i5-2500k as the minimum specs?! I remember the times when my CPU was good enough for almost everything. 2011 seems so far......time flies.....

So, we have Great Optimised Title -> Read AMD Game Evolved 🙂 Also notice in Ubi R6 Siedge have only: HBAO+ and TAA (Physics is from HavoK) Uff, will be Great Optimised also !

So the day the game gets announced as an nVidia "Gameworks" Title, is the same day they release the "NEW" requirements which are much beefier in comparison to what they were... Well there goes another game I am not buying anymore.

Don't think too much of it - the GPUs they're expecting a lot out of GPUs too. Seems they're expecting a pretty beefy system. @TOOOSKI Yes.... it is too much. Just because you can run it that doesn't mean everyone else can. JC2's specs were pretty reasonable for its time.

Avalanche did a phenomenal job with optimizations and porting with Mad Max so I trust them to bring home the goods here ... Really need to upgrade this old 670 though, don't like the look of it being on the minimum recommended section.

Just cause 2 at release ran like a pig even with a good config and years after it still did if you tried to max all settings, it was one of the 1st games to use ssao and that realistic water thing, from nvidia ? if I remember correctly Having experienced that, I will "wait and see" (before recommending it to my friends..if it doesn't run on a gt980 sli :banana:)

Games release with "subpar" graphics and some elitist gamers get upset. Games release with elitist requirements and other people feel shafted. Playable depends upon what you're willing to sacrifice. I was stuck using a C2D e8400/gtx260 for 5 years until January 2014. I know those high requirement woes. Year 4 and 5 were brutal. PC tech (especially gaming gear) has to be some of the worst investments there are (maybe 2nd to high end cell phones). The diminishing returns and ultimate worthlessness of it all is astounding. It's fun though. 🤓
