[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

For better read. So for 1080p (540p internal resolution) 60fps on medium you need a 3070 lol.

 

[OverHeat]

Ray tracing high here I come.

 

[Senua]

This game is gonna be a beast

 

[willothedog]

Ray tracing ultra here I come

 

[Represent.]

GOTY incoming.

When the hell are reviews up

 

[Luipadre]

Nextgen is here. Hopefully PS5 version runs great

 

[Kurotri]

I should be able to run this, however as a casual I really don't know if this looks optimizied or not lol.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Hopefully it’ll be a looker.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Wow, can't wait to get an expensive PC just to watch cutscenes!

 

[Sentenza]

This has to be the type of game that just ResetEra seems to get hyped about and that ends up selling 300K in the first month.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

This one I will experience on PS5, in a year or two I might play it with all the bells and whistles.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Or you can rent a PC in the cloud via GFN. One of their tiers offer customers RTX 4080 capable PCs.

Lol no, there's plenty on GAF as well who are hyped about AW2, me included.

 

[rofif]

Would get ps5 copy if it was 480p over installing epic store.
no physical though... but I am considering psn

 

[SolidQ]

So for 1080p 60fps on medium you need a 3070 lol.

it's for 960x540p 60 fps you need 6700xt/3070

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

it's for 960x540p 60 fps you need 6700xt/3070

You're right. Missed the part where it said those requirements are for 1080p while using DLSS perf mode. This game is going to melt PCs.

 

[Mithos]

CTRL-F "1080p High/Ultra"

 

[GHG]

Any word on if this will have DLSS frame generation?

 

[Luipadre]

Cod sells millions and its a shit game id rather buy a game like this

 

[Isa]

Can't wait. I'll be there at 9pm.

 

[Arsic]

Since I have a 3080 with a 4k monitor I am boned.

Likely go ps5 or GeForce ultimate now instead.

 

[balls of snow]

Cant wait. Replaying the first game next week to prep.

 

[Senua]

Stick to your popcorn games m8

 

[T-Cake]

Yay, 720p30 here I come!

3080 is exactly 4070 fast... just 10gb of vram.... ruins it

 

[StueyDuck]

Northlight engine has always been a hog on hardware so I'm not so shocked, hopefully the performance and quality is there

 

[analog_future]

Definitely some hefty requirements.

 

[demented waffle]

I thought I was tripping when I saw the 1440/1080P requirements. Then I saw the DLSS/FSR part.

Edit: saw,not was. Ooops


Double edit: Wait, I am tripping. Why does it say 1080P for a 3070 on dlss performance and a 3060 for 1440p on balanced. The vram is the same. Am I reading this wrong?

Triple Edit: missed the fps part.

 

[SolidQ]

Seems we gonna back to glorius 640x480

 

[OverHeat]

Ray tracing ultra here I come

You just invented a setting

 

[amigastar]

Nextgen is here. Hopefully PS5 version runs great

Hell yeah, i hope it looks next gen. Game is gonna be great i'm sure.

 

[Denton]

Very curious about the console resolution in performance mode. Probably gonna be 540p upscaled to 1080p like those medium requirements here.

 

[SlimySnake]

Before people get triggered by the specs. THis is a good thing. Its ok to upgrade your PC once every few years. thats kind of the point.

Ya, but I think they got the 1080p and 1440p confused. lol

Edit: nvm, missed the fps part. duh /facepalm.

 

[Kikorin]

PC masters can tell me if I'll can play it reasonably well (1080p/medium or low at 30fps) with a GTX 1080?

 

[ChiefDada]

I'm surprised by the low cpu req across the board. I'll probably wait for PS5 Pro to experience PT, depending on reviews.

 

[VeganElduderino]

my 4070ti is ready

1440/30

1080/60

i guess yeah

 

[demented waffle]

Not a PC master, but a 3060 is roughly 20%faster than a 1080. The recommended specs for 1440P are a 3060, so I say ya. Assuming(making an ass out of you and me) the specs are good.

 

[rofif]

What's up with the boomers religiously 1080ing in here?
It's not 2006 anymore, wake up lol. Do You play on 23" screens ?

 

[Senua]

Most likely monitor users with higher refresh rates

Fucking lol

You mean ray tracing? Path tracing? don't see it unless it's at a very low resolution.

 

[amigastar]

Yep, on an Eizo 22 inch monitor at 1080p with an RTX 4070. And looking at the recommended specs it's enough.

 

[Skifi28]

My 4070 became a 1080p card quite fast, not bad.

 

[OverHeat]

Same for 30 fps…

 

[demented waffle]

For path tracing? It's about right. I get around 40fps on cyberpunk 2077 @1440p with that.

 

[Crayon]

Having the upscaling on the chart makes it confusing. Glad to see requirments going up to a reasonable spec, though.

 

[rofif]

no. not at all
