At first glance, these seem like spec requirements and recommendations someone actually put some thought into.

Rock Paper Shotgun has an interview and this was in it

Before jumping into the interview, here’s a quick run-down of what you can expect from the PC version of the game. It’s unusual to see such a marked difference between PC and console at a preview event, but the version that we four PC-dedicated journalists played was splendid. I usually jump into the menu screens to invert my y-axis and then hop out immediately. The Division has so many options to play with though.

At the base, there are strong keyboard and mouse controls, which make inventory management a drag-and-drop joy in comparison to the controller equivalent. Those go hand in hand with extensive customisation options. Those include a wealth of visual settings (you can turn ambient occlusion off, should you wish) and a fully customisable HUD. Windows and other elements can be resized and shifted around the screen (or screens; up to three are supported as are multiple GPUs) as you desire.

All of that and no framerate locks. Right. On with the interview.

 

[R3TRO]

That's not too bad.

Hopefully performance isn't terrible.

 

[Dictator93]

I am listening. WHERE IS THE FOOTAGE

 

[iNvid02]

Hopefully performance isn't terrible.

judging by ubi's past PC games and massive's pedigree it should be alright

 

[suddenlyissoon]

My rig will destroy this! So pumped to have an a new game to play on PC.

 

[Nappuccino]

My poor, normal 660.

 

[Adry9]

So Ubi didn't post any PC footage or screens. Now, why would that be?

 

[Akronis]

Oh shit that's right it's Massive. Dat World in Conflict pedigree.

 

[dex3108]

The UI is also completely customisable, letting you resize and reposition every part of the on-screen HUD. "Not only can you do that," says Jansen, "but, if you have multiple monitors, you can decide to have all of [the UI elements] on one monitor. Especially if you’re running a triple-monitor setup it’s nice. Even if you don't—if you have a separate monitor where you put up all your stuff, and then [the primary monitor] is completely clean. Being able to change that and change the size is not something you see, and it’s very, very cool. It’s one of the things we’re extra proud of for the PC version."

Microsoft XB1 exclusivity deal ?

Awesome.

Glad the PC version is leaving the console skus in their wake.

Expectedly higher end settings will not come for free, I expect a heavy game and the Nvidia sponsoring does not come at any surprise.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

When does the review embargo on PC footage end and? 25th or today?

 

[SmartWaffles]

PC embargo ends in a hour I think.

Check this thread guys. For impressions etc.

Eh. My 980 barely passes. I hope I can run this @720p30

 

[Kezen]

Glad to see yet another game supporting the best SSAO method.

Ok now that is pretty awesome.

 

[Get_craycray]

It's funny because Ubi claims that those are screens from the PC version.

They look like artwork to me, plus those are some damned low-res "screens"

 

[Adry9]

Nope, they just released concept art claiming is PC footage.

Embargo is over.

Whaaaaaaaaattttt!?!?!?

I've been crying out for proper flexible UI support in stuff that isn't an MMO for donkey years. Swedish devs = best devs.

 

[Theorry]

 

[Kezen]

Those shots look like artworks to me. Regardless, I expect a really stunning PC version even without all settings cranked up to max.

I also expect modest hardware (7870, 2011 Intel quad core) to match consoles with ease.

 

[Dictator93]

I spend a lot of time staring at pixels. There is a lot of stuff in these screens that is just "right".

Check out the specular highlight from that ball thing rolling on the ground in the second screen shot: very nice.

 

[Get_craycray]

Those high-res screens look a lot less "artworky" than the low-res ones but there's still something off about them.

 

[FirewalkR]

The thumbnails looked like concept art but these look like the real deal. And if you can run it like this in realtime at least with the recommended specs (or above) then it looks very very good!

I know what you mean, that part in front of the left truck in the first picture for example... the lighting looks... too good? Hopefully the engine can do this.

 

[Theorry]

I think they look also abit "artworky" because of the engine it uses.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Looks like something straight out of the GAF pc screenshot thread.

 

[Evolution of Metal]

RIP Dual Cores.

 

[Kezen]

RIP Dual Cores.

Core I3 are technically dual core with HT and they should be enough for console settings.

 

[Durante]

Indeed, Ubisoft generally does great PC versions.

 

[Hellgardia]

Well guess i'll try out the Beta next week and see if i can find out if those requirements are accurate (or close to accurate).

Looks good though!

 

[Oreoleo]

My poor, normal 660.

I hear ya man. Just a few months ago I'd have said it's keeping up just fine.

Now I feel like Pascal can't come soon enough. 660 barely meets the minimum requirements for every game getting announced/released anymore.

 

[Kezen]

How can you tell if they are "accurate" when no targets is stipulated ? What will you base your impression on ?

What is certain is that a 970 / 290 should run it with very good visual fidelity at 50-60fps, if I had to guess 50-60fps at high settings. Ultra could ask for a little more.

 

[elitewillie1]

If PC looks like that I'm going to double dip Xbox one and PC.

 

[Smokey]

Massive honoring the PC bros in the right way

 

[Possumowner]

Looks fine to me.May actually jump in if opinions and reviews are good

 

[Dictator93]

Massive honoring the PC bros in the right way

Same scene, different angle. Avatar change is confusing, smokey. I am not sure if I like change.

 

[qa_engineer]

I was hoping this game would support DX12. Im just curious as to how a mainstream AAA title w/ dx12 support will run on my PC. And no, Ashes of the Singularity is not a AAA mainstream title IMO.

It can, but no guarantees it will.

It is AAA when it comes to tech, in fact it's downright cutting edge.

I would assume minimum for low settings @>30fps and recommended something like high@>30fps. Seeing i actually have 2 rigs that are very similar to both min and recommended, i can see if it corresponds to what i expect. Maybe accurate wasn't the word for it, my bad.

They haven't set CA to Off.

We can't draw any conclusion right now but I believe the 970 recommendation means a quality experience (certainly not a locked 60fps of course) at 1080p using high settings.

That's my expectation, what is absolutely sure is the degree of scalability on offer.
Console settings and framerate should be very easy to reach for those with entry level gaming hardware.

Minimum and recommended give no indication of performance or resolution at any settings unless explicitly stated.

This information only tells us that the game is scalable based on the minimum requirements. That's it.

 

[Hellgardia]

I am aware that minimum and recommended specs are not "you will run this at X settings with Y FPS". That's why i said what i expected from each one of those configs.

 

[GRIMREEFZ]

my i72600 is looking like a dinosaur...

 

[Micerider]

I hear ya man. Just a few months ago I'd have said it's keeping up just fine.

Now I feel like Pascal can't come soon enough. 660 barely meets the minimum requirements for every game getting announced/released anymore.

I couldn't wait and got rid of my GTX 660, but I still wants Pascal or Polaris mid-high end soonish. So I found a 7970 (pretty much on par or above GTX 960 or, obviously 280x) to tide me over for dirt cheap (90 EUR. Brand new).
