Find it odd that it needs 6GB for ultra when games like Ryse say they only need 2GB. has anyone got a copy yet and used something like Afterburner to actually see if it does use this much VRAM?
Are you basing that on the difference between the minimum and recommended specs hard drive requirements? If thats the size hopefully there will be quite a difference.15gb I believe, check the Steam specs.

I guess we will have to wait and see the benchs.
It's kind of weir imo that this game asks for that much, because from the gameplay videos, it doesn't seem to be very rich in variety of assets to be honest.
that's not how I roll son-lol
I was going to finally bite the bullet on upgrading my 680 sli this weekend, but seeing this, TEW and in Fear of what the Witcher 3 recommended for über settings has cast a giant shadow of doubt over upgrading now.
If I'm playing on PC I'm playing on ultra-
Is this because of PS4 and XB1's 5 to 8 gigs RAM why these PC requirements are so high now??????
Skryim with most textures at 4k resolution doesn't even use 6gb of VRAM. Ultra in this game had better be 8k textures to justify that VRAM requirement. Unless they're loading every texture in the game at once? Which would be pretty silly.
Good. Push it more. More! PC progress needs to wake from its 5 year nap. Push it til the smoke alarms scream.
PC gamers are crazyThat makes no sense at all. If it's a console you are fine with a sub-par experience but if it's PC it has to be max settings? Even though this game obviously doesn't expect a lot of people to hit those settings? To each their own but that seems like a strange thing to do. The PC version on High will more than likely still be the better version, plus you have the option of 120fps or 1440p or any other number of graphical features not available on the console versions.

That "ubersampling" option in The Witcher 2 must have been painful for you.PC gamers are crazy
welcome to things that don't make sense
I have played games with my setup long enough that not being able to play on max settings is growing tiresome. what's the point? sure it looks better than console-of course- but you know what sucks? spending hundreds of dollars on gpus and not being able to check all the boxes on the options screen without serious consequences. to me:not worth it.
Like having access to a Lambo but being told "65mph" only. fuck all that
And alienate 99.9% of your customers. Laziness on the devs part. Nothing else.
So are we now going to yell at devs for puttin gin ultra high end options in their PC games`?
People get some perspective please, this is a good thing... not a bad thing.

Ryse is a coridoor game.Find it odd that it needs 6GB for ultra when games like Ryse say they only need 2GB. has anyone got a copy yet and used something like Afterburner to actually see if it does use this much VRAM?

Not really, since it's your technology holding you back. It'd be more akin to having access to a racetrack but only owning a Smart car. You can complain about not being able to use the track's full potential all you want but they won't and shouldn't drop the speed limit to make you feel better.Like having access to a Lambo but being told "65mph" only. fuck all that
Pushing hardware doesn't mean leaving people behind, it's giving people more options on how they want to play the game. If someone has top of the line hardware let them fucking use it.
That ubersampling option isn't even THAT good. It's actually pretty fucking mediocre at reducing aliasing.
But also:
I call bullshit until I see some lossless 1:1 PNG comparisons.
Those textures have to be insanely high resolution and well detailed to justify such a requirement.

edit:I'm more or less just pissed I have to wait more to upgrade my PC (apparently) than anything else.
Top of the line like the brand new Nvidia card?
Seeing as how Monolith are now letting people who actually buy super high-end PCs have a bit of fun, you're suddenly annoyed because your PC isn't good enough? These sort of options should exist for future-proofing or for people willing to spend the money to reach it. If you want to play the inferior version, go right ahead. But don't blame the devs or the platform because your machine isn't good enough.
Ryse is a coridoor game.
Middle Earth is an open world game
Yeah, it doesn't. But still, short answer: Yes, that's the reason.
Longer answer: Developers can do a lot more with Ultra settings on the PC now that they aren't as constrained by 512mb RAM consoles. It's a lot easier to scale up further when the PS4 & XB1 are the baseline. Mordor is technically cross-gen, but the last gen versions were outsourced and apparently have stuff gutted from them. It's more like pseudo-cross gen so the developers weren't so quite as held back by it.
Basically, the PS4 & XB1 are a *huge* boon for people who love high end PC settings.

wait... why are people all of a sudden acting like PS4 / XB1 versions will be like playing these games on ultra with these "glad I bought a PS4 instead of a computer lol" comments?
Wont the game even on medium/high still be the same or better than the consoles as usual?
Never any guarantees, besides, I'm assuming those who are saying that, are those who probably now fall into the low/medium settings currently, and are saying, rather than buy the necessary cards for High/Ultra, it makes sense to just get an Xbox One or PS4.
It's silly for you to suggest this until we get some performance analysis. If this is the Crysis kind of performance requirements i'll agree it's a good thing, if it's the watchdogs kind of requirements i'll have to disagree.So are we now going to yell at devs for puttin gin ultra high end options in their PC games`?

Fucking christ that's pretty rough looking. Same as The Evil Within.PCGamer put up a 1440p max setting vid on youtube. Youtube has some shit compression, but its something I guess.

No, like people with 6Gb 780ti's or Titans. Or for the future when high end cards catch up.

Such high requirements for such small, tiny, minuscule dividends. Is this a joke or something?
And alienate 99.9% of your customers. Laziness on the devs part. Nothing else.
The future? Game looks ok but much more can be done with much less on PC. I stand by what I said.
