Anyone else upgrading their PC for the game?

[Beanbag 24]

I am thinking about getting a GTX 1070 graphics card. Right now I have the GTX 1060 which I am sure will play the game just fine but I want to get the most out of my experience. Anyone else going to be upgrading their PC for the game? If you are, what are you planning on getting?

Comparing both the 1070 gets you a benchmark of 13,286 where as the 1060  is currently getting you around 10,239. You will notice a difference but I am not sure how much of a difference. It depends on the game really and we don't have much to compare with it right now.

I was trying to find some recommendations and comparisons but not much is out yet. No one has gotten to test it and compare it on PC. I think anyone considering upgrading should wait until after the game comes out to make sure they get the kind of experience they want out of their computer.

I was considering it but I likely will end up getting it on console and console only. While I love playing on PC, you have to worry about people ruining the online gameplay. I mean I could get a copy for PC now and then one for console once multiplayer is released but I am not sure.

A friend of mine is rebuilding his entire PC based on the game and another one he plans on getting. I guess it is fine for an investment if you play exclusively on PC anyways. It is not like an upgrade would go to waste but he is going all in and upgrading to 4K and all that. I think his upgrade or "rebuild" essentially is going to cost him like $800+.

Is he just getting everything new? I mean at that point, you may as well. Anytime I change anything with mine, I end up buying a new case. I usually do upgrades every 2 years.

I mean generally, they can only speculate the specs. They have not been listed anywhere for PC performance recommendations. I will post them when/if I come across them before anyone else does.

Thanks for sharing that, where did you find the requirements? I looked on Steam and several other sites and couldn't find anything about them.

As much as I am hyped for this game, I don't think it justifies getting an upgrade for. If you intend on playing other games or making use of your upgrades elsewhere then sure, fine but keep in mind the game will be rereleased on the next gen consoles.

It was on a gaming blog. I can't recall the name of it. I did have it bookmarked but it appears to have not been saved right or accidentally removed. If I find it again I will post the link for you.

Yeah let me know, I want to read all the details. I tried searching for it again but I am not seeing it unless I am overlooking it within a larger post itself.
