We already knew all this info weeks ago.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hope it runs well on Linux.

Knowing bethesda games, it will either run great or your physics will be from a popeye cartoon.

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Both magnificent options

At least we know there will be mods to fix everything.

cries as realises my once-mighty 2070s is no longer 'recommended specs'

[–] Waker@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Also on the 2070 boat :( I think I might sell it 2nd hand soon before it's worthless hahah

[–] ADHDefy@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. I just bought the 2070S like... 3 years ago? 2 or 3. I thought it would let me max out games for closer to 5 years, but here we are. lol

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It's done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.

Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren't overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.

Bethesda.net/workshop

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That link gives me a 404... do you know why it's included internet connection in the recommended (but not required) specs?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's not a link; i was saying the Internet connection is only even mentioned because of the Bethesda.net service and access to the Steam Workshop; both are for getting mods, and Bethesda.net is also where you'd get paid cosmetics and whatnot if they have them. It's not required to play, which is why it's only in recommended.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ahh I see, thanks for the explanation.

[–] iforgotmyinstance@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

SSD required fuck yeah

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

At this point companys really must be increasing requirements just because, aint no way something that looks like starfield needs that much ram

[–] Dr_Cog@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

16gb isn't really a lot of RAM nowadays, though

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it totally is, im not getting old, you're getting old

[–] Apeeksiht@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

I was playing elden ring last year with ram usage around 9gb to 10gb that too on 1080p

[–] entropicshart@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

You should try booting up Icarus - 32gb get filled up as if you’re using a floppy disk

[–] whiskers@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We'll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

i mean, its bethesda, yo you really expect any kind of optimization ? and at launch at that? its a sad state of affairs but alas, that is how tripl a is nowadays
