(Admittedly this is the 4k60 requirements, but the "minimum" specs are for 720p30 with lowest possible settings and for reasonable settings they're demanding 24 gigs of ram, and a recent upper midrange GPU.)
Yeah, it seems like a shockingly unoptimized game, there are tons of games with as good or better looking graphics and much lower requirements to hit 4k60.
32 gigs of ram seems like it's going to be the standard amount for DDR5 systems, but this is a bit ambitious for right now, coming out of a hardware shortage and in a massive recession.
But, even more insane, their like "normal" requirements to play at 1440p30 (yeah, I tooootally want to play at 30 fps) call for 24 gigs of ram, an amount of ram that would result in you not being in dual channel mode, so your system will run like shit.
I googled an RTX 2060 and got a link to a Finnish computer store selling it for about 300 euros. That's not the newest and most powerful card, sure, but the vast majority of PC gamers aren't using cutting edge hardware anyway
I would assume American prices are cheaper too. The thing to remember here is that if you're targeting 1080p you don't really need a monster card anyway
Depending on what you're emulating you might not need all that much grunt from your GPU anyway. Upscaling PS3 and 360 games is still apparently quite demanding though
You're in decent luck then. MSRP on the latest card generation is insanely high but it's because the makers were chasing the crypto market, which ate shit so all the last gen cards that scalpers were holding are flooding the market, never mind all the hardware that's no longer crypto profitable.
Probably not thousands for the video card. You can get a midrange one for 300-500*. With that said, I've no clue what this game's requirements are
*You can also luck out by buying used. Only the most annoying sort of people get the 3000 dollar cards

Well okay then.
Guess I'll just play some more old games :shrug-outta-hecks:

I thought video cards where a thousand dollars now for entry level cards thanks to the chip shortage or w/e

An equivalent AMD card would probably be cheaper
Oh good, I actually want to build a new pc when I ever get a job and that's within a budget.

I was actually thinking about doing the Ryzen cpu/gpu combo for what I do which is mostly emulation.

The brand new ones are, but that is because typically because they launch the highest end cards first and then work their way down over the next year
