With the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided release happening tomorrow, Feral Interactive have released the system requirements. It will need a pretty decent rig.

It is a heavy game, I've seen plenty of reports about the Windows version requiring a beefy PC to play it reasonably well, so this isn't surprising.

Note: AMD GPUs aren't supported. The likely reason is that Mesa doesn't officially have high enough OpenGL support (the new release doesn't officially expose 4.4/4.5 yet), and it may have some performance issues to sort out.

Minimum
Intel Core i3-4130 or AMD FX8350 processor
8GB RAM
2GB Nvidia 680 graphics card (driver version 367.57).

Recommended
Intel Core i7-3770K
16GB RAM with a 6GB
Nvidia 1060 graphics card (driver version 367.57).

I will give you as much information as I can tomorrow at release on how it performs on Linux and what I think. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: liamdaweLargely depends on what cards Feral have available to test on, they won't be able to test on all cards of course.

They will also probably have performance targets to hit, so they have to set the minimum to never go below that target.

So in practice can I read "minimum requirements" as "lowest-end PC we tested on that gave acceptable performance"?
Something like that, they will have a few lower cards, but it probably didn't hit an acceptable level for their performance targets. It will likely work, and some on lower cards may enjoy it, but it won't be optimal.

Quoting: Comandante oardoAre they pairing an Intel Core i3-4130 with an AMD FX8350 processor??

Maybe can relation with single core performance

Minimum Spec doesn't mean "the game runs". Minimum Specs is the minimum hardware that gives a solid enjoyable experience throughout on low settings, in many cases people can play on under spec hardware combinations but they might experience some hitching, run on super low resolution or have other issues that mean it's not of the standard that we officially support it.

Dang, I wasn't expecting an official answer (Feral still surprises me). So I guess I'll get the game anyway, it's not my job to make it run well (it's my computer's, but it's a brave veteran soldier). I'm a mean boss.

So, maybe Feral could explain a bit on AMD? I mean, I was kind of planning to get the game and season pass, is it worth a try on mesa-git? Does it have visual glitches? Does it run in 2spf? I mean we all know that your games do not support AMD GPUs, but how bold is the "not supported" this time?

I understand that AMD gpus are unsupported. But did Feral give any indication whether AMD gpus should work with a recent enough driver version (like it was with Mad Max)?

I have a Radeon RX-480 and would really like to pick it up.

Yet another reason to kick myself over getting that RX 480 over a GTX 1060 back in September. My GTX 680 is now the minimum haha. Oh well, I'll still be interested in the game.

I have i5 [email protected] + 24GB RAM and GTX 1060 6GB. I think I am set but I have also recently got Mad Max and am really confused on which should I start first. I took nearly 3 months to complete Tomb Raider, since I don't game on daily basis.

It depends on whether you're looking for a stealth game or a shooter games (Deus Ex) or a melee combat and car game like Mad Max. Also you can beat Deus Ex in less time than Mad Max since it isn't open world so depends on what you're in the mood for.

Definitely getting this one. Should be fun!
