Below Minimum System Requirements

[Ketho]

What if your pc is below the min requirements? Will it just not run or only with low framerate/settings?

OS: Windows 10
Processor: Core i5-7500 / Ryzen 5 1600
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: GTX 1060 / RX 580 - 6GB VRAM

My specs:

Core i5-4570
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

wont put up in my guess, graphics card is good tho

This has been and still is my biggest gripe with Steam's system requirements listing. It is never clarified whether the minimum requirements are the minimum requirements to run (which is stupid, who wants to be able to run a game only for it to have unplayable frame rates), or whether that is to get playable FPS at lowest settings. Recommended requirements have the same issue.

It will run, it just won't run very well.

This isn't something unique to Steam's system requirements, that's just how system reqs for PC games have been handled literally for decades.

Doesn't mean it's great, but for whatever reason, in all this time nothing better managed to establish itself

Well that sucks, time to save up for an upgrade

[SilentCaay]

The min requirements are close to the min requirements for VR so if you run VR, you should be able to run the game.

Your CPU is only slightly below a 7500 as far as benchmarks go. I'd say it's worth trying first and then deciding if you need an upgrade later unless an upgrade is a make-or-break situation.

Also, hello from a fellow Miku.

Or just do the sane thing and wait for benchmarks, which have also been done for years.

It's VR, where the minimum playable experience (on most headsets) is 90fps. If your computer can't handle 90 fps, it becomes jarring and sickness inducing. I would imagine that the min specs for this are absolute minimum to keep 90fps. It's not like other games where below min specs may run the game at what you might consider playable or good enough.

The 12 GB RAM requirement is so unusual that it must be true.

I'd upgrade that first.

CPUs last a surprising amount of time. You may have to turn down the settings but I think you'll be fine. Get more RAM though, 16GB is generally the best for gaming nowadays.

[Vincent294]

Turn down what settings, the bottleneck is CPU. Draw distance would be the only thing I think would help a CPU. RAM is also bottlenecked but that shouldn't be nearly as pricey to fix. In the end I'd upgrade your RAM or uninstall Discord and other crappy web apps. CPU will probably drop some frames but not enough to make most people sick. Assuming you're most people, I think Dark1x from Digital Foundry said he was very sensitive.

I had the same spec as you until 2 days ago, and I couldn't even run high end games (like Red Dead Redemption 2) properly now without dumbing down bunch of settings. Changed to a Ryzen 7 and 16GB ram and stuffs and things now runs great.

With next gen consoles coming soon its a great time to upgrade

[Baldrickk]

CPU has a LGA1150 socket. upgrading to something like an i7 7700, 8700 should be fairly easy and not too expensive.

[Yuki-San]

buy a new computer to experience it properly.

[Ketho]

Yeah now I can say it's playable but runs sloppily on my system (13~ of 11.1 ms frametime)
