Square Enix has revealed the official PC system requirements for DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i3-2105 or an AMD A10-5800K with 8GB of RAM, 32GB of free hard-disk space and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 470 in order to play the game at 720p with 30fps.
In order to play the game at 1080p and with 60fps, Square Enix recommends an Intel Core i5-6600 or an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX Vega 56.

Sounds about right TBH. Most modern games that run at 1080/30 (medium/high settings equivalent) on console normally need around a 970/980/1060 level card to achieve 1080/60 (High/Ultra).
The real issue here is that the 750 Ti, which is normally considered on par with the base PS4 is running the game at 720p, rather than the base PS4’s 900p. My guess is it just doesn’t have the VRAM to cope.
Vega 56 is such a much higher tier GPU than a 1060 GTX…
Ah, I see what you’re saying now! Yeah, it most certainly is. Sometimes we so inflated specs because the publisher simply lists what was on hand to test with (and you’d think acquiring a 5xx card would be easier than a Vega one). Kind of baffling now that you’ve pointed it out to me :S
Pretty much they should change it to at least a RX 480 or RX 580
Also I enjoyed my 750 Ti when I had it. But a RX 470 blows it out of the water XD
I hover around on other sites, but leave my commenting mostly for Gematsu.
Nice seeing you around, too. Been playing anything interesting recently?
im sure someone will get the 750 ti to play the game at 1080p 30fps.
It was on the JP version. I have heard suggestions this was enhanced for the western version, but I can’t confirm. Will have to wait for someone to do a tech analysis.
I will pre order ANY game using denuvo so that pathetic pirates on this site get butthurt.
I don’t even like this type of game and in fact i hate it but because it uses denuvo i’m going to pre order it.
Denuvo = giving the finger to PC gamers. If this game is even worth it, it will be on PS4 for me.
So you’re angry at them for using cancerous DRM but then go and buy a DRM Box (console)!?
Get your sh*t together, man…
Denuvo wouldn’t be a problem if it work without being a pain. On console it doesn’t break the games like on PC. Hell Steam is DRM and it doesn’t bring that much pain
Why would someone complain about Denuvo only to argue for a PS4?
A PS4 is even worse than Denuvo, at least with a PC you get these games future proofed by cracking a copy.
You can use cracks to get rid of Denuvo on legit Steam games? If so, then I have a few Steam games I’d definitely like to fix. I’m guessing you just apply the crack normally?
I don’t do pirate. Not with our countries internet company in cahoots with law firms. They are some vicious ones.

A little worried over here. I preordered because GMG was selling it at virtually half Steam’s price but I’m on an old i3 and an R9 380 4 gb. Oh, well, at least I play on just 900p. will probably squeeze a stable 30 fps out of that, no matter how bad the port is.
Denuvo?
You may as well make this synonymous. SquareEnix – Denuvo. Just pretend Denuvo is publishing their games, you’ll never go wrong.
In any case, it’s DQ 11. If anyone thinks crackers aren’t salivating, waiting to be the first to bust this one open, well, you’re wrong.
I just wait for complete edition or something..no need to hurry..
Yep. I waited out nu DOOM 2016, until Bugthesda cured it of its Denuvo STD.
I’ll wait on all the others as well. Who knows, maybe I’ll dip a toe into Linux Gaming to try and play a non-infected version of the game (if available)>
That never happens… even games like monster hunter still run better on pc.
Well reviews on steam seems to disagree
I just think people love 60 fps very much
