IO Interactive has revealed the official PC system requirements for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. So, let’s see what PC system you’ll need to run it.
>> A game that will run on consoles with 16GB of total RAM requires twice as much to play 1080p/60fps. I hope they don’t complain if sales aren’t great on PC.

Ok, I'm quoting the article again because I've found some discussion online that shows, even more, how those specs requirements are BS:

1) It lists an i5 9500K as the mini. required CPU. The problem is that Intel released several 9500 CPUs, but none of them were a 9500K model. It literally doesn't exist.

2) Related to what we discussed in the thread yesterday, they list a 3060Ti or 6700XT GPUs for recommended specs along those 12GB of VRAM. The problem is that the 3060Ti only has 8GB, which goes against their own specs requirements. (Maybe that's why I kept using the 3060 in the discussion, because that card did have those 12GB).

So, it's either IOI using a dumb AI agent to come with those specs without checking the results or they put in charge someone quite incompetent to come up with those specs. Whatever the case, it puts them in a bad position, at least in my opinion.

Don't be surprised to see an updated version of those requirements before the game launches, hopefully also lowering the system RAM to 16GB.
