Well the game is DX11 enabled, not alot of DX11 cards out on market.....

To max a new, cutting edge PC game you need a $150 GPU. No way!!!

Might be true but probably that is recomemded because of DX11, so only HD57xx and HD58xx will obviously do the work. I guess that something like a 8800GT will let you max it without DX11, resolution aside.

Is it me or is their a HUGE difference between those two sets of specs? jesus

high system requirements yet it barely looks better then console versions....wow

Both the reccomended CPU and graphics card can be had for around $170 each. (except i7)

What's the problem??

Phenom II x4 945 3.0ghz

HD 5770

high system requirements yet it barely looks better then console versions....wow

Just like DX10, DX11 starts more like a system hog than anything else. Let's just hope this time around games are made around it, so it can properly evolve.

Ewwwwwwwww

Minimum settings = Wii trying to run Uncharted 2

Recommended requirments are just that, recommended. They are not what is required to run the game.

It's funny how console gamers put a spin on system requirements. If it's high they start crying about how expensive pc gaming is. If it's low they start complaining about how crysis is the only pc game that looks awesome.

By the rational of some of the people in here I shouldn't be able to get good settings in Dragon Age, because it recommends a quad core were as I only have a dual.

Yet I'm playing the game maxed out at 1920x1200, perfectly acceptable frame rates.

Why do people post recommend requirements and try to pass them off as minimum? Recommended is for MAXIMUM visual appeal, it is not necessary, you know what's the double standard with consolities... their little crap hardware is essentially playing the game on MEDIUM.. yet they say that PC gamers must play the game on the HIGHEST or it doesn't count.

it's the dragon age thing all over again yet alot of people max the game on less hardware than the recommended.

Well for DX11 I would expect nothing less.

Due to lack of standards and optimization, you need to meet the recommended specs to have the best chance of running the game adequately.

Thats why you never go by the minimum.

Of course they are going to recommend a DX11 card for DX11 effects, but that doesn't mean it can't be maxed out everywhere else on earlier hardware. My rig will destroy this game...minus the DX11 of course.

That's the recommended requirements which is about rgiht considering it's using DirectX 11 and is far superior in graphics to the consoles.

The minimum requirements are as low as Modern Warfare 2. Booo-*****-hoo!
