as an rx 580 user, i feel you

I've been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For me it's the power usage. All the new graphics cards would almost double my power bill

Welp, I'm out.

Those recommend gpu reqs are fucking ridiculous lol. If people are getting anything less that 60 with a 6700xt, then m$ and Bethesda fucked up again.

Also, 125gb? What the fuck?

Ssd required? Does it use direct storage?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm speculating using a physical hard drive will be a poorer user experience - ie: being slow to stream the world data causing pop in, texture loading issues etc

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wouldn't that need Windows 11?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah I have a SSD with my rig running Windows 10. You'll just have to switch your hard drive which can be kind of a pain

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good to know, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

DirectStorage is supported by Windows 10 and 11.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since they're locking Consoles to 30 fps I'm worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

If that's the case I'll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂

I won't be getting it day1 as I have an RTX 30-series GPU that is half the performance of the minimum requirement, hopefully this is a case of them being overly cautious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like getting any big game day 1 is risky. I usually give most games 6 months to mature now.

Wonder what steam deck support will look like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oof. That min spec? That's my max spec right there. Except linux not windows.

Hopefully I can run this at close to 60fps on my pc with a 3070. I really don’t want to upgrade for a car with more VRAM.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is my fear as well. Considering their targeting 30fps for the consoles, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what these specs are targeting as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wish they would add more context to their specs, like how some devs list resolution/fps targets.
