PC System Requirements speculation

"Soon"

This was Battlefield 1's required specs. Would imagine they will be similar if not identical. Tho I'm betting older gen i5's work aswell

Edit - There's battlefield benchmarks with 2500k's , so thats a good sign

Kinda makes me wonder if there's some kind of updates with extensions or something that makes them think a newer gen cpu would be preferable.

I suppose they could be doing QA on a narrower set of cpu's and focusing on gpu testing instead tho

That is true. I remember playing some games on my old PC that i shouldn't be allowed to run according with the minimum requirements.

Strange.. When I had gtx 970 I run DAI on ultra with 50-60 fps, and gtx 970 have 4gb vram not 3gb (well more like 3,5) lol

wtf is potato masher? TW3 runs 60 FPS on PC

Since July of 2016 when I upgraded from my Haswell 4770 I've been running an X-99 based Intel 6850K, six cores @ 3.6 GHz with 32GB of DDR4@2400MHz from G.SKILL, a Samsung 950 Pro M.2 w/NVMe, a Phoenix SLI Motherboard from Gigabyte and a pair of 4GB GTX980 FTWs in 2-way SLI. I have been wanting the 1080FTW since it was released and last night went and ordered one online because it was at NCIX for well under 800 dollars CDN.....Then at 12:30 a.m. I read about all the overheating issues because of a missing thermal plate and several other malfunctions that were seemingly caused by short-sighted manufacturing. So this morning at 7:30 am I promptly canceled my order. And I have mixed feelings because I bought the 980 FTWs when they were pretty much brand new....paid over 800 for each of the between April of 2015 and March of 2016, and they've been phenomenal cards... so it's sort of a shame to get rid of them so soon. I would like to get at least another two years out of them or even run them until I just can't anymore.

On the other I really just want to make sure that I can run 'Andromeda' at 1440p with the best experience possible. Even though I get an average of 104 FPS in DAI with no tearing or other ill effects and all settings on ULTRA, I am still apprehensive about what they will call for the reqs of ME:A... I know, I know...they'll obviously recommend the 1080s or 1080TI for 4K (and maxed-out ULTRA Settings)...That's a given. But I don't play at that resolution, so I'm hoping that my pair of 980s will be more than adequate along with the rest of my system (which I paid a lot of money for just six months ago), and I don't think that either the 67 or 7700 series CPUs (personally...this is my personal opinion) are anything to write home about.

Considering my configuration...does anyone have any thoughts? Looking at BF1 (which requires a 4790 and I believe a 670) and SW:BF which requires a 6700 and GTX970....(I beat all of those requirements) I am fairly confident that I should be able to run ME:A on at least "HIGH" settings and get an avg of 50 to 60 FPS (given what I get in DAI as I said earlier)....And didn't someone from Bioware tweet earlier...something about being able to run on a GTX 745?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that "the anticipation and speculation is killing me!" All I want to know is the Sys Reqs...Post those and my anxiety and anticipation would be over with.

Anyways, thanks for reading....And I'll see you all in 600 years in 'Andromeda'

You should read through my posts I have about my system that are ITT. I have a similar system and ran some benches with fraps. I don't think you have anything to worry about @1440p with that system. 

Ofc it depends on 2 notable things:
1) Does MEA have a higher ceiling than BF1?
2) Is MEA optimized as well as BF1?

thank you so much!! you're great!

Hello again. Thank you for your reply. Now I understand why you said that you weren't keen on the M.2s; I am familiar with Linux in so far as I am aware that it relies on open sourced programming and its functionality is flexible with the many open-sourced types of softwares that can be found. I also have some understanding of how the Linux-based kernels handle file types such as DLLs or EXEs or even flash-based NAND like on the M.2 from Samsung (not unlike a Mac as Macs are Linux based)- But just as you said that is all together vastly different to the DOS-based kernel of Windows and its command line and Linux might not play nicely was Flash-based NAND and NVMe. 

Even still, I hope you get to enjoy ANDROMEDA.  A game like this should not be missed!
