Minimum 8GB ram? Recommended 16GB?
Wow shits getting real. Glad I ended up going with 16GB for my current build.

Would not matter much what brand it is, make sure it has the same latency and speed.

Sorry, I meant to say 'in the future'. It's the weakest link in my set-up. I'm worried it won't do a year down the line for newer releases. It's still sufficient though, certainly.
Yes built myself, but I live in Norway so prices are higher :-(

It's a Dice game. Even BF4 recovered from its shit launch. Chill, you'll be fine.
16GB ain't shit. Amazing boon for productivity, totally worth the upgrade.

Does my i5 3570k 3.4 GHz meet the recommended?

By the letter of their statement, probably not. In reality, yes you'll be fine.
I see that the unwarranted handwringing by the owners of sandy/ivy bridge i5's lives on.

It's literally the first game I know that asks for 16GB of RAM. If you own a gaming PC for gaming and don't render stuff on the side until now 8GB have been perfectly fine for any game (that I know of) on the highest settings.

It was for COD Advanced Warfare. It also limited me in some other game, but dont remember which. I've been on 8GB for many years and for last year or so, it started to be just enough to get by.
Its cheap btw, just buy more.

Just played a couple of games in the beta with everything set to ultra, was getting around 80-90 fps, with the occasional dip into the 60s. Very happy with that performance.
2500k @ 4.3
8gb RAM
780ti @ stock

A bunch of games run better on W10 due to more efficient memory management including VRAM.
I've been sitting at 8GB of ram for years.....I'll just knock a few settings down and playing at 60fps.
Everyone here sounding like they MUSSSTTTT play at absolute maximum. If you get even near the recommended specs the game will look and run better than on the console.....not sure why everyone freaks out about it.
Now when you start getting close to minimum specs in CPU+GPU....yes, its time to upgrade.

Sometimes betas don't have all the textures. Is this beta fully featured?

Blame intel for not pushing out worthwhile upgrades in recent years. Or blame AMD for not forcing them to.
I'm okay with it; don't mind riding my 2550k for a few more years.

Why would Win10 be recommended and Win7 required?
You need at least Win7 to run the game, but because Win10 handles multithreading better it is recommended as system of choice.
Additionally game will receive DX12 patch in the future, which will only work on Win10.
Has it been confirmed the game would at some point have support for DX12 ?
I'm pretty sure i read it in one of the Siggraph's DICE presentation about Frostbite 3 getting DX12 support in next year and Battlefront getting a patch, but i'm not 100% certain.
They did it with Mantle and they will support Battlefront for years with DLCs, so it would be logical.

Great I meet everything except for the ram, GTX 970, i7 4790k but 8gb of ram
the Beta will tell me if I need to upgrade my ram or not for the final game.

Cool, these are almost my same specs. Sounds like a slightly more demanding version of Frostbite, hope the visuals match the demand.
Game will probably run fine with 4 GB.
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Especially for a multi-platform game.
I haven't been able to find anything about DX12 in Frostbite games, even though it has been confirmed DX12 support has been added to the engine but no words on whether or not Battlefront will be the first FB3 games to have dx12 support.

Having played the beta for the better part of 3 hours I think those recommended specs are a little overblown. I was getting a solid 60 @ 1080p with everything on Ultra and then also getting 40-60 @ 1440p with the same settings, solid 60 by turning a few things down to high. 970/2600K/8gb.
I meant 'i'm not 100% certain'
That's all I have :
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/47507/dice-teases-frostbite-engine-already-supports-directx-12/index.html
The news is coming directly from Technial Director Stefan Boberg on Twitter, where '@CentroXer' asked "when is DX12 going to be part of frosbite?" with Boberg replying that "it already is, no word on which game will be first though

I really need to upgrade at some point...
Ahh that sucks, here in the US with some smartish shopping got mine that meets all the required specs minus 8 gb of RAM for around $1000.
Tempted to get this game mostly for the graphics if the other maps are as beautiful as I hope.
I doubt a i5-2500k, 4GB 670 and 8GB can do max settings at 1440p and 60FPS consistently!

Cool. This will fair well for me since I meet the recommended requirements for RAM and GPU, but exceed with my Intel i7 4790K for CPU. This makes me happy.

All that ram means dog fights from planet to space for that smooth transition right?

Shit...My CPU is i5-4690K...Ughhhhh
You're fine. More than fine. Your proc is faster than the one listed in the "recommended" section.

My PC just about scrapes by, 4670K @ 4Ghz, 16GB DDR3-2400 and a GTX 970 SC.
We'll see how the beta goes!
