PC System Requirements speculation

If you want to get the best GPU and don't have problems with shelling out a lot of cash for it.
Then get 1080 or wait for 1080 Ti... its that simple.

And you also "lose" increased power consumption, heat, problems related to using SLI in games ect... I think that would speak in favor of GTX 1080.

Same here. I never had any issues wityh DA:I. I'm hoping the same holds true with ME:A.

I understand where you're coming from, but it isn't false for me. They only asked for anyone's experience with PC versus console, so I gave mine. That's all I can really do. It has been a massive headache and huge source of stress for me. I never felt this way about xbox, never felt like throwing my machine out the window because something wasn't working. I've spent hours on the phone with Dell trying to figure out why my screen went black or why the computer won't turn on. I had to replace the power supply once and didn't even realize that was the problem b/c I am not knowledgable enough to diagnose PC hardware problems; I had to sent the PC to my dad (who is retired but once worked on computers for a living) and he was able to figure out what the issue was.

Like I said, IF you are knowledgdeable about PC it may not be a problem. If you're an average person like me (smart, used PCs all my life, but doesn't really know the nitty-gritty stuff) it is a huge hassle.

For me, the mods make it worth it. I have seen videos of xbox one v. ps4 v. PC and I see little difference. If that is a big deal for someone, then obviously they should buy accordingly. As for me, the graphics are obviously a step up from my xbox 360, but i've played my brother in law's xbox one and it looks just as amazing as my PC. 

Yep. Your friend's experience with GOW4 sounds way too familiar. That's what owning a gaming PC is like for a regular person (like us lol). For me, the pay off is there; I would not have played DAI hardly at all if I didn't have mods. Same with Skyrim, same with Sims. MEA? I think it will be a great game out of the box, so I almost wish I had an xbox one just for that. If I had the funds I'd buy one right now. I just know I'll download MEA from Origin and SOMETHING will go wrong. That's just how it is.

If someone was looking at a 1080 I'd highly recommend waiting for the 1080Ti. It's just way to close to releasing. It'll be similarly priced to the 1080 but have better performance.

If you don't want to go with a 1080 then a 1070 can handle 1440p just fine.

With Vega coming out, it's not that simple.

for 60 fps: minimum: gtx 1080 8gb vram
recommended: gtx 1080ti

the graphics, lighting, shadow and particles effects in this game will require a lot of graphic processing power

LOL.. More like: minimum GTX 1050 2GB, recommended GTX 1070 8GB or even GTX 1060 6GB, but will see. 
Also knowing how well Frostbite is supporting multicore CPU's, I think people with AMD's FX should be safe too 
About system RAM I predict 4-6GB minimum and 8-12GB recommended.

Even a  1050 is too goddamn high. BF1 "requires" a GTX 660/Radeon 7850 at minimum. And realistically, it can run on hardware weaker than those.

There's no way in hell that Andromeda requires anything higher specced than Battlefield.

Consoles can't really "run" games. What they do is take a game, introduce a ton of lag, crank down the visual effects all the way down to a minimum, set the frame rate at 20 fps and the resolution at 1080p. That's how consoles run games. They completely ruin the gaming experience. I'm surprised people actually enjoy gaming on consoles.

I'm not even going to dignify this with a proper response.
