PC requirements getting a bit silly?

[Mikjul]

Minimum Rainbow Six Siege

• OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, x64.
• CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core.
• CPU Speed: 3.3 GHz (Recommended), 2.6 GHz (Minimum)
• RAM: 8 GB.
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 / R9 280 X.
• VRAM: 2 GB.

 

Saw that and threw up a little bit.

 

[MegaDave91]

Fairly modest in my opinion.

[Aytex]

no, its fine

[Mikjul]

So everyone with anything below a 2500k, a 7970 or GTX 670 cannot play this game.

 

Right...

 

So GTX 960/R9 380.... all dead.

It's a beta, they might change...

or, maybe le devs are saying if you want a full 1080p 60 fps experience on various settings, then you shuold have atleaste these parts

[Mikjul]

Or maybe the guy at google needs sacking.

 

Found the real requirements direct from UBI... STUPID ASS GOOGLE!

The Minimum Requirements PC will allow you to achieve 30fps with resolution set to 720p at Low Settings, and possibly to exceed it. Please remember that increasing the resolution and / or render quality will cause your framerate to drop. 

To ensure that the game is running at its best please make sure that you have installed the latest drivers for your graphics card. You can download them from the following websites: 

AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download 
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx

If you want to play, you have to pay. Oldest rule in the book.

The gpu requirements seem pretty high as a minimum considering that game really isn't anything special to look at, but it is a Ubisoft title... so it probably needs it due to poor optimization.

 

Edit: those make much more sense as recommended requirements.

[Thozi]

Old mid-range tech as requirements? Seems fine to me

[Mikjul]

Played it on my R9 390, runs flwless and well above 90FPS.

 

Tried it on 6870... says 2.2GB out of 1GB used, but is doing 35-50FPS at 1080p with mostly high settings.

 

UBI and their BS.

Get a console if advanced PC requirements bother you. Not all of us use a potato PC.

I see ignorant people posting, nothing unusual to see here.

LOL, that got a real laugh. Good stuff.

[typographie]

System requirements are usually oversimplified, contradictory bullshit.

 

Case in point: FX-8120 OR Core i5-2500K? If you actually need a 2500K, the FX-8120 is inadequate. If the 8120 is adequate, you don't need a 2500K. You can't really set up an equivalency there.

 

The same thing happens with the video cards. The HD 7970 and R9 280X are comparable to the GTX 680 or 770. The GTX 670 is a lower-tier, lower-performance card.

[Nineshadow]

My 560 runs it just fine.

 

Just as it ran Witcher 3 or any other game that came out in 2015.

[Totallycasual]

I think people need to just realize that they need to upgrade their PC more than once every 10 years.

^ this.

 

If you're not upgrading your computer every 3-4 years, you're doing it wrong...

[MegaDave91]

A 670 is by no means a high-end card and likewise with the 2500K. 

 

If someone doesn't have current equivalent hardware of the hardware listed above; an upgrade should (needs) be in order.

That's rich...

 

1. Get a decent job that pays well and you wouldn't be bitching about games with sub-par requirements.

2. You're a gamer right? Maybe next time don't skimp on your video card? You shouldn't be purchasing bottom of the barrel video cards anyway if you're not planning on upgrading every two years.

Wooh there cowboy, holster that iron before you shot your foot off. Brother has a rig worth being proud of. Bought that ticket on the hype train to Skylake and everythin. He's mad for those less fortunate.

Nobody takes "official" system requirements as truth or anything, it would be silly to take them seriously.

What!?! Are you ****ing kidding me!?! Those ambiguous requirements using reference ****ing cards don't mean shit? I ****ing build my god damn rig using those ****ing things.

 

No, not really. I just wanted to swear.

[WestcoastPCBuilder]

G3258 + HD 7750 ... 100% CPU usage w/o recording. 96% GPU usage on low end card. Quad core is definetly accurate. HD 7750 does the trick but that's only low settings and hits 30fps dips.

 

 

i3 or Quad core + HD 7770 / GTX 560 Ti seems more accurate as a minumum.
