You need an i7 and 8GB RAM plus the new ATI and nvidia DX11 cards to play it. It also stated that your monitor needs 125MHz refresh rate. Just check Steam or wikipedia for proof of what i am telling you.

This is for the optimum req. for this game. So if we don't have an i7 and 8GB of RAM, we can max the game out right? Then the game will just look rubbish.

Your rig should have no problems playing it. Use sys reqs only as a guideline, don't worry if you don't meet them 100%.

System requirements also assume you aren't overclocking.

It's been said before, The optimum Reqs are basically marketing.

No game will need an i7(or i5) for that matter to make a game playable for a few years.

Fist off, calm down. Now... the 125Mhz refresh thing is for nvidia's 3D stuff. As for needing a DX11 card for optimum visuals... the game has DX11 if you didn't notice... a DX 10 card won't display the best details possible in this game. I have no comment on the 8GB of RAM other than you only need 2GB to play it at well enough, I can't honestly see it needing 8GB orver 6 or 4 GB if 2GB is plenty enough for recommended. The game as far as the processor goes... maybe the i7/i5 cores will help, they might have coded the game to take advantage of some of the things they can do. And remember, a 3.0+GHz dual core will work for recommended specs.

So in other words, chill.

* As much RAM as possible (8GB+)

So they're admitting from the start the engine has a memory leak? Because it should hit a finite limit at some point with a properly-coded engine. Sounds like stalker devs for sure

The "optimum" requirenments are just advertising for the hardware guys.

It'll play just fine on a 60Hz, fast dual or quad core, and a decent DX10 video card. Don't buy into the hype.

For godsake, it's also on xbox 360. This means that if your PC has at least as much power as a 360, you'll be able to play it, and it will most likely look as good as it does on 360 (which is supposed to be pretty great, actually). Now, I dunno about you, but it's been a good 4 years since my PC was only as powerful as a 360 is now.

The one downside (to me) is that it's a TWIMTBP game ... I'm hoping that doesn't mean phys-x ...

Yep, physx out the yingyang. That's why I've lost interest in it, the neat effects will be coded in cuda and unavailable to us mere peasants.

all I have to say is read this....

http://www.overclock.net/video-game-...ro-2033-a.html

and don't feel like nvidia ruined it, they didn't at all. This is a very well coded game with MANY features to enable for EVERYBODY.

That's not really ture. The PC version will look better. It has some PC specific things.

Quote:

• most of the textures are 2048^2 (consoles use 1024^2) • the shadow-map resolution is up to 9.43 Mpix • the shadow filtering is much, much better • the parallax mapping is enabled on all surfaces, some with occlusion-mapping • we've utilized a lot of "true†volumetric stuff, which is very important in dusty environments • from DX10 upwards we use correct "local motion blur†(sometimes called "object blurâ€) • the light-material response is nearly "physically-correct†on higher quality presets • the ambient occlusion is greatly improved (especially on higher quality presets) • sub-surface scattering makes a lot of difference on human faces, hands, etc. • the geometric detail is somewhat better - because of different LOD selection (not even counting DX11 tessellation)

 

[Velcrowchickensoup]

Dont fret most of us will be able to max it, i really couldn't care less about phys-x.

 

[linkin93]

I couldn't care less about PissX, but the game does look awesome in general!

 

[BradleyW]

Hopefully it's not a bad stutter game like all the stalker series.

The optimal requirements use cards that aren't even out yet. lol

Exactly what I was thinking. I can't imagine what game would need more than 8GB of RAM.

This game looks pretty cool though. If I can pull myself away from BFBC2 I might give it a shot.

 

[TestECull]

Boot to the Head oughtta be able to run it if the minimum recs are anything to go by.

 

[BradleyW]

I will have this game within the next 6-8 hours so we will see how it runs. Looks like stalker if you ask me.
