Requirements...

[Feorun]

are those req. for 1080 high 60 fps?

"Recommended" is the minimum Best specs your system will play the game on.
"Minimum" is the minimum the game should run on at all.

Will those minimum requirements apply to non VR as well or are the stated requirements the same no matter what?

[Feorun]

didnt notice VR, that explains a lot. Probably dont need 6800xt to play on 1080. Ok, I am good :)

[Jimrh69]

Would be nice to know if the system requirements for non VR would be more reasonable.

Aren't recommended supposed to be "the game will run as it intended" and minimum are "will run on low settings but with stable FPS"?
Because "Recommended is the minimum" kinda does not make any sense.
Or maybe gamers these days just having such low standards lol.

It's true, it does not make sense if you leave out the "Best".

Hi guys. I checked out the requirements for the game, and I am concerned about the RAM requirement. They recommend 32GB, and I only have 16GB in my laptop. Here are my laptop specs:

- AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX @ 3.30GHz
- 16GB RAM
- Windows 11 64-bit
- Nvidia RTX 3080 16GB VRAM

Thoughts appreciated :)

It says for minimum graphics "Graphics: Apple, AMD". That's pretty vague.

My MacBook Pro (2019) System Information says I've got:
Chipset Model: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1536 MB
Vendor: Intel
So, how do they compare? Am I okay as far as graphics are concerned?

[later]
everymac.com says "This model has an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 graphics processor that shares memory with the system."
That sounds like it might be bad news.
On the other hand, I have no interest in VR, so maybe it will still run (at all).

Firmament is a visually demanding game. We want to make sure that folks know going in what specs we recommend to enable them to play the game at higher settings by default (and at a high framerate) at higher resolutions or in VR.

In reality, the game is going to perform and look just fine on a machine with 16GB (in fact, we support playing Firmament even on M1 Macbook Airs with 8GB RAM), but knowing how our fans usually have high expectations for what their machines are capable of, we wanted to set the mark for a guaranteed visually good and fast-loading experience on Windows, especially considering the number of configuration options out there for the platform and our need to support folks who want to play in VR as well.

I would not worry. Over at Kickstarter where some of us donated to backing this game while it was being made they speak of the requirements in the latest news fourms and I saw them reply to a post about 16Gigs and they said it will run. They just want everyone to get the best out of playing this game with really strong hardware. It has some intense graphics.

Hi there, we will not officially be supporting Intel GPUs on Mac for Firmament. You are welcome to see if the game will run, but you may run into some unintended visual artifacts.

Thanks for the thoughts and info! I might be able to upgrade my RAM, but my other concern is my laptop's CPU. Should I be concerned/worried about that? Further thoughts appreciated :)

I copied this from one of the creators over at Kickstarter. Take a look at what they posted. Halloween Jack posted this same thing up above. On Macbooks. 8 gigs is fine. Your CPU. I dont know. Maybe someone can jump in here and answer that.

I was scared by the specs of the game with a minimum Ryzen 7 2700X processor
logically it will play satisfactorily and with what weak systems my system is Ryzen 5 2400G > GTX 1050 ti >RAM 16 GB
NOTE: not in my possession VR

My Processor is the Ryzen 7 1700X, Just one step below it. I really am not worry about it at all. From all my research about it. I have learned that they set the requirement high because they set the ((default game settings)) high. we may just have to make a few adjustments for smooth game play. I really am not concerned.
