PC Gaming is Only for Rich People I Guess…

[tinsnips]

The system requirements in the beginning was the most counterintuitive system I've ever seen 😂😂😂

[wortonissk]

A lot of people forget to mention that even at 1080p, the requirements are becoming more demanding. For this reason, i don't think 4k will become the norm anytime soon.

An apparent lack of game optimization.

[grizzlyreaper]

To be fair, Civ has always benefited from a higher core count. The amount of calculations that are being made when you have 10+ players with 100's of troops... it's a lot. I bet we'll see similar requirements fron Total War as well this gen

[unclebear]

All CIV games had always and forever shall be CPU intensive. Even When CIV6 came out in 2016, it already recommend 8 core CPU.

[kamm]

Wait for GTA 6 PC requirements
16 core CPU and Rtx5080 minimum for 1080p 💀

[lost]

CIV is clearly CPU bound game tho the game probably will not need all the CPU but still is gonna make gameplay smoother if you have more core

[OREO_____]

But 95% of people are only going to play at 1080p or 1440p so the requirements for 4k which is for less than 5% of people does make sense

I think devs are getting lazy with optimizing their games. Remember when pokemon games ran on 15MB cards? Theres no reason a game like Civilization should need a 4070 and 16 cores. The game should not be even close to that demanding.

[eroracountnotfound]

A lot of this is probably because they don't want to optimize there game and figure "eh they wanna play they'll get better equipment"

[fire]

They really want you to use the i9-14900k with 24 cores now that it isn't unstable anymore lol

Monster hunter wilds requirements are a 4060 for 60 fps on 1080p with frame gen...

[ZXRGRZ]

Zack. We had enough of Gaming Requirements in 2024

[syedhaiderhussainrizvi]

Zack, im still waiting on a ryzen 4070 3d print. The eager fans are waiting...

[jfygt]

The upcoming Red Dead Redemption 1 port for PC stated that the recommended GPU is a RTX 2070, which is insane for a 13 year old game.

[ryanwilliams]

Yep, check out the mh wilds recommended specs. They stated a 6700xt should get 60fps @ 1080p MEDIUM WITH FRAME GEN AND UPSCALING 👀👀👀

[MVPMTKING]

Zach should do a part 2 on this video explaining WHY 16 is reccomended, its a game big on simulation of hundreds of Ai and player actions per turn. It saying 16 cores is rec. Is normal and can even be a good thing, it means the game engine can scale CPU usage upwards to be closer to 100% usage like GPUs do, meaning less bottleneck where games today use like 100% GPU and 25% of CPU which honestly kinda sucks a lil.

[alpooop]

That’s odd. I checked Steam, and they mentioned a low-tier CPU, the Ryzen 3600X, as recommended, along with an RTX 2060 GPU. So, when we launch the game in 4K, the pressure will be on the GPU, not the CPU. So why is a more powerful CPU required?.

[UltraVegito-]

Ryzen 4070 still solos Civ 7 negative diff at infinite multiversal times over

[thatfriendfromfardistanc-qsww]

The fact that is minimum requirements not the Recommended .
Man this is really setting up!
