Clickbait headline:
It will run on 16GB; the original announcement even mentions the Switch 2. There’s no reasoning would need 32GB for 60 FPS, given low settings and a CPU that can push it.
That headline's a bit disappointing, as I really love Notebookcheck. Their reviews and databases are incredible.
Not to mention game development takes years. Its not like you can just reduce system requirements at the end of development because of an unpredictable hardware shortage.
9000-series intel
Minimum requirements
Oh noooo… is my 9900k getting old? I feel like it was only recently that I put this computer together, jeez…
To be fair, the 9000 series has the same architecture as Intel's 6000 series Skylake CPUs, from 2015.
There is no 9500K, but I assume they’re referencing this one: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/134895/intel-core-i59500-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz/specifications.html
Which is 6C/6T.
Wild! It’s still performing perfectly for everything I throw at it, but it just feels like I built it so much less long ago hahaha.
I've played games with some of my system's stats at minimum requirements or slightly above before. Usually not fun.
Yeah, seeing this, I'm really not too worried. IOI has always managed pretty impressive visuals in the past too, their stuff is really well optimized, considering the scope of their simulations. I'm really not that concerned for the game at these recommended specs.
