Looking to buy the game but not sure if the game will run properly

Can you run it? Based on just the info provided only for the GPU perhaps. Remember minimum requirements are a recipe of hardware needs to operate a game and not just your gpu.

Can you run it at the highest graphic fidelity and performance settings without incurring issues? Likely not. That's why there's also a recommended requirements listed to say that it or above would meet the needs to run at the best fidelity/performance settings.

I've run the game on a gtx 1050, so you might be good, but maybe only barely. I'd say give it a test run and see how it does.

When it first came out I was using a rx580 @ 2560x1080 and it was playable, I didn't see much difference between the 4gb and 8gb models, I had both and tried both. If I would have to guess, I would guess it would be fine at 1920x1080...it is slightly above the minimum reqs listed on the store page

yeah I want to run it at 1080p I also have i7-7700k and 16gb RAM but if it can barely run then its probably not a good idea, Thanks for the help!

Been running it on my "Little system that could" with the GTX 1050 Ti. That's actually pretty equivalent to your 970- the 1060 would be the next step up. And it runs the game really well at my monitor's native 1920 x 1080. I use VSYNC, so no idea if it will go over 60 fps. Not running at minimum settings either. I let NVIDIA GeForce Experience optimize the graphics for my GPU on supported games.
I've got my 1050 overclocked to ~1700 MHz, ~3500 MHz memory clock.
The 970 is a $134 card now, so if you can afford to replace it, I suggest using MSI Afterburner to overclock it. Afterburner will do an automatic analysis and figure the highest stable overclock. Takes a while, so be patient.

970 is close to 1060 3g
so yes its playable at 1080p, higher res will need lower settings to hold 60+fps

min req is also a 2.5ghz quad core cpu
so fx8 (4 core with smt) or pii x4 or core 2 quad or any i5 quad should be able to play

I ran this game at 30 fps on an m2000 quadro paired with an i5-7500

Then I used proton ge fsr to get 60fps.

Everything was set to low as I could get it.

I think your card will run this fine as it is significantly more powerful.

(Don't worry folks this was a test environment I have a 4070ti/5800x3d build)

My old system is an i7-4790 with 16 GB of ram and a GTX 960. It runs fine on that. Just a little lag in multiplayer or in a place where the terrain has been modified extensively.

I think it should run fine on lower graphics, I used to play it with an even lower GPU

game runs absolutely great on a gtx 970 from my experience

There's a low res render option now too, so if you don't mind a bit of blur then definitely yes.

I have an AMD RX 580 graphics card and everything ran perfectly.

It will run perfectly fine even maxed out.

You should fact check yourself before typing that gtx970 is equal to gtx1050ti.
