"Bethesda has just revealed the official PC requirements for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. According to the company, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i7-3770 or an AMD FX-8350, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 770 4GB or an AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB graphics card."

It's always promising when devs put out specs that don't match at all between nVidia/AMD GPUs and/or are twice as poweful as PS4. /s

Not just GPU's. But CPU's as well.

The i7 3770 is far above the FX 8350 to the tune of 50-90% more performance depending on game/load.
A first gen i7 like the Nahelem i7 940 would be a better equivalent to the FX 8350, neither are substantual increases over a heavily overclocked Core 2 Quad.

Having higher specs in general though is okay in my eyes. We do generally get better visuals and framerates than other lesser (from a hardware perspective) platforms, that's not usually free.

I mean... If we looked at Doom on PS4... It is not always 1080P and 60fps 100% of the time, it is even more depressing on the Xbox One... Neither device is using max graphics either.

Essentially we should expect similar results in visuals/performance/hardware as Doom on PC vs Consoles with Wolfenstein PC vs Consoles

Sure, PC gets better visuals, but that's what recommended requirememnts are for - when dev reveals minimum system requirements, that's exactly what they should be - game running on lowest settings at something like 720p.

But regardless of that, I hate seeing wild difference between Intel/AMD and nVidia/AMD requirements - I honestly wonder sometimes if big devs even test on anything else but Intel/nVidia rigs.
