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.

    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 😂

    Wonder what steam deck support will look like.

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

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

    Actually, despite all the negatives I've heard about the 4060 and 4060 Ti, I was looking into it recently and unless I'm mistaken they actually seem to have lower TDP compared to their 30X0 counterparts, while still offering slightly better performance.

    I think it's a shame that that's been drowned out by the negatives; few people ever mention TDP, but I think lowering the TDP while still having better performance is a noteworthy thing that should be mentioned more.

    EDIT: Went to look for some numbers and, according to NVIDIA, the TDP of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti is 115W and 160W respectively, whereas the numbers I found for the GTX 1060's TDP are 120W.

    Ssd required? Does it use direct storage?

    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

    Both drive types are physical devices that a person can hold in their hand; you must have meant another word. Platter, maybe? Unless... something has changed drastically and I'm out of the loop. Are the youngsters downloading both RAM and storage drives now?
