Whew...close call lol.

Curious: Would having a developer use Hyperthreading ie: i7's 8 threads, keep processors like the 2600k viable later on in this generation ?

As other people have said, it can make a difference.

However, I'd like to add that it's not so much "using hyperthreading" -- I doubt any game has code specifically to use hyperthreading -- as it simply is "having good parallel scaling". If a game scales well to more than 4 HW threads it will probably benefit from hyperthreading.

Thanks for the info.

Previously posted requirements were placeholders, these are the new requirements.



Much more reasonable now.

Haha, well that's cleared up now

Good lord at 16GB of DDR3 recommended! This game should have some interesting benchmarks, got no clue how they could utilize so much ram.

 

[ashecitism]

errrr look at the update?

 

[ShogunX]

Be interesting to see how my 750Ti tackles this.

 

[Daingurse]

Didn't see the update, still early for me I guess. 8GB is more reasonable.

 

[Handy Fake]

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't run that.

 

[Levyne]

Recommending a 780 still has me itching for an upgrade next year, at least on the gpu side. I guess I can sit on my lowly 16gb ddr3 for a bit longer

When do the next batch of CPUs hit the market? 2500k is finally losing steam. ::sadface::

IMO, the things till has a lot of steam left in it when dx12 comes around.

Q2 2015. Broadwell K (unlocked, 14nm shrink of Haswell) and Skylake (14nm new architecture). As far as I know, there's no official announcement of unlocked Skylake CPUs. The desktop model (S) will have locked multiplier. Hopefully, unlocked K models will come sometime later.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Got an fx8320 and a 7870 ghz edition, so I'm barely scraping by on the cpu. Hopefully it runs smoothly on minimum requirements.

They've ruined all the fun.

 

[SerTapTap]

Aw, I was kinda hoping they DID somehow need crazy amounts of ram. But yeah, that's more reasonable

 

[ClaptoVaughn]

It's ok, we'll still have GTA 5's pc specs to freak out about.

Yup.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

lol @ 16 gigs of ram. I have that...but it's hilarious to think a game would recommend having that much ram.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Why is the i5 being compared with the Fx when the best Fx isn't even in the same ballpark as the minimum i5?

Should be a i7 920 or some modern i3 in this sys reqs.
Someone must be paying or the people who come up with the reqs are really stupid and out of touch with reality.

 

[jim2point0]

The new requirements seem more in line with the visuals I've seen so far. The 16GB VRAM recommendation never bothered me though since that was a no-brainer for me (I've had more than 8GB system ram used before, though not by gaming).

 

[Denton]

Can anyone reasonably explain what purpose has uploading "placeholder" requirements that are completely insane and will cause people to freak out ?
Why not upload the correct ones in the first place ?

 

[Haunted]

Hey I meet the new minimum requirements.

Also, if we bitch more about these now, will they arbitrarily lower them again?

It's ridiculous.

 

[rBose]

LOL we now use placeholders for sys req ?

Goobysoft is that you?

The difference between the i5 2500 and the i5 4670 really isn't that big, so yea, it does seem a bit strange. I imagine what they're saying is that you should have 4 cores. Perhaps even minimum, that could be understandable in an open-world, next-gen only game like this.

Will still be interesting to see if it can run on a dual core, but these [updated]requirements look reasonable otherwise, so I wouldn't be surprised if it truly is at almost unacceptable levels without at least the 4 core.
