Anyone seen the recommended specs? :crying:

Those are tom's hardware system requirements and they're bs. You do not code a game so it won't run properly on the majority of PCs and consoles, it would be madness. The vast majority of people out there have low to midrange systems and you want their money so don't exclude them. Less than 1% of people will meet tom's specs.

So if you have a 4 core CPU & something like a rx570/gtx1060 you should be able to run the game just fine I suspect, it wont run well at uber settings with raytracing & all that jazz but it will still look good and play well.

It like they are expecting everyone to run 4K with DLSS.

Ja they're full of crap, plenty a noob just gave up on buying the game after reading that. It's harmful to speculate like that.

Just look at poor ol' Prawnapple here, his heart sank into his boots and he started crying... :p
 
I have a 980 GTX Strix that I got for a bargain while in Japan. The card has been amazing for something close to 6 years - still plays every game well. If cyberpunk doesn't jam I think it's the universe telling me it's time :whistling:

Well, I can already see my 4 cores struggling playing RDR 2 when there are lots of NPC's like in Saint Denis.
Far off people won't have proper animation for example and will move with their legs frame skipping. The wheels on far off carts wont turn and stuff like that. It's minor and most of the time I don't notice, but RDR 2 cities aren't even that heavily populated.

With how heavily populated Night City is, 4 cores may be a stretch.

Depends on the implementation. Serious Sam was considered heavily populated yet it ran on a potato at the time.

Different game engines. 4 cores with witcher 3 in novigrad (lots of npcs) is not an issue. We'll have to wait and see.

One can always play with the game setting so the gpu works harder giving the cpu some breathing room. Gta v for example i play at 1620p (DSR) which lets the cpu idle along.

More cores won't hurt and would be ideal though.
 
I would say 4 cores / 8 threads for minimum requirements, but it doesn't mean it will be insufficient. 6 cores and up will be optimal for recommended. A lot has improved on the GPU front for utilisation. 4th Generation Intel users should be okay. We will know soon.

Okes, remember this game was built for PS4 and XBone. You gonna be just fine without ray tracing.

I can't help but wonder if they're going to go the same route as RDR 2. Apparently RDR2 is being "remade" for PS5 and the next Xbox console.

It's not the ray tracing that's bothersome as that's just a gimmick. For the people saying they won't exclude a big portion of the market, that's what happened with Crysis. And while Tom's are "recommended" specs, and BS ones at that, the minimum specs are likely to be above average. Anything below a RX480 and 6-core will probably be a bad experience if not unplayable. Integrated graphics will most likely be unplayable.

Ok but remember it must also be able to run on PS4 and XBone and it must be able to hit stable frame rates on those consoles. So the minimum specs must logically be similar to the minimum specs of most recent games that have launched in the last year or so. If you can run those ok, then you can run this ok.
 
I think best case scenario for quad core CPU's will be running the game capped at 30fps.
 
The minimum requirements that I speculate and this is to game at 1080p,

4 cores / 8 threads (Base 3.4GHz ?)
8GB RAM
GTX 1060 / RX 580/570 (min 4GB RAM)

any more than this will produce decent FPS. I watched the previews and the game doesn't really that demanding. The open-world outside Night City had me think about Mad Max (the game).

Then again, Borderland 3 doesn't look very demanding, but it is quite heavy.
 
See, the Badlands doesn't look as intensive with all of the reflections and lighting removed as observed from gameplay in Night City,


and also note the draw distance. I guess this game will require a PS5 SSD :p
 
Okay, ignoring RTX and whatever special graphics is planned for this game in anticipation of the PS5 and XBSX I think the requirements will be same as the requirements for Doom Eternal which also has an additional high-end recommendation.

You're forgetting something, games are tweaked for consoles and there's also only one set of hardware to design for. You won't get far running the same pc game on the console hardware.

There is a big difference between running a game and being able to have a decent playing experience.
I had a pretty poor PC when Witcher 3 came out.
I mean, I could 'run' it, but play it? Only if you enjoy washed out textures, almost no npc's and frameskip stutter as the game skips between 30 and 40 fps.
Fighting monsters was a nightmare and there was just no way to enjoy it like that.

So, am I worried that my PC can run Cyberpunk? Not at all. I guarentee I will be able to run it.
Will it be playable?
That is the concern.
