I don't know man, it looks like another unoptimized game...

They don't seem to realize that core managing is done better in W11 than in W10

Is this proven? I'm not using Windows, so just asking out of curiosity.

The linked page isn't actually proving your statement being true. It just explains in theory. Which was my point, if there are benchmarks that prove this undeniably being true. Especially in context to gaming. If a game is not fully utilizing multithreading technology, then it wouldn't much benefit from the better ThreadDirector. Maybe this game doesn't benefit from it much.

Intel Thread Director has been backported to Windows 10, and it wouldn't affect AMD CPUs anyway. Windows 10 has shown slightly better performance in games compared to Windows 11 in many tests.

  • expected quality settings: (Low|Medium|High|Ultra) check
  • expected resolution: (720p|1080p|1440p|2160p) check
  • expected fps: (30|60|60|60) check

Good list. Too many specs forget about these basic information. But what about the "NETWORK: High-speed Internet connection"? I assume a connection is required while playing, because of some anti cheat or DRM? And why is High-speed connection required to play the game? Is no offline play possible?

The game seems it will be always-online. That is a bummer considering to what happened to the OG The Crew

I've been PC gaming for coming up to 40 years now and I can say it's always been like this. It's just what it is. The new games require huge amounts of hardware and that's okay.

They're pushing the envelope and you might not be able to play it yet, but one day you'll be playing it on your phone, or on your toothbrush.

These are hardly surprisingly high System requirements, at least if the game looks the part. Achieving 1080p60 at medium settings on an RTX 2080, which performs pretty much on par with an even older flagship card (1080 Ti) sounds about right.

CPU requirements aren't that out of place either, and I doubt you'll actually need a 14900K for 60 FPS.

For a game from 2024 this looks very standard to me. Assuming this is correct I'd get about the performance I would expect from my hardware.
