    Damn, these are jacked specs. Literally just upgraded in January from my old ryzen 2600x and 1070ti combo to a 6700xt and ryzen 5600x. My new GPU doesn’t even meet the recommended specs wtf lol.

      I have an RTX 30-series GPU and its only half of the minimum GPU, I’m hoping its a 1440p spec list given the Series S version will be 1440p.

      If it can run at 1440p on the XS|S, it should run on my RTX-3050 (laptop 85W).

      There’s no way those specs are right. Their games are notoriously CPU dependent, I refuse to believe a R5 3600 can get stable 60fps gameplay out of this engine but a 6700xt cannot.

      But if they’re right, there’s gonna be a lot of complaints surrounding optimization around launch, and the 30fps BS on console will make a lot more sense.

      Edit: In fact, your GPU does meet recommended spec, because it outperforms the “recommended” 2080 in every benchmark I’ve seen, and has 50% more VRAM. Ignore this garbage, wait for reviews.
