What's your build?
I just built a PC in January.

  • ASUS Prime Z690-A LGA
  • Intel Core i7-12700KF
  • CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz C40-40-40-77 1.25V
  • ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

I am sure I can manage 4k with Nvidia's DLSS

I gave in and ordered last minute, but ended up with:

  • Asus TUF B650 PLUS WIFI
  • Ryzen 7700X (8 core)
  • Corsair Vengence DDR5 6200MHz 32GB
  • Asus TUF 4090
  • 2x Samsung 980 Pro PCIE 4.0 NVME drives

Besides the graphics, (I was on 2x970 GTX 970), it was the load times that were killing me on a SATA SSD. I'm a save scummer, at least in early access.

I wasn't going to build a new PC for this game. I WASN'T!

Looks sweet. I use my 4k TV as a monitor and play on steam with my Xbox controller. Very comfortable on my sofa.

I bet your system won't even need Nvidia's DLSS. Looks like your PC has the RAW power to max everything and not have to upscale it.

That's the hope. I'm using. 4k TV as well, but more as a monitor. I'm going to try a PS controller as well, I've always been a K&M boy, but I can see how it could work with this game. I hate the click and follow.

Let me know if you want to be a mod here, you post more than I do, and I just set it up as part of my effort to get Reddit's claws out of me.
