Quite a large base line there. Lots of folks should be able to play this.

I7-920? I love that ol' thing. Fuckin' trooper.
oh dang, i hadn't realized they were using Cry Engine. neat.
Oh shit yeah, I forgot about that from the alpha. If I'm ever considering buying this game, the 60hz cap would definitely work against it for me.
I played at max settings all through the alpha at a locked 60fps. Game seems pretty ready to go performance wise other than the matchmaking issues in the second alpha.
I would not recommend playing this on minimum spec CPUs.

In worst case scenario should be available through the command line.
I'm just happy they specified the actual i7. Too often its just a generic "i7" listing which means nothing given the range available now.
The advantage of a I7 for gaming is not extraordinarily significant for now, but it still provides some non neglectible boosts.

Are we still in 2010 or what?

Yep; more of the industry should be targeting this; however I really dislike the ever growing file sizes.

No SLI? Get your act together! At least it should run well on a good mid range machine.
Because those are first that are honest
Although i think that two cores CPUs will bottleneck a lot in CE 3.5, so i think they went to low with those. Something other with at least 3 threads and preferably 4 threads would be more accurate.
Yeah, it ran great on the setup I had at the time. GTX 660, 8GB RAM, i5-4670K.
Looking forward to the full release.

Can someone seriously explain to me why a seemingly huge game like Dragon Age Inquisition only takes up less than 30gigs but a FPS with way less graphical assets (not to mention almost devote of dialog) like Evolve takes 50gigs?
Bizarre. I'm running a 780 & 3770k and it never dropped below 60. I know there's a little bit between our systems, but not so much that you should be dropping into single digits...
Evolve is nothing spectacular graphically, and with no real AI & just a handful of players to track, I'm not surprised at the system requirements.

Alpha ran like shit on my rig, for some reason, so hopefully they worked on it since then.
I do think it's funny that people freak the fuck out for no reason whenever they see 'i7' in a system requirements thread, but I figured this one would be safe considering that processor is ancient.
AI is any game i know is cheaper than CryEngine 3.5 vegetation physics tech.
Well, I'm just glad it was happening during the alpha instead of the actual release. I wasn't too worried about it, since it was so extreme. I don't expect to have a slideshow once the game is actually released. My hardware is a bit old, but it's not that old.
Is there going to be a beta for those that have already purchased the game?
I'd rather developpers target much higher specs than this and downscale for lower end machines.
You get terrible performance.
Yesterday I had my 3 GPUs active and was getting 16fps in Mordor @ 2560x1440. Disabled SLI and I was getting 55-60.

Yes. A closed beta for people in the Alpha will run from the 16 to 19 for PC. Codes should be sent soon.
Awesome. Can't wait to give it another shot.

I hope I Can get it to work this time. I gave away my pc code to a friend and thought I could play on the ps4 but we all now how that turned out.

SLi needs to be a standard. These days, the cost to performance ratio almost always swings the way of SLI rather than single cards.
Hopefully the guys at Nvidia can one day work some magic to make SLI less of an issue on the software side of things.

Kind of semi-off topic, but it's something that has bugged me for 20+ years. I really wish that there was a standard to these "minimum" and "recommended" requirements.
Like minimum would = running the game at 30fps at an industry standard resolution with the lowest settings available to said game. "Recommended" meaning running the game at 60fps medium settings (settings to be determined by the developer per title).

Tried the beta, don't believe their lies
Really? My overall impression from talking to friends and reading GAF was that it was really stuttery, even with texture quality dropped to Medium. Not sure I'd trust the 2GB recommendation.

a 280 is much more powerful than a gtx 760.
NVIDIA can't do shit about improving AFR SLI support in games. From the creator's perspective the number of customers with multiple GPUs is so tiny and computer game projects are almost always time/resource constrained. SLI support is often an afterthought.
A NVIDIA employee has said on this forum that if there's no SLI profile at game launch, it's not from lack of trying. I take that to mean that in some cases adding AFR SLI support is non-trivial and can require significant resource from the developers. Some games will be engineered in a way that just makes the feature infeasible to implement.
Our best bet for proper mGPU support in games, is for the API to have constructs specifically for it. Microsoft have stated that mGPU support will be a feature of DirectX12 (and therefore hopefully DirectX 11.3). Nothing has been shown publicly on this, but fingers crossed. GDC this year should be really interesting.
