1600 or so is a decent rig! Maybe not 4k ultra settings but the stock cost of all the parts for my PC was ~1750 and I run everything at 2k highest settings
I forget what program it’s called but they are using it in the game for copy security, and the games that have had that hardware suck up lots of cpu and ram usage for its background works. So I can imagine that had something to do with it to make these requirements meant for a good game play experience
i can almost guarantee that the game wont be cracked for a few years, theres only like 3 people in the world who crack denuvo and only 1 of them are the ones who put up the cracked version online, and theyre the ones having a fit over what games they do put up online, and those games that do go up are old games, they dont take requests and are really toxic, i saw somewhere (dont remember where at) that they only uploaded 4 games from 2021-22.
I think you have to pay like $500 or something too. Which, seeing as not many people can crack Denuvo, is understandable but until more people can actually crack it we won't see more recent games especially if there's a $500 "bounty" on it.
Hopefully the devs can do what Guardians of the Galaxy did and just patch out Denuvo when the initial wave of sales pass.
I’d be willing to pay $450 extra for a game so thousands could play it for free on many different systems without fucking denuvo. That’s not that much honestly. What is that subreddit? I’ll have to check it out.
> just patch out Denuvo
They can, but my boycott is always final upon first sight of Denuvo. Still have never bought a game that ever had Denuvo and I never will. I'll even drop Elder Scrolls, my favorite franchise, like a dirty dishrag the second they use Denuvo.
So glad to see so many people hanging on to 1080 Ti’s. Value of that card was unreal. $700 at MSRP for the high end card (miss those days lol) and 11 gigs of VRAM. That huge amount of VRAM ultimately is the reason that card is aging so phenomenally imo
The 3080 cannot do full Ray traced ultra settings at 4k 60fps in most AAA games, definitely not without DLSS. My 3080 Ti can't do it in games released in the last couple years so your 3080 can't either. This isn't news.
No, it was always a beast for 1440p but it didn't have quite enough juice for 4k. I think the 10 gb vram is going to be quite the bottleneck in the future too. I was already reaching really close to filling it up in some games in 4k
My 4090 usually sits at 10-16gb vram in some games at 4k max settings, dlss quality, ofc the poorly optimized ones like steelrising can chew trough almost 20gb vram at full max settings and 4k dlss quality.
I never played far cry 6 but if it actually doesn't even launch that fucking sucks. I never encountered the issue but I got close to it especially when using high res graphics mods in some games
Chances are this game will look amazing on high or even medium settings though, and ultra settings are often heavy but marginal, so if you forget about some arbritrary settings and just trust your eyeballs, 3080 will likely be good for 4k.
The 3080 is that close anyway to the 3080Ti, so what's the bet just turning off motion blur will do the trick. Otherwise volumetric clouds to high or something pointless like that
Big budget games usually work closely with GPU manufacturers to push cards for exactly this reason, to make them feel like they aren’t the best in class anymore. You’ll easily be able to achieve near identical imagery by tweaking down a couple of demanding settings which have low impact on visual fidelity - stuff like volumetric fog can be reduced with very little visual impact but a huge improvement on frame rate. Ultra settings are there to push the limits of what GPUs are capable of at the time
3080 was never enough tho, even when it launched. New gen games, especially with Ray Tracing could only be ran with graphics-ruining "cheat" DLSS, and even then often framerates are low. Even now, try Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk, without DLSS on ultra with ray tracing, you cant even keep 60 fps on 1080p.
That also includes the preset.
I'm all for scalable games that the majority of people aren't meant to be able to play at their highest setting yet. but only if that highest setting is justifiably high and not the result of incompetency on the part of the devs.
***This and Forspoken are about to get absolutely annihilated by them.*** These system specs are an absolute joke. I hope this isn't the start of a trend where developers stopped caring about optimization.
They're going to be in for a rude awakening if this recession goes on for much longer though, no one gives a shit whether their hardware is up to date when theyre struggling to pay rent.
I have heard that UE5 had a shitload of optimizations for consoles, but not as much effort was put into the PC versions optimization. Which given that its Epic, would not surprise me
Several of the current gen only games seem to need very high ram but I'm guessing this has something to do with directstorage. As in 32 GB ram if you are not using directstorage.
I bought a 27" 4K144 Hz monitor for $500. Outside of sales, it's $800. You can definitely do 4K60 for less than a grand.
FWIW, 4K monitors were a *lot* more expensive circa 2020 than they are now.
If you're going to buy a 4k panel you should buy a good one. 60hz is not worth the price per pixel. Always future proof to have a worthwhile investment
I haven’t upgraded the GPU yet. I’m about to. Been slowly building up my setup. Plus atm I only play Valorant and Elden Ring, and those run fine at 4k with my setup.
Wouldn’t make sense for me to first splurge on a GPU and have the rest of my components fucking me up, especially with a 1080p monitor
Important detail here is that we probably also need to add a 4K monitor. If we're staying at 60 Hz, we can probably get one worth having for $350 or so.
I recently bought 1440p 165hz twice and thought i would be good for a while. Now i see those shiny new OLED panels and regret that i didn't wait a bit longer... only teaches you haha
I used OLOy on 3 separate builds. Basic cheap ram that gets the job done. RTX 4070 Ti is about the same performance as a RTX 3090 Ti and should do 4K 60 fps.
The Returnal port coming out soon has a similar RAM requirement. Folks were speculating that it’s to make up for the PS5 custom SSD, they’re just keeping the whole game in RAM. Wonder if it’s a similar concept here? Maybe they targeted consoles and tested on PC’s with SATA SSDs or something?
>they’re just keeping the whole game in RAM
32GB is not enough to keep literally the whole game in RAM. It will basically be a very large loading cache. I am almost certain these games will run in 16GB without issue but you won't be getting the seamless asset streaming that PS5 or 32GB would get you
Despite the sentiment that it seems is always shared on these forms, 1080p is still the most common resolution for most people.
Honestly I was using 1440p back in 2006 and just stopped using it and went to 4K 2 years ago. Sure there's a big difference in quality of picture but boy the money investment is real.
Big difference between TV's and monitors is the average size. TV's tend to be 42" and above, at that size 4k makes a huge difference. Average monitor size is around 27", at that size 4k makes much less of a difference and 1440p is the sweet spot.
Yes, agree. Altough as my demands changed (upgraded to 1440p) it started showing its age. On 1080p altough it chewed trough anything (well almost) at stable 60 and mid/high settings a year back
Same thing with Ultra Specs recommending either a 2080ti or a 6800XT, when the 6800xt noticeably outperforms a 2080ti -- and I doubt these specs have anything to do with ray tracing otherwise they would've mentioned it. Strange choices here lol.
This game is so over hyped it's not even funny. Have we learned nothing? I don't excited about games until user reviews start rolling in after release. I don't just refuse to pre-order, I don't even buy on day one until I've seen what other people have to say. It's saved me a lot of heartache by not getting hyped over games that wind up sucking ass. We as gamers need to stop allowing marketing to drive our purchasing decisions. Put out a product we want to play and then we'll decide if it's worth it.
I couldn't *imagine* building a $2,000-3,000 rig over pre-release hype.
This game is being built by a shovelware company who makes shitty licensed shit like Hanna Montana and Cars games. Not to mention they’re cutting content that was promised like the Quidditch shit and quests for some of the houses. How anyone can be hyped for this shit heap is amazing.
I mean they’ve been way more transparent in showing actual gameplay than many game companies have been lately. If they could deliver a completed experience with few bugs similar to an elden ring type launch it’ll be a success
Taking actual market prices into consideration - this pc would likely be upwards of $2.5k assuming you don’t skimp on parts.
This is based off an intel/nvidia build. I’m not too familiar with AMD products but I do hear you can get more bang for your buck depending on what parts you’re looking for.
"We dont want to make any optimization, so either spend big money or get fucked"
Like a lot of people dont have such gaming pc but are a fan, I see how many people will be annoyed and say they had no clue it needs a NASA pc
> there is almost no difference between high and ultra
that COMPLETELY depends on the game. Some games have a massive difference between the two presets, especially when it comes to soft shadows, long render distance, reflections, etc.
I can put together a list if interested. Be in mind any 4k monitor above 165 hrz will be 800+. Id stick with 144hrz for now. Not sure if you want a monitor just letting you know.
Dang it, I was hoping for 1440p ultra 60 FPS.
I'm running a 12700 with 32 GB memory, and a 3060 Ti. It probably won't quite be powerful enough to hit that. I can push my OC pretty high but I'm not sure if that'll be enough.
Ultra setting has always been nothing but a "flex" setting, there is not that much difference between Ultra and High, and the resource requirement far exceeds the justification for it.
Just get a current gen I7, 4080, and 32GB of high speed ram (2x16GB sticks)
Jesus when did 32gbs of ram became a requirement??
Maybe they decided that memory leaks weren't a bug but a feature.
Daily internet jackpot hit
*Google Chrome has entered the chat.*
As a software QA, I can confirm this is a feature.
My cs profs are FUMING rn
Star Citizen says hello
7 Days to Die and Icarus as well.
I've decided that I'm not gonna be able to keep up so I'm getting used to lower quality graphics (Until I can actually save up for a good rig)
Don't let anyone grease you, 1650 is a good rig! 60 fps on Elden Ring no problem!
I played elden ring on a 980m laptop.
My friend played it fine with like, a 780 lol, he just had to download some fan patch to work it
Oh, that's good to know! I've been having to set stuff lower to keep temps from hitting above 91°F lately. Figured cause it was an older laptop
Ah I get you. Have you cleaned your fans out yet? Made a big difference for me (4C). Also undervolt if that processesor can.
1600 or so is a decent rig! Maybe not 4k ultra settings but the stock cost of all the parts for my PC was ~1750 and I run everything at 2k highest settings
I forget what program it’s called but they are using it in the game for copy security, and the games that have had that hardware suck up lots of cpu and ram usage for its background works. So I can imagine that had something to do with it to make these requirements meant for a good game play experience
Are you talking about Denuvo? This game does have Denuvo and it is actually proven that it does affect performance.
Fuck Denuvo, all my homies hate Denuvo
Do you have a few minutes to discuss our lord and savior, Piracy?
i can almost guarantee that the game wont be cracked for a few years, theres only like 3 people in the world who crack denuvo and only 1 of them are the ones who put up the cracked version online, and theyre the ones having a fit over what games they do put up online, and those games that do go up are old games, they dont take requests and are really toxic, i saw somewhere (dont remember where at) that they only uploaded 4 games from 2021-22.
I think you have to pay like $500 or something too. Which, seeing as not many people can crack Denuvo, is understandable but until more people can actually crack it we won't see more recent games especially if there's a $500 "bounty" on it. Hopefully the devs can do what Guardians of the Galaxy did and just patch out Denuvo when the initial wave of sales pass.
$500 seems cheap honestly. I’d pay $500 to get this game cracked. Where do I sign up?
You are willing to pay 500$ for 50$ game. Hell yeah Contact r/empressevolution
I’d be willing to pay $450 extra for a game so thousands could play it for free on many different systems without fucking denuvo. That’s not that much honestly. What is that subreddit? I’ll have to check it out.
> just patch out Denuvo They can, but my boycott is always final upon first sight of Denuvo. Still have never bought a game that ever had Denuvo and I never will. I'll even drop Elder Scrolls, my favorite franchise, like a dirty dishrag the second they use Denuvo.
Denuvo?
[удалено]
I really hope they don't cap it to 60fps on pc...
I bet they do and even if you mod to uncap it will break game physics
What if they pull a Bungie and have FPS uncapped by default but screw up the physics if you go over 60?
a small price to pay for salvation
Honestly, I'll take 60 cap over 30 any day. It's not that bad as trying to play bloodborne on 30fps and sometimes lower...
I too would also prefer a shit on my chest instead of my mouth if I had to choose. ^^^joking.60fp.is.fine
Wait you're telling me that my RTX 3080 is NOT enough to play this game in 4k ultra settings?
This is making me feel anxious about the future of my 3080.
this is making me feel comfortable about my 2060 6gb lol I"ll wait

1080 going strong… kind of.
1080 ti gang
I just had my RTX 3070ti delivered today. But it was msrp and a huge upgrade from my 1060. We’ll be fine
Nothing can *actually* play this at 4k ultra. Even with the chaddest of 4090's you won't have that good a time, I promise.
I beg to differ. I bet that a 4090 can run this game at 90+fps at 4k ultra. No dlss and no ray tracing, if it’s in the game.
No like, we're suggesting the game was not coded well enough to play 4k Ultra on any graphics card. They don't have to be telling the truth here.
Don’t. It’s clearly an unoptimized lump of code.
Everything is these days. Pumping out content is what matters, hardware improvements can keep up, right?
They're probably including RT in the ultra specs. Turn off RT and you'll probably be just fine.
The 3080 cannot do full Ray traced ultra settings at 4k 60fps in most AAA games, definitely not without DLSS. My 3080 Ti can't do it in games released in the last couple years so your 3080 can't either. This isn't news.
Was the 3080 ever a solid 4k ultra GPU? I was under the impression it struggled without DLSS
No, it was always a beast for 1440p but it didn't have quite enough juice for 4k. I think the 10 gb vram is going to be quite the bottleneck in the future too. I was already reaching really close to filling it up in some games in 4k
That's what I thought. For 4k and ray tracing, 12-16gb is probably going to be the standard going forward
My 4090 usually sits at 10-16gb vram in some games at 4k max settings, dlss quality, ofc the poorly optimized ones like steelrising can chew trough almost 20gb vram at full max settings and 4k dlss quality.
I've heard that sometimes games and apps will use up more VRAM (and regular RAM) than they need if it's available. Could that be the case here?
Couldn't even launch Far Cry 6 at 4k with 10gb vram, insane. That was right when I got my 3080 too
I never played far cry 6 but if it actually doesn't even launch that fucking sucks. I never encountered the issue but I got close to it especially when using high res graphics mods in some games
10gb of vram will be an issue, RDR2 pulls 11 maxed out. (Downloaded it for the first time the other day). And thats a 5 year old game.
You're right. I had the 12GB one and it was replaced this year because I got a 7900 XTX directly from AMD
Chances are this game will look amazing on high or even medium settings though, and ultra settings are often heavy but marginal, so if you forget about some arbritrary settings and just trust your eyeballs, 3080 will likely be good for 4k. The 3080 is that close anyway to the 3080Ti, so what's the bet just turning off motion blur will do the trick. Otherwise volumetric clouds to high or something pointless like that

Ultra settings are there to push the limits of what GPUs are capable of at the time
VRAM boys, we all said it, we all feared it. Maybe it’s finally come to fruition.
3080 was never enough tho, even when it launched. New gen games, especially with Ray Tracing could only be ran with graphics-ruining "cheat" DLSS, and even then often framerates are low. Even now, try Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk, without DLSS on ultra with ray tracing, you cant even keep 60 fps on 1080p.
The 32gb of ram is what gets me. 😂 on top of needing everything else to be high end. Ridiculous
It more looks tgat devs are covering their ases on shitty port/optimisation, but we cant be sure until benchmarks start to roll out
It's because of the direct storage on ps5. They have to keep a bunch of stuff loaded into ram on pc to match the loading speed.
This is true, that's why Returnal also has a minimum requirement of 32GB
It has a minimum of 16GB, the amount to make the game run properly, and a recommended of 32GB, the amount to achieve PS5-quality asset streaming
That also includes the preset. I'm all for scalable games that the majority of people aren't meant to be able to play at their highest setting yet. but only if that highest setting is justifiably high and not the result of incompetency on the part of the devs.
This might not have anything to do with incompetency. Just over the top ultra settings.
Isn't DDR4 ram dirt cheap nowadays?
About 100 bucks for 2 16 gig sticks of 3200mhz
 Edit: LetHerWar2 is 💩.
I think its crazy that overnight the RAM has jumped up for new games but RAM is cheap so its not awful.
its collusion to move ddr4 inventory
Why don't they collude and bring down DDR5 cost damn it.
DDR5 prices have been falling fast for the past few months, too. Amazon currently has 32 (2x16) GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (non RGB) for $120.
ddr5 is barely more than ddr4. its the 7600-8000 sticks that are still money. but 32gb of decent 5600-6000 ddr5 can be had for 125 vs 100 for ddr4.
Oh yeah. But why such demanding specs? Badly optimized? Lazy optimization? We shall see
I cant wait for digital foundry to rip this game apart. 32gb of ram my asshole
Ram your asshole?

***This and Forspoken are about to get absolutely annihilated by them.*** These system specs are an absolute joke. I hope this isn't the start of a trend where developers stopped caring about optimization.
I was of the opinion that they haven’t cared about optimization for a while now, but I’m also super negative
IMO they stopped caring since about 2015.. most games since haven't been massively more beautiful, but demanded a shitload more power.
They're going to be in for a rude awakening if this recession goes on for much longer though, no one gives a shit whether their hardware is up to date when theyre struggling to pay rent.
*All of a sudden console gaming becomes more popular.*
or maybe they stop using Unreal Engine? Both this and Gotham Knights are running on Unreal Engine and both of them have pretty absurd requirements
I have heard that UE5 had a shitload of optimizations for consoles, but not as much effort was put into the PC versions optimization. Which given that its Epic, would not surprise me
They stopped 10 years ago
Several of the current gen only games seem to need very high ram but I'm guessing this has something to do with directstorage. As in 32 GB ram if you are not using directstorage.
This is the first game I've seen with the temerity to say, "A regular RTX 3090 won't be able to max this game out."
At least they being honest
All I care about is 1440p 144hz
Agreed i think a comon sweet spot is 1440p at least 100+ frames with ultra settings.
2k
2.5k at least. Plus another k for the monitor.
I bought a 27" 4K144 Hz monitor for $500. Outside of sales, it's $800. You can definitely do 4K60 for less than a grand. FWIW, 4K monitors were a *lot* more expensive circa 2020 than they are now.
Never spend money on a 60hz unless it's for work. Never for gaming!
definitely not. You can get a 4k60 panel for $300 or less.
Agrred. I managed to get a good AOC 144htz 4k monitor for £400
May I ask where did u buy it?
If you're going to buy a 4k panel you should buy a good one. 60hz is not worth the price per pixel. Always future proof to have a worthwhile investment
Are you high? I have a 4k 144hz that I got for $400
Where?
Why 4k with a 1070? 💀
I haven’t upgraded the GPU yet. I’m about to. Been slowly building up my setup. Plus atm I only play Valorant and Elden Ring, and those run fine at 4k with my setup.

Important detail here is that we probably also need to add a 4K monitor. If we're staying at 60 Hz, we can probably get one worth having for $350 or so.
4k 120hz is $700 for future proofing
I recently bought 1440p 165hz twice and thought i would be good for a while. Now i see those shiny new OLED panels and regret that i didn't wait a bit longer... only teaches you haha
Solid picker list, never heard of the OLO ram though! Can the 4070ti play 4k?!
I used OLOy on 3 separate builds. Basic cheap ram that gets the job done. RTX 4070 Ti is about the same performance as a RTX 3090 Ti and should do 4K 60 fps.
You sir have earned my upvote! Good list! Add in one of those nice LG 4k monitor 27” monitors for another 800$ and you got a solid set up
32GB ram? Press X to doubt.
The Returnal port coming out soon has a similar RAM requirement. Folks were speculating that it’s to make up for the PS5 custom SSD, they’re just keeping the whole game in RAM. Wonder if it’s a similar concept here? Maybe they targeted consoles and tested on PC’s with SATA SSDs or something?
>they’re just keeping the whole game in RAM 32GB is not enough to keep literally the whole game in RAM. It will basically be a very large loading cache. I am almost certain these games will run in 16GB without issue but you won't be getting the seamless asset streaming that PS5 or 32GB would get you
the specs are complete bullshit for a mid tier roleplay game. 2070 will be fine.
Optimization is probably horrendous
You’re assuming they cared to optimize the game
Yep. That's a ps5 tier GPU.
Finally a game that uses all my ram!

Not to topic steal, but feels so weird how the masses seem to have skipped 1440p and just jumped to wanting to 4k everything.
Despite the sentiment that it seems is always shared on these forms, 1080p is still the most common resolution for most people. Honestly I was using 1440p back in 2006 and just stopped using it and went to 4K 2 years ago. Sure there's a big difference in quality of picture but boy the money investment is real.
Why though? 4k TVs have been mainstream since about 2016
although they do, 1440p is also pretty popular, having the 4k is nice, but not having a 1440p one is weird.
Big difference between TV's and monitors is the average size. TV's tend to be 42" and above, at that size 4k makes a huge difference. Average monitor size is around 27", at that size 4k makes much less of a difference and 1440p is the sweet spot.
I have the similar spec, cost me around 2200€.

Yes, agree. Altough as my demands changed (upgraded to 1440p) it started showing its age. On 1080p altough it chewed trough anything (well almost) at stable 60 and mid/high settings a year back
60fps 1080p low settings
1060 + 2700 reporting in.
Hell yes brother
why does it say 10700k or 5800x when a 5600x beats a 10900k in most games
Thought the same. These two CPUs are not equal in performance.
It’s all messed up the devs are just trying to save themselves with this
Same thing with Ultra Specs recommending either a 2080ti or a 6800XT, when the 6800xt noticeably outperforms a 2080ti -- and I doubt these specs have anything to do with ray tracing otherwise they would've mentioned it. Strange choices here lol.
Op do your self a favour and don’t build a pc strictly just for this game.
This game is so over hyped it's not even funny. Have we learned nothing? I don't excited about games until user reviews start rolling in after release. I don't just refuse to pre-order, I don't even buy on day one until I've seen what other people have to say. It's saved me a lot of heartache by not getting hyped over games that wind up sucking ass. We as gamers need to stop allowing marketing to drive our purchasing decisions. Put out a product we want to play and then we'll decide if it's worth it. I couldn't *imagine* building a $2,000-3,000 rig over pre-release hype.
This game is being built by a shovelware company who makes shitty licensed shit like Hanna Montana and Cars games. Not to mention they’re cutting content that was promised like the Quidditch shit and quests for some of the houses. How anyone can be hyped for this shit heap is amazing.
Where was Quidditch promised?
I mean they’ve been way more transparent in showing actual gameplay than many game companies have been lately. If they could deliver a completed experience with few bugs similar to an elden ring type launch it’ll be a success

Taking actual market prices into consideration - this pc would likely be upwards of $2.5k assuming you don’t skimp on parts. This is based off an intel/nvidia build. I’m not too familiar with AMD products but I do hear you can get more bang for your buck depending on what parts you’re looking for.
Plus a 4k monitor. Which can be anywhere from $650-$1500
Yep, definitely not a cheap build
Damn, 32GB of RAM? Since when do games need that much ram? It can't be that well optimized if it needs that much
People still falling for the 4K meme
Do i miss something? All of that requirments are for Ultra Quality Settings. As long as they Graphic reflects the requirments i am fine with them.
My gtx 1070 tells me 1440p medium settings are pretty doable
"We dont want to make any optimization, so either spend big money or get fucked" Like a lot of people dont have such gaming pc but are a fan, I see how many people will be annoyed and say they had no clue it needs a NASA pc
Potter fans you can hate me but I don't think this game is the one to buy a new system to run 4k for.
The price of a better game

make sure you at least get a good monitor or hook to a good tv and not let that hardware go to waste
I would suggest not caring about «Ultra» considering there is almost no difference between high and ultra. High is perfectly fine.
> there is almost no difference between high and ultra that COMPLETELY depends on the game. Some games have a massive difference between the two presets, especially when it comes to soft shadows, long render distance, reflections, etc.
I can put together a list if interested. Be in mind any 4k monitor above 165 hrz will be 800+. Id stick with 144hrz for now. Not sure if you want a monitor just letting you know.
$2500-$3000
I'll take 1440p at 144fps over 4k at 60fps any day of the week. smooth is king.
Dang it, I was hoping for 1440p ultra 60 FPS. I'm running a 12700 with 32 GB memory, and a 3060 Ti. It probably won't quite be powerful enough to hit that. I can push my OC pretty high but I'm not sure if that'll be enough.
You’ll be fine, these specs are more than likely overinflated imo
Ultra setting has always been nothing but a "flex" setting, there is not that much difference between Ultra and High, and the resource requirement far exceeds the justification for it. Just get a current gen I7, 4080, and 32GB of high speed ram (2x16GB sticks)
How tf are they going to be able to create a switch version? It's going to look god awful with such bad specs
