Dont say that, we don't know: Nobody has played it on their rigs yet.

From what I see, he meets the minimum specs on CPU, GPU and RAM, he should be fine to at least be able to run it and be stable.

He likely wont be able to crank up all the eyecandy, but to say it will run badly is saying too much at this point.

I'm also buying 8GB of RAM before the game's release so that may help.

You'll be fine. Most important thing seems to be the CPU, since they have so much going on with thousants of NPC's on screen, all calculating individual AI behaviour, crowds interacting and reacting to eachother and so on and so on.

Seems you are set CPU wise and your videocard is the exact one the minimum specs require.
RAM always helps, especially since we expect it to be a bad port, it'll help you close the gap performance-wise.


Sadly, nobody will be able to reliably tell you how the game will run: Nobody knows, nobody but the devs have played it on their own rigs. I'm taking a wild guess here myself.
But I have similair specs to yours and I am willing to wait and see how it runs. We meet the minimum requirements, so we should be able to at least play it at a reasonable standard.

It's still a risk, you'll just have to decide for yourself.

[[PNP] Yoda Gaming]

I'll take the risk.

DO NOT PURCHASE, I repeat DO NOT PURCHASE, wait for reviews of pc performance.

[[PNP] Yoda Gaming]

Got it.

[schwimmer]

Ye I have 8 gigs of RAM and a GTX 660... dayum.

[Rimuru]

I'm trying not to assume malice here but it looks like they are intentionally gimping the pc version. these specs are outrageous.

[[PNP] Yoda Gaming]

Agreed, I'm just going to buy it on Xbox One.

[[PNP] Yoda Gaming]

I cannot afford a £400 graphics gard.

[Duck]

I have gtx660SLI so hopefully that runs well.

Anything below GeForce GTX 680 will not run, Ubisoft said. Even on next-gen consoles, the game has fps drops a lot.

I'd take that with a grain of salt till people can see for themselves. Shadow of Mordor and Evil within also had highly bloated requirements. An 80 dollar gamble is probably not worth it though. I'll wait for the benchmarks before purchasing(if at all).
