It's more to do with having a discussion point rather than taking them as gospel and ignoring the reviews. In the past, the devs gave vague requirements that showed min and recommended with potato specs. This gen is different where the devs are giving us fairly detailed requirements with interesting patterns. So it's not like people won't be posting performance numbers as they come out but until then, it is an interesting point of discussion as we start coming into the next generation of games. |
I don't think saying 6700 XT/2070 Super for 1080p60 at medium and a 6800 XT/3080 for 4K60 at epic is interesting is right, just wildly inaccurate.
If the former is true the latter will barely get to 30 fps at 4K. If the latter is true then the former would likely be >120 fps at the same settings, let alone medium. Not to mention if the 3080 and the 6800 are equivalent here then the 6700 will outperform the 2070 Super by 20-25%. If they aren't, they could have picked up better GPUs to compare at the higher end. So nothing about it makes sense... as usual for those spec sheets.
Edit - maybe I'm being too harsh since the department/employee responsible for these likely have limited time and a limited variety of test configurations. But still, in this case, the original point stands.
