Just remember to account for the FSR/DLSS frame gain first though. Going from 30 to 50 with FSR 3.1 and then another 10 with Frame gen wont really matter. If you need FSR to get 30 to then frame gen 60 that's .... bad. Better to reduce qualities instead.

You wouldn't need frame gen if Nvidia sold you more sufficient spec'd GPUs for the money, but Nvidia has been pushing upscaling and frame generation so they can sell you the bare minimum hardware that they can get away with thus their GPUs age like milk and AMD are just as happy to follow a long cause they can't compete, do you see how it works now?

[@Arius_Astronomy]

Like I said before we may have another DD2 situation for the PC on launch. This game uses the RE engine which was used for RE8 and DD2. Both of these games struggled with their PC port at launch. You are going to need a 4060 or 2070 super to get 60fps at 1080- with Frame Generation on for the MEDIUM SETTINGS. This means most people who can already barely afford a new gaming PC due to today's market will have to use the lowest possible settings in order to run it. In addition, they are using Frame Generation to get to 60fps. THIS IS THE RED FLAG. You should not need more that a 2070 super or 4060 to get to 60fps naturally. Also to the point of the density of creatures... Cyberpunk, lot's of pedestrians, cars, and more and you can easily get to 60fps with less capable hardware (with pathtracing on). The issue may be that they have poorly optimized the many animals and the weather system code for PC so we could be seeing a lot of frame drops and stuttering as things are loading in. Just because the processor may not be the bottleneck does not mean that the GPU may become a new bottleneck.

[@deevo2703]

Not only medium, but that also assumes youre only going to get 30-40fps without framegen enabled. Enabling framegen for anything under 60fps baseline adds horrible input lag and artifacting. These "recommended" specs are lower than what realistically should be recommended considering that fact.

[@killerfugu2659]

Recommended specs this gen should be matching console experience which would be dialed down.

[@Daefus]

I don't agree, if medium looks good it's normal, it's cool if the game has the possibility to be even prettier in the future.

[@Sharkamfss]

In that case recommend would be a 4090 and whatever AMD equivalent exists. That's probably useless info to most people.

[@ckwi2245]

Ermmm no... Recommended should be on Medium. Minimum required should be... the game runs well enough to actually play it, but not a great experience. Recommended should be settings and hardware required to have a smooth experience with minimal graphical concessions. High/Max/Ultra settings are for people who have excess hardware power beyond running the game smoothly. Imagine if it said you need a 4090, an i9 14900K, 64GB of RAM, and DDR5 SSD as "Recommended" the game would flop because the impression would be you need a top of the line system just to make the game run in a tolerable way. Now I would like to know the hardware requirements to run at 1440p 60FPS, since I think 1440p is catching up to 1080p, but I'm pretty sure by Steam's statistics 1080p is still overwhelmingly dominant. Even telling people what the game would take to run at 4k is pointless, if a consumer can afford that rig, the spec sheet is pointless anyways.

requiring frame gen to hit 60fps (which wont *feel* like 60 in terms of your inputs) is crazy, especially given the recommended cpu and gpu are pretty beefy. i heard from people playing the demo that performance was rough, and i was hoping they were gonna fix that by the time the game came out, but if this is the recommended specs then i worry itll be real bad on launch.

The steam page for wilds calls the eye patch "Fencer's Eyepatch", so seems different than the sealed eyepatch in name at least.

[@bighat4742]

I will only disagree on your CPU point. The interactivity will mean the computational power will be on the processing of the data between all of those interactions happening on and off of your screen (like DD2 towns with their NPC interactions and upkeep and why it switches from being GPU bound to being CPU bound when entering cities). If they are properly leveraging graphics like any modern company, then the only power that the GPU is gonna use is what the player is seeing and not loading everything, everywhere, all the time. I am going to assume that they didn't post beefier CPU specs because even the highest end CPU's cause dips in cities. Either that, or it's because they are only shooting for the 60fps framegen, using the framegen as a crutch (even though framegen, per the manufacturers of it, like AMD say, and I will directly quote AMD, "When using AMD FSR 3 and FSR 3.1 frame generation, it is *highly recommended to be always running at a minimum of ~60 FPS before frame generation is applied* for an optimal high-quality gaming experience and to mitigate any latency introduced by the technology"). Denuvo definitely isn't going to help the situation, either, as proven with RE:Village pre and post-game cracking with scenes such as the fight with the daughters.

[@primemetroid4427]

Disagree on your take for CPU. DD2 cpu recommended are actually slightly lower than what is here on the intel side and both have the 3600x listed for AMD. So this sounds like it will be just as hard on CPU or worse than DD2 and they will use Denuvo again which will compound the issue. I’d recommend anyone with the cpus listed under recommended to wait and not preorder. Might be a rough experience. Hoping they learned from DD2 is pure cope imo, especially since both were being developed at same time and it’s different devs.

@@ravlin1963 they are lol (kidding, mostly. Some console gamers consider 30fps to be buttery smooth). That performance is not going to be good and Wilds is going to recieve a lot of negative reviews for it. Happens constantly with games today.

@@derrickfarbes1805Dude I am easily in the recommended specs but the game’s specs are implying that it can barely run at medium settings. That could imply a problem with the PS5 which is significantly weaker than my PC - we should all be concerned

[@LarkyLuna]

1080p medium 30fps with frame gen to reach 60 on current gen middle of the road GPUs is absurd Frame generation on that low fps feels horrible to play. I'm gonna wait for benchmarks because I don't want to deal with that kind of lag

[@jhonayo4887]

Whelp now seeing other videos on how this game will perform it's pretty likely it won't be good. Not buying day 1 if not at all. If my rig can't run this at 60fps stable it ain't happening. Game devs need to learn how to optimize games. They learned nothing from World.

[@TheSwoon69]

Frame generation required to hit 1080p 60 fps is feeling real bad. The documentation for frame gen clearly states the implementation should be 60+ fps baseline before it is enabled.

[@Feyrbrand31]

Man.. no clue how bad those specs are for PC, but given how much complaints and worries there are, I can only imagine how badly it must run on base PS5....

[@meisterwu8922]

Yes, it's pretty bad. To put it simply, without going into too much technical nuance: the frame rate on console will not improve compared to the Gamescom build. Judging by the specs listed, we should really set our expectations accordingly and be happy if the game even maintains a consistent 30fps. But the much-discussed eventual performance mode is completely off the table.

[@projectdaaltaran]

Those specs are for a fairly decent pc build. Not a budget, not entry level. I'd say higher end of mid level, lower end of high level build, bordering on enthusiast build depending on who you ask. That build should get you great 1440p settings on most games with a solid 60 fps or more and the same solid 60 fps in 4k at a moderate setting. To claim that this build can't even do solid 60 at 1080 on medium is basically telling consumers the new norm is to spend $2000 or more on a pc. The enthusiast build is now a requirement to go above minimum performance expectations in many of these games.

[@illegalalien6542]

I will bet any amount of money the REAL reason the spec requirements are so high is a means of compensating for the inevitable Denuvo performance bugs. And I'll bet it was more than likely the shareholders that suggested it's implementation. Since one of them asked a question about mods and the like.

[@LordZedz]

Your Steam Deck is going to catch fire and melt into a puddle if you try and run this. Hopefully Capcom pulls their shit together and optimizes the game. If it's actually like this on launch this shit is getting review bombed.

[@thecyanpanda241]

@LordZedz yall we are literally 5 full months away from launch, and the demo is likely at least a month or two away. I find it hard to believe that there isn't going to be some major optimization going on in the next couple months, especially in the last month or two leading up to release.

12:34 The 1660 super came out in 2019. It was actually the GPU I picked up because I couldn't run Iceborne on launch with my old card, so I ordered the 1660 super on Prime and had to wait a day and a half to play the expansion.

[@projectdaaltaran]

It's possible that the charm isn't unique but can be made in game anyway. I mean, after launch they start to add more and more packs to adjust play time/material grind for players who start over or come into the game late. Defender armor is way worse than a charm. And of course the charm is in the preorder set, not the extra purchase ones.

[@mandrews6282]

@@lutherloser5122 you just run around looking to bicker with people don’t you. Lol. Because nowhere did I say I was excited for any of these games. Just that the month is stacked for releases in Feb. Valhalla was the first in the series to sell over a billion dollars in revenue, so whether you like that IP or not, it’s still considered a large release. I do actually plan on checking all of these out though. I play most new releases and Ubi games are always a guilty pleasure (personally I think they’re overhated and people just kind of parrot Ubisoft bad). They’re the junk food of gaming. They don’t win awards like they did 10 years ago (although Odyssey was up for goty and lost to God of War in 2018) but Ubi games are generally the popcorn flicks of triple A releases. It’s not like I’m talking about the Gollum’s of the industry. AC is a pretty normie franchise.

Both my wife and I are super excited to play, but we're running 9600k CPUs with a 2080ti and a 2080 super. We're now looking at getting a couple of 4070's just so that we can have a playable experience when it launches. We would need to upgrade eventually anyway so it's not a massive deal, but we're definitely not excited about having to get new GPUs in order to really play. We also both play at 1440p...so yeah.

[@aner_bda]

Deluxe Edition is looking like a solid choice if you want to spend a little more money on some nice cosmetics. I'm sure the future DLC packs will be included as future purchases even if you didn't get the premium, so I'm going to just hold off on those.

[@mikecampbell1669]

I built my rig back in Dec 2016 (GTX 1070 and i5 6600k) was great for 1080p gaming back then. My CPU is struggling on almost every newer game now even though the 1070 is still doing surprisingly well. I am building a new PC specifically for Wilds. Saving up now over the next few months, hitting holiday deals, see what the next gen GPUs cost for AMD and NVidia. Current plan in a 1440p beast, 4070 super and 13600k.

regarding the high price, it is just as well that I was saving up money on Steam in advance and so I ended up pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition! Hoping for the demo real soon!

[@deinonychus1948]

Also regarding the system requirements; the GPU shown in the minimum system requirements section is very similar to my previous GPU, the Geforce GTX 1660 Ti, now I have the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT, not far off the one shown in the recommended system requirements, and considering that my PC can run several PS5 Games on High graphics rather well (Hogwarts Legacy-High, FFVII Remake-High, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor-Medium to High) I think my PC will be fine another note; my PC runs MHW on max settings flawlessly
