    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

      With that said, I’ve no clue what this game’s requirements are

      GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080
      CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5800X / Intel Core i7-12700
      RAM: 32GB
      OS: Windows 10 64-bit / Windows 11 64-bit
      Storage: 150GB NVMe SSD
      

      (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

        An equivalent AMD card would probably be cheaper

        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
