We are truly entering a time in gaming where it feels like optimizations are a thing of the past, and the specifications needed to run 007 First Light are nuts.

    So, requirements for 1080p/60 FPS are…

    i5 13500 / Ryzen 5 7600

    Nvidia 3060TI / AMD 6700XT

    12GB VRAM

    32GB RAM

    These people are delusional.

      They really think that if they just refuse to optimize and FORCE people to upgrade then no one will complain, even if the current reality is completely asinine. The specs for 1080p60 are literally my own computer’s specs (I have a Ryzen 7 5800X which is pretty comparable to the 7600). And building a computer brand new exactly like mine would cost you at least 2000 dollars today, it is just not a realistic scenario for the average joe. And I built this computer mostly with used parts. Most people are NOT tech savvy enough to do so without getting scammed.

      I hope this game flops. People really had the hope that with the current RAM/SSD crisis gaming companies would try to optimize their games. Turns out they just want people to go fuck themselves, because how dare you not pay your entire monthly salary to buy yourself more RAM or a brand new GPU from the Great Green Overlord.

        Dont forget this game has been in development for a lot longer than the RAM/SSD price increases have been forseeable - from the perspective of their development cycle the ram upgrade would have been a pretty low cost upgrade.

        There are plenty of games that look great and run smoothly on game consoles. Xbox Series X does well for a system with only 2gb of system ram and 12gb gpu ram. Why bother with pc at this point. Sadly console prices are going to stay the same or go up but it’s not PC level increases.

          Bro what the hell do you think consoles run on, black magic? They need RAM and SSDs too 😭😭 Also the console memory is entirely shared, there’s no separate RAM and VRAM. Because of that you need a good amount of it and it’s not gonna get any less expensive any time soon.

    32 gb of RAM needed. When literally no one can upgrade, so the only people who’ll be able to play it are people who got that amount of RAM before the whole thing.

    It’ll release on Xbox Series S though with only 2gb of system ram and 8gb (i think) of gpu ram. On Series X it’s not much better but it’ll run at 30 fps.

    Halo Infinite and DOOM Eternal run at 60 fps on console so I think that minimum spec is just speculation.
