????

Min is a r7260x and recommend is a rtx480

Thats about 1.6tflops vs 5tflops.

That is not "barley any higher"
In terms of graphics yes it's higher, Recommended is on par with Xbox One X GPU (RX 480) though which is unlike most Windows 10 games Microsoft publishes.

I could be wrong but I remember Sea of Thieves having 16 GB memory and an i7 for recommended spec (far above Xbox One X spec).

I love when recommended requirements are a GTX 1060. I have a consistent rule-of-thumb for games that have a 1070 for their recommended hardware; they may be deservingly demanding, but they're so often just not optimized. That's super simplistic, but it's been sound for AD 2018.

I think it's a mistake to not list the minimum internet requirement for a game heavily emphasizes on Cloud destruction. If something went wrong in the multiplayer mode, people will want to know if it's the server or the ISP's fault.

You would of been correct in saying the ram and CPU is not much higher.

If you talk about specs, not every hardware component has to be greatly more powerful for the spec to be greatly more powerful.

Your post I replied to was just an incorrect statement.

MS games are optimized very well. Not blizzard tier, but 2nd best for me.

Am I wrong thinking the 1X gpu is a 580 and the PRO is a 480?

I have a RX 580 so I don't know if that's better or worse than what they're asking for here.

Weird to put this out so early when the game isn't out for like three months. Beta announcement incoming?
