i wonder 1080p 60 on ultra, possibly a 1080?
Just a guess but I think a 1070 would handle that. It’s a good bit faster than a 1060 6 GB.
btw it’s good to see that EA distinguished between the 1060 3 GB and the 1060 6 GB. Some Nvidia created confusion with the 1060’s. The 6 GB version not only has double the VRAM of the 3 GB version but it also has 11% more cores.
So….
GTX 750ti and 8150 for 720p 30FPS.
Guess console version will run at 720p 15 FPS then. Yeah yeah, I know coding to the metal pixie dust and all that, but I call these pc specs bullshit.
Take recommended specs for instance: 2.25 times the pixel count and twice the framerate. But also you have to factor in high settings into account. So you would need a GPU at least 5 times more powerful than the 750ti to get that performance. Instead they recommend a GTX 1060 which is not.
Regarding the CPU, just the slight clockspeed bump and little IPC gain from Bulldozer to Piledriver is enough for 60 FPS?
2017 and devs still can’t post reasonable specs for their games.

What’s going on here, I wonder? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8795a3cd5ac4108071d591a8bfc9ef0b84a185a4fc32316dadcf2b2980695e84.png
Kids think it’s funny to copy other peoples posts or it’s bots. It’s been going on since I’ve been here but first time they copied me. This site needs more moderators imo. Not complaining, just an observation.
