So the Top DX11 Requirments, require a Fermi card that isn't even out yet.

Superb. Well played THQ, well played

Reading that reminded me of why I got out of PC gaming.

Likely similar performance ATI DX11 cards. Based on the requirements, they seem to heavily favor nVidia though, so they probably optimized the game for nVidia cards (not a single mention of ATI cards in any of their requirements).

That being said, never heard of the game till now, doesn't seem to be my style game either. So good luck to those who wish to play it.

This game looks absolutely amazing visually from the screens I have seen, so not surprised by these specs.

So I should be able to run it Medium to High without any of the fancy DX11 stuff. Who knows though by the time it comes out I very well may pick up a DX11 card. Unlikely but possible.

8GB+ of ram? lol, Riiight

[soumyasch]

So this is the new Crysis, then?

Appears so and about time, we needed another Benchmark milestone!

Although, now we have to hear people moan and whine like 3 year olds how their PCs can't cope, how lame it is etc.

[obiwong]

haha!

finally an excuse to upgrade

[Minifig]

:blink:

Good God.

I hope the game is actually worth playing for the recommended stats.

[goji]

^ I'm beginning to wonder if the added ram and power is compensation for less efficient coding. :whistle:

I can wonder.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Interesting, but understandable. Game developers should have more realistic requirements. I just hope the game performs well. As for the game being optimized for NVIDIA video cards, I highly doubt it. ATI has had their DX11 video cards out for a while now and they worked with most DX11 developers. NVIDIA is simply too late to the playing field with their DX11 video cards.

[Zain Adeel]

the game doesnt look so pretty...

i suspect bad optimizations..

like crysis..

but atleast it looked way ahead of its time

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I had no idea it released next month, I thought this was like a Holiday release. So yeah, no way at all I will be getting a DX11 card by the time this game comes out, no way at all.

[Zain Adeel]

i hope my GTS250 can run it well on a low res like 1024x768 for the time being.

[Vice]

Looks like I pass the recommended (Waiting on the GTX480 to hit)

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Looks like we've got another Crysis on our hands.

Most likely - like Crysis, 2+ years after its release it'll still cost a fortune to run maxed out at a decent framerate. I wouldn't even count on it running maxed out decently on a Fermi 480

[Inklin]

It'll be 2033 by the time most people have got a PC capable of playing this game :p

Those same people are likely the ones moaning and kvetching about the eased-up graphical requirements of Supreme Commander 2 compared to the original (which had system requirements that rivaled those of Crysis) and the eased-up *brain* requirements of most of the RTS cycle in general (not just Supreme Commander 2, but C&C 4 and Starcraft 2, not to mention Sins of a Solar Empire).

[rajputwarrior]

i saw the trailer for this game and i don't understand why the sys requirements are soo high...

[qdave]

Havent heard of this game really :p But specs seem reasonable, especially because of my recent upgrade :p

[1759]

The game looks 'meh', in spite of the high requirements. After seeing the GTX480 benchmark on engadget, in how it basically matches the 6 month old HD 5870 in most benches, I don't care what Nvidia is up to, glad I stuck with ATI on my new build.

Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the Metro in Fallout 3, just darker, and different enemies.

[Slammers]

I don't get why people give companys **** for releasing games that require yet to be released hardware to run them at full settings.

I could understand if the game didn't look great but that's not the case with this game.

Sure it's recommended system requirements are about the same as most new fps's optimum but you can be sure that even at medium settings it'll look as good or better than many new games on the market.

Do you guys not want the option to play it again at even better gfx in a year or two if you happen to upgrade your hardware?

Why should a company dumb down a games gfx just so current hardware can run it on high.

As a pc gamer i would like (hope) to think that we are not to stupid to just slide the bar down to high/medium instead of getting a low framerate at max and complaining.

edit: i know most of the people who posted in this thread aren't complaining, im just ranting because i know hundreds of people will complain like they did with crysis
