What are recommended specs for though ? It's always so confusing. Is it maxed out at 1080p and 60fps ?

Min gtx 760, but it's an Xbox one game?

I thought DX12 would lower system requirements.
Pretty sure a 260x is about the same as the xbone gpu. I know it's worse than a 7850.
It's Kepler. Kepler sucks nowadays. You should only look at the AMD side.

This is what I'm looking for from MS, keep this up.
Absolutely great news here, waiting for someone to spin this...patiently...waiting.

Doesn't DX12 only run on "newer" architecture?
All makes sense now.
Are you fucking kidding me? My 970 isn't enough to run this at recommended?
I am sure you will have a great experience with that card. There is no way a 970 won't handle this well.
Well, technically you will be.
If even the minimum config lists Directx 12 as needed it's safe to say only W10 will be supported
By newer, you mean stuff released in the last 5 years, yeah.
Would mean something if we knew what their "recommended" target is lolAre you fucking kidding me? My 970 isn't enough to run this at recommended?
Also fantastic tag you got there haha
Hmmm, yeah, you are probably right then.

Bring it! I'm excited to try out my 4790k & 980Ti on a DX12 game!

Most likely 1080p/60 fps and maxed settings. Could be that even the max settings is too much for a 980ti (one can only hope...).

A 970 can't max out Rise of the Tomb Raider for example. Recommended should be max settings and 1080p/60 fps at the very least.

Microsoft really are all in on getting everyone on Windows 10, aren't they

I dunno 260x sounds decently more powerful than the XBO GPU https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2465/radeon-r7-260x.html

Joke specs.
It's an XB1 game.
It's an XB1 game.
Could it have something to do with DX12 being able to get more performance out of AMD's GPUs than Nvidia's? (Sorry if that's total bullshit, I know next to nothing about this sort of stuff

Dude! The Portal 2 cross-buy dream is alive! Awesome news.
I'm not against a Windows Store version. I care about Xbox achievements more than I do Stean achievements (and care about neither too much lately) and the biggest plus I got from Steam was the screenshot button, which is easier to do outside of Steam nowadays.
...still a little frustrating that as part of the relatively small percent of people with both a console and a pretty alright PC I have less and less reasons to actually play stuff on said console, but it's still 100% the right move.

Damn Ms, it should be cross buy, not just for pre orders.

It says Windows 10 exclusive right on the box:
Wow. Did not think they would take that to the box art.
Yep. So weird.

It's DX12, so it obviously is Win 10 exclusive.
Nah I just did some research. The 260x is just a rebranded 7790.

So, this is DX12 and requires 980Ti at the same time? This makes no sense, DX12 is supposed to have great optimization.
So..... they did no optimization at all for the PC-Port? Smells fishy or Specs are wrong

There might be very good reasons for that, they're just numbers and models right now, we can't really know if it's justified. It could have some sttings that even on lowest would be superior to the console version, it's not that uncommon. Already happened with Dying Light's Level of Detail setting, where lowest was still higher than PS4.
Until we know for sure what Minimum and Recommended means, there's nothing we can say about the specs other than "it's a very demanding game".

These specs seem odd. If it can run on the Xbox what the hell does it need so much raw power for on PC? Poorly optimized?

DX12 helps the CPU bound games mostly
What?
Oh shit true. Awesome, then I'll play it on Xbox One first and give it a shot on PC once I replace my R9 270!
Possibly from what they tested, too. It's not at all uncommon to find out that cards weaker than minimum specs can still run games decently, they just didn't list because they didn't want to take a chance with cards they didn't actually test.

It could be that required is for low settings at 1080p with 60 fps (as it should be; it's 2016) and the Xbox One version is running at 1080p/30 fps.

I have exactly the recommended specs. 980 Ti, 4790k, 16GB RAM. God damn. So much for future-proofing. I figured my rig would far exceed recommended specs for at least another year.
Did you know that games can dramatically scale up? Like ROTR recently?
McHuj

Because on the Xbox it probably runs somewhere around the min spec. Recommended is to actually make it look like a proper PC game should.
I'm really glad we're getting into the time of 980Ti's as the recommended spec. One day, it will be the min spec and what a glorious day that will be.
I am pleased it's getting ported along with other stuff, I better be a good port otherwise, there will loads of unhappy bunnies.
I will wait till later this year when I get my new rig before attempting to play this. It be a pretty game with lackluster game play, and people are spending 000's to play console ports. My i72600K, 770 GTX, 16GB but stilling running win 7 due to problems with win10. Now this isn't a bad rig, and runs everything fine.
I can afford to buy a good rig, but I think it going to end up like Game for Windows, and older Microsoft ports.
