Required system specifications
Hello, your question is clear. The system needs are important to discuss. Yes, the game is quite demanding on the CPU due to the large number of ships and asteroids moving around. For the GPU, you're considering R9 270x or a 970, but keep in mind new models will be released later. You're wondering if your current setup can achieve 60 FPS at 1080p on ultra settings. Regarding the CPU, you're planning to use newer Intel processors, with a budget around $350, which should be sufficient. Thank you for your inquiry.
It's clear you're concerned about performance. Using a separate SSD would significantly improve loading speeds, especially since the game is quite large at around 100GB.
It seems the visual quality doesn't vary much, just a small 3% change from low to very high settings. My Strix 970 is handling the 1200p display well at 58 frames per second, so everything should work smoothly.
They claim the game won't expand significantly. Much data will be saved on their servers, and assets will be more compressed without losing quality. The installation size should likely be around 65GB.
