GTX 1060 6GB + i5 10600KF + SSD + 16GB Ram
Will it run? Or should I wait until they optimize a little more? I don't have money to buy another gpu so what are your opinions, guys?

I've heard rumors that 16 GB isn't enough for this game and it will stutter a lot.

But you can play for 2 hours and get a refund if it doesn't work for you.

Yeah I am waiting for this answer too. I am currently planning on getting the PS4 version when it releases just so I don't have to worry about it, because I am afraid my setup (which is the same as yours, except I have an SDHD rather than a full SSD) won't be good enough to play it :/

Memory is a lot cheaper than a GPU if your motherboard can slot an extra 16, so if it is just a memory thing, it would still be doable.

It will run on low settings. You will still have some fps drops but nothing unplayable, if you lucky. Because unplayable state occurs regardless of your hardware. You can always wait for a crack and try it before buying

If you're playing at like 1080P with medium settings you will likely be fine. My 3070 was hitting a VRAM cap on high/ultra settings. I turned it down to a mix of medium/high and now the VRAM usage is often 4-6G. So as long as you're not pushing the graphic settings/resolution too high you will likely be fine.

To be blunt this game's high/ultra settings are huge hogs, but it's lower settings far less.

An issue I have with the game is it has no fullscreen mode. So if you have a higher resolution monitor, 1080P may not even be an option which is ridiculous. Because it will not allow you to set lower than monitor's resolution.

I run the game with a 1660 super, i5-11400F, and 16 gb of ram. I get a pretty stable 56-60 FPS while playing the game on recommended with a few graphics tweaks to ultra. I'm sure it will run fine. Just make sure you have good cooling. This game is demanding

I can expand my memory, but I'm focusing on studying and I'd spend the extra money I had to maximize my comfort in my room with a new desk + other acessories. Maybe I'll just wait and buy another gpu in the end of this year

Do you run it on SSD?

Pushing an I7-10700 with 16gb and an Nvidia 2060. Game plays pretty smooth for the most part (lags sometimes during motion blur) but recommended is video is Medium at 1440

I'm going to play with shadows on low and 1080p, I do not use Motion Blur (that, afaik, drops a bit of fps)

Yes btw you can play the title on an SSD for a bit of speed. Keep in mind the game files are
72.9 GB (recommended to have 85 Gb of SSD available). Do remember reading that the files are not optimized so may not be worth it though.
