Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

EA announced the news via the game's official Twitter account just now. In addition to the game's quality mode on the next-gen consoles, there will be a Performance Mode that runs the game in 2K (1440p) resolution at 60FPS without ray tracing. Although EA mentions that these modes will be available on consoles, there's no mention of the resolution and framerate on the Xbox Series S. It will be interesting to see in which resolution and framerate the game will run in each mode on Microsoft's entry-level next-gen console.

Aside from confirming the graphical modes on consoles, EA has also reconfirmed the game's minimum and recommended PC requirements - both were revealed months ago, and these still appear valid. For the sake of completeness, we've included the PC requirements down below:

MINIMUM:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Window 10 64-bit +
• Processor: Ryzen 5 2600x, Core i5 8600
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD RX 5700, GTX 1070
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 50 GB available space

RECOMMENDED:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Window 10 64-bit +
• Processor: Ryzen 5 5600X,Core i5 11600K
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: Radeon RX 6700 XT, Geforce RTX 2070
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 50 GB available space

Are those recommended specs for 1080p120? EA are weird

 

[MikeM]

Can someone explain to me like im 5 years old why 60fps games don’t have an automatic framerate unlock feature when vrr is detected? Is it that hard to implement??

 

[Lucifers Beard]

This isn’t much help when it doesn’t tell you what resolution, settings and expected frame rate you will get.

 

[spartan30gr]

60 fps baby
All the way

 

[skneogaf]

Will my 4090 be able to run this?

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

Requires a 64-bit processor


So, just any 64-bit processor will do, huh? Sounds optimized.

 

[Hendrick's]

Console specs? It's going to be 1080p at a shaky 60 would be my bet.

developers not giving even half a shit... that's why.

bigger and bigger dev teams, the bigger the team the smaller each member feels, being only a tiny gear in the machine kills enthusiasm, no enthusiasm = only do the absolute minimum work required and don't really care to pitch ideas or add anything special.

that's the modern AAA development issue

 

[VeganElduderino]

5600x + 3060 or ps5 , that's the question !

 

[01011001]

5600x + 3060 or ps5 , that's the question !

what engine are they using? it's Frostbite right?
Frostbite in the past ran pretty damn well on my PCs, so I assume and hope this is true here as well.

if the game has DLSS support I bet I can get it to +60fps no problem with RT on and hopefully no shader stutters.

Yeah Frostbite and another plus is DS2 for free

 

[Rush2112]

For a linear game that isn't even that long, I wouldn't expect serious performance issues.

 

[Xdrive05]

5600x + 3060 or ps5 , that's the question !

Well you're in the recommended, so there's that. But who knows what that even means.

One thing: "Radeon RX 6700 XT, Geforce RTX 2070." Uh, those are not the same thing at all. 2070 should match up more with a 6600 or 6600XT. Suggests an Nvidia advantage in this title? Or just shitty requirements you can't trust?

 

[baphomet]

Cool, 4k/120fps with ray tracing it is.

Yeah exactly ! Who knows with PC's , the safe way is always ps5 but i'll probably end up getting it on steam for the DS2 bonus , but it's still scary

apparently recommended is with RT shadows on, so yeah.

 

[GreatnessRD]

How the fuck you go from a 1070 to a 5700? EA, please, be fuckin' for real.

Looks like these specs should just be ignored.

 

[01011001]

some games perform surprisingly similarly on both. maybe this is one of those games.

you can see comparison videos where the 5700 is only an average of 5fps or so above the 1070, and in others it's 20fps or even 40fps ahead...

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Is it raytraced lighting or just shadow tho?

 

[k_trout]

need broadband to run this game? huh

 

[SLESS]

Whoever wrote these requirements is the entire autism spectrum, just saying.

 

[Kataploom]

Howard's Legacy devs did the same (2080Ti or 6800xt for 1440p), I assumed in that thread that it's maybe because on PC RT is expected to be used but someone replied to me saying that game won't have RT (which I don't think it's necessarily true)... Srsly hope it's just the ones in charge of putting the requirements being ignorant and not that they run worse on AMD cards

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Can't say I trust these requirements at all. But given that BF2042 can deliver locked 40 FPS on PC at 4K with 3070, I think 30 FPS lock at 4K is possible, without RT. I wonder though if the game will have the same frametime spikes as BF2042, this could seriously hurt the whole experience at launch.

 

[clampzyn]

this game is supported by nvidia seeing it has DLSS 3, probably the game will run better on nvidia cards. 6700xt should stomp a 2070 by huge margin except when RT is enabled

 

[nkarafo]

i5 8600 is the minimum? Like a 6 core i5 CPU?

What exactly is this game doing that needs so much CPU power? It's not open world, doesn't have to render whole cities and hundreds of NPCs, it's physics, AI and animations seem pretty basic, etc. It doesn't even look that good.

 

[GymWolf]

These are almost as useful as when i asked to my teacher where was the north pole in the map and she told me "on this planet".

 

[Bojji]

5600x + 3060 or ps5 , that's the question !

PS5 is stronger than this PC but... You will have much more options on PC adjusting quality/performance to your liking.

But maybe PC port is a turd and console is the only sane way to go (shader stuttering) lol.

Ps5 dosnt have a better cpu then the 5600x or a better videocard then a 3060 ! It's just the optimization i'm worried about the pc ! Everything is better optimized for consoles

PS5 GPU overall is stronger than 3060 (not in RT probably) but yeah CPU is weaker.

There were many fucked up ports on pc recently so only thing you can do is to wait for DF video.

Lol, Callisto Protocol said 'hi'

Fair enough, but the specs still seem all over the place, haha.

 

[01011001]

Lol, Callisto Protocol said 'hi'

yeah but that was Unreal Engine... which recently is trying super hard to become the new Unity Engine.
I am way more concerned that they fucked up the game's design and not so much about how it runs tbh. Frostbite is very solid.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Will my 4090 be able to run this?

No you'll need a CPU mobo and some ram

 

[Rippa]

Bells and Whistles mode on PS5 for me.

Can’t fucking wait!

 

[bender]

No you'll need a CPU mobo and some ram

 

[Mister Wolf]

I hate when they mention raytracing but won't be specific.

 

[Lions Gate]

30fps should be illegal. 60 all the way

 

[rofif]

bad
bad modes on consoles.
bad modes are bad when it's a trade off
bad modes are bad when 30fps mode got this extreme slow input lag unlike proper 30fps
bad modes are when performance mode is lacking graphical features instead of just using dynamic res + upscaling
The RT pipeline dev cycle makes no sense if they still have to place lights and crap all around for non RT users

 

[Kuranghi]

I sure hope 30fps mode on consoles is native 4K, maybe not with RT, but without certainly.

Wait for release day and check the performance videos.

I really wonder if a dynamic 1440p with RT was absolutely impossible somehow... but I bet it wasn't, I bet we will see RX6700xt + Zen 2 users benchmarking it that will reach 60+ fps with lower resolutions and maybe unimportant stuff turned down.

 

[Physiognomonics]

At this point they really should pretend like if the consoles don't have RT and focus on the 60fps mode. Who wants to play at sub 30fps 4K (ish) just to have RT? Nice for marketing pics I guess?

 

[TonyK]

Quality, as with Callisto Protocol. 2k without RT for this game will look like PS4 for sure.

[01011001]

pretty sure he's talking about people that actually care about gameplay, you know...

with how much input lag modern games have, every frame helps.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but 2k@60 on consoles means it renders at 1440p (don't know if dynamic or locked) and upscales to 2160p if I use a 4k screen, right?

 

[rofif]

It’s all devs dependent. Metro exodus is 60 and have best rt this gen. And dynamic res that pretty high.

 

[YCoCg]

Requires a 64-bit processor


So, just any 64-bit processor will do, huh? Sounds optimized.

AMD Athlon64 is back for this!

 

[01011001]

I think you should look up what upscaling means, because every game that isn't 4k and is displayed in full screen on your 4K display is getting upscaled...

if you connect your PS2 to your TV, the TV will upscale 480p to 4K.
if you connect your NES to your TV, the TV will upscale 224p to 4K.

everything that is below the resolution of your TV's pixel grid is getting upscaled, unless you display a 1 to 1 pixel scale, which would mean black borders around your video output.
