These specs may seem like a lot, but they’re fairly standard for top-of-the-line games releasing now. The heightened level of quality means a beefier machine is needed, especially to run the game with ray-tracing enabled. And while it isn’t listed here, it’s important to note that the Steam page recommends an SSD. Once again, seeing as this is a top-of-the-line title, that sort of thing is to be expected. The power needed means those load times will be night and day.
