RTX 2060 supposed to be enough but at the same time 8GB VRAM minimum? How does that work out?

I suspect that they either meant the 2060 Super, which comes with 8GB, or the 3060 with it's 12GB VRAM.

I am sure Cyberpunk will go on big discount during the upcoming steam sales. It is worth playing since the single player story is quite good. Just the open world interaction and such is still pretty meh. If you go into it not expecting GTA, you will have a good time.

Could be a 2060 Super since 2060 was pretty terrible. I doubt it's a 3060 though.

We can say for sure that Cyberpunk is the new Crysis. Those specs are insane.

TechPowerUp shows the same 15% advantage over the 3060 at 1080p.

Still, I have a hard time believing that Nvidia will launch a card that's slower than its predecesor. Yes, the 3060Ti beats the 4060Ti in some tests, but the average still puts the 4060Ti on top, and I hope the same is true again with the 4060 because if that's not the case, it won't matter how much Nvidia tries to spin that with DLSS3 or whatever, it will be a disaster of epic proportions.

But well, maybe Nvidia doesn't care for the low end market with its small profit margins anymore.

Yeah its bad. For RDNA 2, RT was clearly an afterthought for AMD. Even with RDNA 3 and their top end SKU the 7900XTX just barely matches a 3080Ti/3090 for games with heavy RT effects.

And a prior $650 GPU barely matching $200 GPU's in 2023, is a bit of a embarrassment lol.

True, barely anyone could run Crysis when it launched. And here you'd need a $1200 GPU as a bare minumum to run it with all its effects, plus a near TOTL 12 core CPU. Granted the non-RT requirements aren't as mad and is playable with it turned off.

Yeah they've supposedly added a lot to the game including improved Ai. Curious to see how performance scales with different tiers of CPU to GPU.

I kind of doubt that. GOG's summer sale just started, and Cyberpunk is -50 % as usual. I don't think CDPR is going to sell the game for a lower price elsewhere just a while later.

Yea I meant big discount relative to paying full price. 50% off is a pretty good discount and is well worth it if you have RTX GPU and want to test out Nvidia technologies while playing a pretty good game. I am sure when they announce RTX 5000 series, Cyberpunk will have even more GPU intensive RT modes.

There was no CPU on the market that could run it at 30 FPS at stock. But the Core 2 Duos could be overclocked to over 4 GHz most of the time.

Another issue back then was that the flat screen monitors of the time were terrible when you had to play below native resolution.

Speaking of requirements, Lies of P is a prime example of how to do PC requirements the correct way. They certainly did extensive testing, that's for sure:

Ah, I see. For some reason, I thought you meant an exceptionally good sale, but evidently not. Anyway, since we're already at it, I might mention that it appears to be -50 % on Steam as well at the moment.
