These are pretty detailed requirements and exactly how we like to see them. If you’re looking to play at Higher Settings, with Upscaling set at “Quality”, then you need something like a GTX 1080 Ti paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. Given how they’ve mentioned upscaling in the requirements, it’s safe to say this is a very demanding title, and even at 1080p, you’ll need a level of upscaling if you have this GPU.
On the lower side, though, with Upscale set to “Performance,” you’ll need something like a GTX 1070. This is one of the indicators that the title probably won’t perform well on lower-end or budget systems. The GTX 1070 is a bit old now, but it’s still a capable 1080p GPU.
You also need 85 GB of free space to install the title and 16 GB of RAM. Even at a minimum, an SSD is preferred while a requirement if you’re looking to push the settings.
