12GB of RAM? That seems a bit excessive.
My rig is more than enough, but it's still a little surprising to hear.

Fuck, hope my audio device is Windows compatible.

Lol at gaf members who did not believe the min 12gb ram requirement in the other thread. Yep, it's an open world game. Hopefully the lod rendering is not just a few feet in front of us as is the case with most japanese games.

. . . they really aren't. At least not for a massive open world game with (hopefully) little to no loading and excellent draw distances.
And almost surely weaker machines will be able to run it.

It's so close.
Surprised to see some people's reactions claiming it's high or excessive. I thought it looks fitting.

Which part? The minimum GPU spec is the most commonly used GPU by Steam users and it came out nearly 6 years ago. Same goes for 16gb RAM. Frankly I have no idea what people are doing if they're playing 2022 games on PC with less than 16gb.

Those specs don't look very high.

I just checked, and my ears are not Windows compatible.

Imagine recommending a r5 3600x for 60fps in a game that runs on potato jaguar CPUs at 30fps.

It's a really weird minimum requirement
1060 minimum
1070 recommended
Minimum spec is nearly the same as RDR2's recommended. WTF
It's way above a PS4 base, so what to make of this? Either badly optimized on PC or consoles will run like dog shit?

When did PS4 base console come out again?
If games are made for that console still in 2022, as is Elden ring, minimum specs should be similar.
Let's see some PS4 games that are seen as visual stunners on PC min specs, shall we?
God of War:
Intel 2500k
8GB of ram
GTX 960 4GB
Death Stranding:
Intel 3470
8GB of ram
GTX 1050
Horizon zero dawn:
Intel 2500k
8GB of ram
GTX 780
RDR2:
Intel 2500k
8GB of ram
GTX 770
Now tell me who buys a kit of 3x4 GB for system memory?
These guys are high

What am I missing? Ryzen 5 and a 10-serie Nvidia graphics card seems low to me
Same, not sure why people in here are saying these specs are too high.
Given this game is open world i would have expected recs to be at least RTX 2000 series cards

You know minimum never literally means minimum, right? If you try and run Elden Ring below these specs, it's still gonna run. This is just what From suggest as the minimum you attempt, Rockstar's suggestion is going to be different as will other devs.

Seems awfully low for recommend specs. Wonder what the settings target is for recommend.

I think you are focusing on the wrong aspect. Look at RAM and VRAM requirements. They are pushing a lot of higher resolution textures - that is the exact area where consoles have a strength compare to alot of PC rigs. The TFLOPs of the old generation consoles will of course limit the FPS.
I'll never understand why folks use the year a game comes out or the year HW was released as the criteria to judge if specs are appropiate or not. That means if someone were to port the original version of Tetris to PC in 2033 it would be ok for it to require 32GB RAM as a minimum? After all "who does not have 32GB of RAM on his PC in 2033"
for everyone's references these are the specs for the most advanced game on the market: Flight Simulator. A next gen only game.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
That's quite high compared to other titles on the series which ran on the same consoles at the time.
Kinda weird... my guess is that the open world nature of the game has made optimizing the engine harder than with previous games. I don't think it'll run bad tho, and as other said PC requirements are more of a suggestion than anything else. I'm sure anyone with a 1060 6Gb will be able to play at 1080p60fps, with some settings turned down.

From Software literally have 2 pc configurations in their whole studio.

Base PS4 is 8GB total shared memory. There's no way RDR2 would not take the crown in memory assets over what we've seen of Elden ring. Look, i think it looks super great, my 3080 Ti won't even break a sweat, but the minimum requirement, knowing that this thing has to run on base PS4 and not get a fiasco Ala Cyberpunk 2077, doesn't make sense.
Either:
1) Badly optimized on PC or low settings don't go as low as consoles
2)Base PS4 is gonna run like dog shit
3)These guys don't know what the fuck they are doing for specs recommendations (would not be the first it happens). Or as someone said, it's the only available setups they have to test on for PC
Somehow lost the config they used for Sekiro.

what has to be said tho is that CPU requirements rarely make any sense, so we can mostly ignore those.
the real kicker is the ram.. that shit makes zero sense... how the hell can it run on a 3GB card but needs fucking 12GB of system memory? like wtf?
I also hate it when these specs don't actually tell you what you can expect from the performance.
is minimum 1080p30? 1080p60? is recommended 1440p60??? who knows lol
How the hell do you even get 12gb of ram?? 3x4gb sticks? That's the most retarded config ever.
For all the computer "geniuses" here, the reason 3 sticks are retarded is NONE OF THEM will run in DUAL CHANNEL MODE crippling performance.
Edit: it's hilarious how many people don't understand simple computer things here.

I think it's more the VRAM difference than raw tflops difference.It's a really weird minimum requirement
1060 minimum
1070 recommended

Is it going to have a 60 fps cap like other From games?

I love FROM but are you guys really comparing them to rockstar? Obviously RDR2 has better optimization. This is FROM's first open world game and you guys are comparing it to the studio who is the pinnacle of open world games lmao.
Its obvious the game is badly optimized if these specs are true.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if the CPU + RAM requirements are factoring in the eventual ray tracing patch. BVH structures required for ray tracing will add some overhead.
I'm obviously taking shots in the dark here.

You guys don't understand. I shall explain:
Miyazaki is setting high minimum PC requirements because he is doing everyone a favor. You see, only someone of very high IQ can experience, conquer, and enjoy the harsh worlds that Miyazaki creates, like me (97 IQ). Everyone knows that high IQ = large income. I am a prime example of this ($1000 a month). So it only makes sense that the only people that can truly partake in the Miyazaki experience have high end PCs, such as myself (GTX 1060 with 12GB RAM). Now if you will excuse me, I have to light some new incense at my Miyazaki shrine. It is part of my morning ritual.
Miyazaki. Never. Misses.

Oddly enough in my build from way back with my Asus P6T motherboard that had 6 slots I was running 12gb (6x2)

Elden Ring is a new game though, not a port of an ancient game. I don't see why people are surprised that a 2022 game needs an i5 + 1060, isn't that 5+ year old parts?
