Since when does needs=recommend?

I'm a huge graphics freak and I'll gladly go for the ultra option with my 4 gb card. Do not care much about the occasional micro stutter.

Yeah thats the issue. Right. Not the fact that it obviously doesn't need these requirements as they are clearly a sign of piss poor optimization as the result based of studios focusing on the generational leap established by the PS4 and Xbone.

But I hear that as long as it looks better than consoles, PC gamers don't care that their graphics cards are massively underutilized due to lack of dedicated development. So all is well with the world

Nah. Check that pic of game settings. 6 gb recommended at 1080 p for ultra textures. A half decent card would manage it with minimal performance impact with less video ram.

Oh really? Yet, Black Flag and Watch Dogs get maxed out at 1080p by my 2GB 760.

Now you're telling me in less than 6 months, with a game that also has PS360 version, and doesn't look any better, it'll no longer do?

Unless the PS4 version is running at 720p, or at medium settings, there's no way they optimized the consoles enough to make my card, and many others, this outdated already.

Then tell in what way can Unity or TW3 work? Do you have any honest idea what 6GB of VRAM even is.

Almost no game uses more than 2gb of video memory yet to be maxed out at 1080p. And you're telling me Shadows of Mordor needs 3 just for high settings? Now imagine what 6GB is even for.

Keep dreaming. It's either a mistake, or just plain bad optmization. I'll eat crow if my 760 doesn't get benchmarked at 1080p ultra 30fps. And i say 30, assuming the consoles are also atthat frame rate.

You two do understand this game will look and run better on PC than PS4 or XBONE even without the 6vram card....right?
