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?

[–] prof@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago (2 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 😂

[–] UsualMap@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

It does make me wonder what awful things they're getting that poor creation engine to do.

To be fair I remember Fallout 3 being a bit of a nightmare to play at launch too.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] alehel@beehaw.org 5 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.

[–] HrBingR@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cries in GTX 1060

[–] dewritoninja@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

as an rx 580 user, i feel you

[–] HrBingR@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Terrible_Humbaba@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the info, I never checked the specs of the newest gens due to the outragous price. Maybe I'll find a cheap one in a few months

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Welp, I'm out.

[–] noob_dragon@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] HiT3k@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] dtlnx@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wonder what steam deck support will look like.

[–] Saauan@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I simply think they won't care much about it, as it seems from the requirements :/

[–] UsualMap@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Based on the recommended specs, it likely won't run, at least not without some serious compromises.

[–] noob_dragon@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Probably have to install separate mods to give it PS2 graphics to even get it to work at 20fps lol.

[–] away2thestars@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No Linux?

[–] Gobidev@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

It will probably work with proton

[–] dewritoninja@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ssd required? Does it use direct storage?

[–] Jitterydork@lemmy.world 3 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

[–] tiwenty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that need Windows 11?

[–] EnigmaNL@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

DirectStorage is supported by Windows 10 and 11.

[–] Guppy@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mishmashley@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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.

[–] Official_Cake@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DisparateDan@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] away2thestars@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Won't they release it Linux natively compatible?
