0:45 EXACTLY!! Alot of persons are so quick scream unoptimized the moment they see big flagship GPUs in the spec requirements. But if you look properly you can clearly see the game will be scaling from a friggin 1650 all the way up to a 4090. Thats actually impressive imo. Just take some time to dial in your settings to the visual quality to performance you want. Surprisingly alot of PC gamers dont even bother to tune their graphics settings. Also alot of them genuinely expect their actually old GPUs to run newer games at high graphic settings on high fps. Thats just RIDICULOUS. Thats exactly what Cyberpunk 2077 is doing. The game came out 4 hears ago and is now on its 5th year (crazy i know) yet it can still kneecap an RTX 5090 when absolutely CRANKED. Because CDPR took the time to give the players a ton of graphical options to run on modest hardware all the way up to knee capping 5090s. This also gives the game a longer life span because when new GPU series releases, people will wonder how this games that's notorious for flagship GPUs cry will now run on this generation. The game is 4 years old and is still one of the best looking games. Some companies just like 'future proofing' their games. Imagine a single player game is still being talked about 4 years later.

Guys, I have an RX 7600 and I play games with Pathtracing enabled. Yes you can enjpy Pathtracing without ray reconstruction, and yes it works well with 8GBs of video memory. All you need to do is to render the game at 540p or lower through the use of FSR. It doesn't look bad at all and enables entry level cards to do raytracing. Now, this game doesn't have any sort of heavy raytracing, so you can probably render the game at 540p with frame gen enabled to be able to average 50 fps with everything maxed out. Upscaling is amazing!

Compared to what we've got recently with Indiana Jones, etc, this looks like it's decently optimized.

[@lanwish]

People are spoiled, since the Tesla architechture (and the Core 2 Quads), hardware were able to play games for many, many years. You bought some mid range card, and were able to play on high settings, in 1080p, for years. They expect the same, they want to see RX6700 able to play everything on high settings :D But the technology started to evolve again, after 15years of stagnation. The fact that a first gen i5 can still play new games (not everything, and on kinda low FPS) is a joke. Imagine Underground 2 being played on a 486, without 3D accelerator.

[@samgragas8467]

You usually don't need a guide to optimize the settings. Just run 1440p DLSS Quality/Balanced and high settings with ultra textures and ultra texture filtering (you have the VRAM). Or 1080p if you still didn't upgrade. Next step is DLSS Performance, then medium and finally low, but it will look bad.

[@ileapsy2071]

DLSS + Frame Gen gonna go brrr

[@backtoklondike]

And if going by how Nixxies usually do their specs, theirs usually is based without any upscalers in mind. So if it is the same here, the fact that you could maybe run the game on high settings with RT on without any upscaling on a 4070 or 7900 xt is a great sign. Sure high settings requiring a RX 6800 could raise some eyebrows given that the PS5 is sort of based on the 6700. But given it is still custom hardware and console optimization works a bit different then on PC, especially for first party games, even that I'm not that bothered by.

Hello fellow Is your PC ready? enjoyers.

[@ericimi]

Does this come out today ?

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

Reasonable PC requirements in 2025? Have we entered the twilight zone

[@brando3342]

Looks like they might be pulling an Nvidia, and not including the fact that these performance numbers are with DLSS and frame gen on 😒

[@DaVizzle_Bro]

I wonder if these FPS performance measurements are not including dlss and/or frame gen. Because if so that would be great cuz that would mean you could get much greater FPS by simply using dlss and or frame gen, if not, then this is really bad news because this means that not only is this the best case scenario already but it means that by default you would have to use dlss performance mode along with frame Jen just to get the Bare Bones basic FPS that you should already have.

[@JbbiLilona]

wait no way... i have an rx 580 and first of all... 30 fps on 720p.. on VERY low? whats the difference with graphics its the same engine and stuff... my pc can play all the spider man games when at max setting on 40-50 on 1080p. why would it be 30 at 720p very low?. any explain please im confused.

[@jerQCote]

wish we could have modular downloads for games based on the resolution we cap our games at. removing all the 4k assets for those who play at 1440p would help reduce the download size.

[@FernandoLins]

Noob question: If the very minimum is a 1650, shouldn't the medium performance be aimed at a 2060 or similar? I think it is quite a large jump to the 3060 for medium, even if its double the FPS.

[@sandipanmandal3830]

how will it run in my rtx 3060 6gb vram

This is what Peak Optimization look like!

Thanks Daniel

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE 3070 FINALLY BEING USED FOR A 1440P MONITOR AS INTENDED GOOD JOB SONY !!

[@That_Puppet]

Cant believe i just got a 4070 ti super and its already not enough to run frickin spiderman at max settings

[@greenstonegecko]

140GB SSD storage requirement. Almost double from last game. Is this still acceptable?

[@perkzy5146]

The game does have double the map size, not to mention like double the suit selection plus each suit has 3 variants, although the PS5 version is only 88gb but PS5 has great compression

[@sonesh4207]

Thats decent compared to god of war ragnarok which launched for 195GB

[@andersjjensen]

If you want large scalability, then yes. Personally I think games should switch to an "on-demand download" mode for assets. So when you install the game you just get enough assets to try the presets in a "training area" or something, and then once you decide on, say, Medium, the game will download the medium assets for the rest of the game.

[@andersjjensen]

@@perkzy5146 The PS5 has hardware compression AND it doesn't cover from Potato to Stupidly Expensive.

[@weeb_hunter]

When 2tb ssd are around 70 dollars? Yes lol. Literally the only none insulting spec on this sheet is the storage space required. We aren't even talking hard drives now, standard sata ssd storage has been insanely chaep for years

[@WT83]

Specs seem reasonable for, what at it's core is a PS4 game with RT reflections in it.

[@ViralC1]

i am glad that i seem able to run the game at medium. Hell I'll even turn down shadows or lighting FX if it means a steady 60fps

[@Soul-Demon-Y]

Finally a Game my Laptop can actually run on reccomeded settings

[@weeb_hunter]

Recommended in this case being 1080p 60 fps second to lowest graphic settings. If you are happy with this just buy a console for 1/5th of the price lol

[@Pasi123]

@weeb_hunter Can you use a console as a laptop? And can the consoles play all Steam and Epic Games games that people coming from a PC have already bought?

[@ngeorge9673]

@weeb_hunter Sure man. They should just buy a whole new console instead of using the laptop that they already have to play one game. No problems there!

[@Soul-Demon-Y]

@ It's always hilarious to see people wanting to influence and dictate how others live their lives and what do you have? can your device run it on the recommended settings?

[@Zer0Hour17]

Do we know if this is DLSS or not? Think that makes a big difference imo. I can still do 1440p high RT with my setup, but if this sheet isn't using DLSS I can either do that with a way higher fps or do max RT at 1440p. I wish Steam would make it mandatory to put whether upscaling is being used or not on the spec sheet.

[@sijiajayi2968]

I would guess they’re using dlss quality or dynamic res scaling. Dlss 4 transformer model comes out tomorrow though so you can get away with running lower dlss settings for better performance with the same visual quality as current dlss

[@brando3342]

@@sijiajayi2968 If they are using DLSS, and not saying so here, that is one of the scummiest things in gaming right now.

[@nirajnaik9304]

Is (1440p-DLSS BALANCED-HIGH SETTINGS) possible on an RTX 4060?

[@sonesh4207]

Definitely , 1440p balanced dlss is aroung 840p and 4060 is more than capable for that

[@Joshy_Poo]

@@nirajnaik9304 You could probably use DLSS 3 quality and get more than enough fps IF THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ACTUALLY ACCURATE. However, DLSS 4 is coming out tomorrow and DLSS 4 performance mode has equivalent quality to DLSS 3 quality mode and gets more fps, sooooooo yeah.

[@samgragas8467]

I like how they don't include 4k high requirements cause it is similar to 1440p native if you use upscaling.

[@2Burgers_1Pizza]

140GB storage?! I ain't never downloading that.

[@StaceyJensenn]

its strange, cause on steam for game requirements, its 90gb or similar

[@Jalex0021]

@@StaceyJensenn Just looked this up and it confirmed my suspicions. Game developers need to account for additional temporary files created during gameplay, potential updates, save files, and future patches, which can significantly increase the space needed on your drive beyond the initial game installation size.

[@Krenisphia]

There have many games that require over 100GB of storage for several years now. Where have you been?

[@farazmobin47]

i don't think there is path tracing, it doesn't look like it from the screenshots and trailers. the biggest heavy lifting in path tracing comes from global/sky illumination which also includes soft sky shadows, the stuff you see a lot in those cyberpunk2077 dream ultrarealistic mods with overcast weather

[@AndrewTSq]

A game made for the PS4 (Aka AMD 4770 Gpu from 2013) should run on everything these days :)

[@sanderbos]

This game was a PS5 only game. Maybe you wanted to say that that game was based on a PS4 game, but that is not really true either since you can fly in this one, and while flying the game world moves past you much faster.

[@AverageGreg]

1:15 - 1:25 but it also locks out the vast majority of gamers from seeing the best possible graphics in the game for a decade. I know its the reason I personally never play a new game.

[@Viking_Cookie]

True, but if it didn't push those settings you'd be locked out of seeing that experience until you bought a new GPU and they released a remaster, kind of like how if you wanted a better experience than the original Spider-Man on PS4 you had to buy a PS5 (or wait a bit and play on a PC) and buy the remaster - although I think it came with the deluxe edition of Miles Morales so not quite as egrigious as The Last of Us Part 1. I tend to agree though, I put off playing Cyberpunk until I had a 4070 Ti and I'm glad I did (nice card, could do with more VRAM, but only really caused me issues when modding Skyrim with 4-8k textures).

[@juan5h]

12900k or 7800x3D? They play in different leagues and put ultimate as a requirement......

[@andersjjensen]

In Spider-Man Remastered Intel performs unusually well, and the game scales unusually well with memory frequency (not latency). That said, if the 7800X3D is the first AMD CPU to break 60FPS with all the RT, and the 12900k is the first Intel CPU to break 60FPS, then they don't care that the 7800X3D is actually faster. It's just the minimum requirement.

[@AHOP-v9d]

THEY WILL PERFORM SAME IN 4K resolution with an RTX 4090 😂 Stop blindly believing in those " 720p " Benchmarks

[@juan5h]

@ Your answer falls short, because in the case that you also raise the 12700k or the 5800X3D

[@juan5h]

@@andersjjensen It's true but this is Spiderman 2 and it is optimized for the Ryzen processors of the PS5

[@andersjjensen]

@ Doesn't change the fact that the chart shows the first CPU's from either brand that A) Broke the requirement barrier, and B) They actually had on hand for testing. This is a minimum requirements chart. Not a statement about equality.

[@dividead100]

I would argue that maxing out absurdly powerful cards to not do that much visually is not optimized and if they did better there it would result in lower resource usage and retaining the same fidelity or improving fidelity and still maxing out the card. Either way, it would also look or perform better on lower tier hardware as a result.
