Patch Notes and PC System Specs

You can always sell your old RAM for some cash, besides I just answered her question, she did not mention anything about costs etc. 

I think I am good but verification is always nice.

Here is my desktop;

Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz
Ram 12GB
Radeon R9 280X

My laptop;

Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz
Ram 16GB
GeForce GTX 970M

I paied 850 € for the gtx1080 and for the predator X34 the guy from the shop told me he will call me monday for the exact price because at saturday their supplier is closed but he tipped me it will be around 1200-1300 €

That's still quite a bit higher than US prices (starts at around $600, which is 568€ as of now); but it's comparable to prices in Turkey, which is surprising to me. In the past these things used to be obscenely more expensive; I believe consoles & console games still are, due to unreasonable tax rates.

I have the following setup:

64-bit Windows 10
AMD FX-8350 8-core 4,01 GHz
8 GB RAM (going to upgrade to 16)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (two of them) SLI

Will this be alright?

If the game will support SLI it will be more than alright
If not, probably low-medium settings.

Games are designed for consoles, therefore games are designed for shitty pcs is a false equivalence.

For one thing, PCs require quite a bit more horsepower to run a game on top of everything else they have to keep a check on, compared to consoles that come with extremely streamlined, minimal OSs.

Also, because games are usually written with consoles in mind, they're ported to Windows/Linux/Mac, etc., which involves, at the very least, writing some sort of communication layer between whatever graphics API the console is using, and the operating system of the PC. Sometimes they even need to translate calls to the graphics API, e.g. from directx to opengl. That job, however, is almost always done in a hurry, and is sometimes outsourced to people who may not even be 100% competent. The result is inefficient code; so the user has to throw more resources at it to make it run on par with weaker consoles.

The download is initiated manually. The game automatically appears in the 'library' once purchased, but you need to download it yourself.

There might be an option for automatic downloads (I can't check now); but I'm certain it's not the default.

Excellent, thanks for responding.

The flagship Ryzen processors launch in less than a week (official release is March 2nd), at this point you might as well wait. It'll probably take a few weeks for any universal price shifts for off-the-shelf parts, but the used market will probably see changes fairly quickly.

Quick question about that list (so I can understand how to "read" it): How much of a difference in the passmark should there be before an upgrade is worthwhile (as opposed to throwing away money for a marginal upgrade)? For example, the recommended card (GeForce GTX 1060) is in the high 8,000 range. Would that mean it's not really worth upgrading any of the cards within the 8,000 bracket?

Yeah, anything within that bracket would be a fairly marginal upgrade.
