PC System Requirements speculation

This says the min requirements are:

Processor:
Intel: i3-560 @3.3 GHz
AMD: Phenom II X4 805

GPU:
Nvidia:
Geforce GTX 650 Ti
AMD:
Radion HD 6850

VRAM: 1 GB
RAM: 4 GB

HDD: 55GB

DX11
Windows 7 64

Its currently in their system:

A couple of cards / driver setups experience some sort of DX crashes. The game runs fine for me, too - until it randomly decides to crash.

They're making shit up

GPU with 1 GB VRAM as minimum?

Does anyone have actual evidence that these guesses about system specifications are any more than just guesses?

The spec requirements haven't been listen yet, but I would worry about that 520mx

If you ran dragon age: inquisition i'd say you'd have a shot, but at very low settings

Things in bold are wrong.

All we know is what they are telling us, which is that they are benching the game with a very high end processor and a GTX 970. Based off that they are giving us estimates of what the min requirements should be and giving a rundown of what they think will give X performance. It is, however, very possible that they somehow know the min requirements already.

Agreed.

Far as i know, Andromeda will use the same version of Dice's graphics engine (Frostbite) used on DA:I, so the requirements wont differ too much one from another. Thing is that DA:I was terrible optmized AT LAUCH. After it was patched a couple of times, the performance increased a lot. I can run it with my 970 @1080 all maxed out and it never drops below 60fps even in crowded-open-detailed environments. Star Wars Battlefront also uses the same graphics engine and is very well optimized. BF1 takes advantage of a slightly updated version of Frosbite and is very good optmized as well.

A good 4gb graphics card (or even the 3gb gtx 780) should be enough to sustain Andromeda with 60fps on 1080p and High quality when paired with 8gb ram and anything less than 5yo for processor.

To know what would it take to run it maxed out is a little more tricky, since it depends mainly on the Anti-Alias methods that Bioware will implement on the game... FXAA is light but outdated. MSAA is kinda heavy when is set up @8x and is not that pretty either. TXAA is beautiful but heavy AF. SMAA i think nowadays is the best on the looks/performance relation. But there is a lot of new kinds of AA so will have to wait and see.

But yeah i think the midrange gpus will be able to achieve good results... dont think the game will be very demanding
