When Ryse came out as a launch game for the Xbox One, the minimum requirements for the pc version was a GTX 660 and it's been pretty much the same for 95% of the multiplatform games that came out ever since. |

Or look at Dirt Rally. It's no cross-gen game, it only was released for PC, PS4 & XBO in December 2015:
Or Watch_Dogs:
Or Fallout 4:
And let's not even mention very popular 8th gen games like Overwatch, Rocket League, Ori and thousands of other great games with less performance needs.
Additionally, minimum PC requirements are some kind of vague concept that's open to interpretation, since they don't give the information, which resolution and minimal/average framerate and other settings the publisher had in mind, when they printed that recommendation onto the box (in most cases).
There are whole Youtube channels dedicated to showing games running waaaay under their "minimum" requirements: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQkd05iAYed2-LOmhjzDG6g
