It is too expansive in a Russian Steam. I hope, that the price will be lowered

Awesome! Now if only my computer could handle the graphics card it asks for...
I only have a GForce 730 and it's asking for a GTX 750! That's more than what Fallout 4 asks for and my computer can barely run that!

Start putting away some moneys for a cheap GPU like the RX 480 or the GTX 1050ti or even the GTX 1060.

Im looking on pcpartpicker and you can get the 1050ti for $138 (USD).

The 480 is $184, and the 1060 is $193 for the 3gb version, and $229 for the 6gb version.

Keep in mind they plan to keep DirectX 9.0 graphics for players who have older computers so the minimum requirement may acutally be lower than what is currently displayed once they get the Benchmark out for 4.0 and actually test the graphics for 4.0.

That's, in fact, what I wish for. I can run the game smoothly at medium-high (1366x768) at ~30 FPS on my old i7, 8gb RAM and Nvidia 520MX laptop. I was expecting a i3 and a Nvidia 300 or 400 as minimum. Never think in a such big jump, even more than the current recommended (a 660GTX). I cannot change my computer right now, maybe in like 1-2 years. Direct X9 client is my only hope. A far I can run the game at acceptable frame rate is good till I can buy a new one.

I really do hope I can continue to play this game on my tablet when I am not at home. I use a surface pro 3 for travel so it uses the Intel HD 4400 Graphics with an I7 4650U CPU, not the best but runs a steady 25-30 fps on the lowest settings atm and is my travel PC when work sends me away. Really wasnt expecting such a large jump in requirements.

The minimum requirements most like will decrease once the benchmark is out. As stated in the official website when you check on PC requirements it says "The Minimum System Requirements (tentative) listed above are the anticipated minimum system requirements to run this software. However, please be aware that this information is still subject to change."

You'll also notice the information is basically the same information for DirectX11 requirements which would indicate the current requirements are just default set up information until the actual testing on the benchmark begins.

Though I wish they would release the benchmark soon for testing but I guess they're waiting to first reveal all new Jobs first so they can "test" the upgraded graphics with all new Jobs in the Benchmark now that PS3 is no longer supported in 4.0.

I bought the PS4 pre-order from square Enix s site and then put the activation code into PSN and subsequently got the expected activation code on psn but my account says that I don't currently have the pre-order access when looking at my account through the mogstation account manager. So... Cofused. Do you think I did something wrong?
