Stop whining and moaning about system spec requirements.

I'll update the OP title. I left a \rant at the end of my OP but it may be hard to spot.

I know this is a forum, Otto, and we sure need to nag about the same things, like system requirements, over and over again, right?

Why are some people so stressed out about it though? Can't you wait until the game is released and try it on your current rig first and then decide whether to upgrade or not? Also, system specs aren't always 100% correct but rather a guideline for suggested hardware. Show some patience, I'm sure they will release the "almighty" specs ASAP.

yes we need to since most ppl are not "richies" with latest rigs...its normal they are worried....

I'm not rich either. Still using a 775 rig here and she runs steady and true.

I even get around 60FPS in RoF with most of the bells and whistles on, with the exception of cities, which drop to 45FPS on occation. And RoF is no easy task for an old beater.

Well, the suggestion to use the Igromir spec as a minimum sounds good, but other than that, why not wait and see? This forum will be full of posts day one of persons sharing their experiences, be sure

Do like Oleg said and wait until the release before buying a new rig... Being a developer myself I guess much of the work now is optimisation so they probably don't know it themselves now. Every day they hope to find the magic trick that increases the fps 30 percent with the same quality. That's what you do the last months when all features work without major bugs... Squash bugs and find smart solutions to improve the performance.

I sit on a rather old rig (Core 2 duo 3.3, GTX275, 6gb ram) and guess it will work... If not I am pretty sure a new graphics card will be enough to give me the fps needed to enjoy it...
