My rig is too far behind. I'd have to dump way more than I can afford into it. Kinda disappointing tbh.
There is a minimum requirement. What are your specs? Or if you have a console?
I'm running at 16 gb ram, a decade old video card, an older hdd, and would need to either switch to Windows (hell no), or hope that it's going to be fully functional on Linux. The last one is an easy fix, really. I could afford an ssd and use whatever distro it works well on. But the ram and new video card are way outside my budget. Fixed income sucks lol.
I can't justify that for one game when my main rig isn't even used for gaming often any more since my arthritis got worse. Tbh, the only thing I play on it is Baldur's gate 2 lol. It's mainly my desktop writing rig nowadays. And I've switched to laptop (an old ThinkPad) for anything but major editing where I need the bigger screen.
Any option to make it work is going to end up at least 500 for me. No way am I dropping that when everything I have works fine for anything except one game.
@southsamurai @Hairyblue NVIDIA GeForce Now? I’m planning to play it there.
I guess you gave to have a very fast Internet connection for Nvidia GeForce NOW. Like fiber?
The minimum speed requirement is 15Mbps for 720p and 25Mbps for 1080p (at 60 FPS). For higher resolutions/FPS it's around 45-50Mbps.
See the system requirements on their website.
@Hairyblue @ThayWizGwar @southsamurai No necessarily Fiber. But to get some decent experience at least 30 Mbps and no more than 50ms of latency.
