Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart PC Specifications Listed
- Thread starter jon bones
- Start date
No SSD and relatively low RAM requirements were not what I was expecting. I was thinking either or.
Stuttering is just par for the course for PC ports nowadays. Probably unrelated to SSD lol.
Very Low textures likely take up a fraction of the space/memory to load. This means they could fit more assets into RAM. The game essentially used the fast ssd as a RAM disk so if you alleviate the RAM capacity constraints it eliminates the need for the bespoke ssd RAM disk solution. Literally every other set of settings requires an SSD. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.
Not entirely surprised. There are obvious benefits to SSD and that's going to be the best way to play but I can't say it felt like R&C:RA was doing anything that would be impossible without a SSD.
Of course it was marketed as if it was not possible without the SSD, but in the end I think it just gave them more time and flexibility to fulfil their vision without needing to invest in the tech, too much. Tests with slower SSDs on PS5 also showed that it was no problem.
I think the minimum specs might not give you a smooth experience frame time wise. In order to really really profit from SSD speeds on PC you would also need to implement Direct Storage.

User warned: Platform wars
It will only be funny if the game runs smoothly without an SSD.
If it hitches and loads then it will just prove the SSD was necessary.

Those "stutters" are so minor you almost can't notice them.
Let's not pretend that just because Ratchet at 720p doesn't require it, it hasn't been a complete game changer on BOTH consoles.
Man i rmr leading up to the 2020 launch you had people absolutely hyped abour how ssds will change the game and the way we play video games forever
Yea, it's terrible how Sony claimed you needed an SSD when you don't need it at all to run it at 720p / 30fps like the PS5 does.
Digital Foundry tested R&C with an SSD that is barely above PCIe 3 speeds and it worked fine.
Lmao like people see HDD and totally gloss over the fact the settings are VERY LOW and 720p and 30fps. Like yes you can run it on a Samsung fridge doesn't remotely mean it's playable.
Yeah no mention of a particular speed is far more interesting. I guess it's not too surprising considering Digital Foundry tested a 3.6GB/s SSD in the PS5 and it worked fine.
I mean, given it's a modern PC port, it will probably stutter with or without an SSD. Of course, it is NIXXES, but I ain't taking anything for granted, modern APIs give devs way too many chances to trip over themselves.
I'm more curious if this will run at a smooth 30 FPS on the Steam Deck.
The same way Sony helped with FFXVI :)Only possible with the power of the PS5 SSD.
It's not necessarily locking you just to 720 lowest graphics on account of the hdd, it's just that minimum specs are for very old and weak hardware overall of which the hdd is just one factor.
I look forward to the inevitable digital foundry test video.
Curious how it'll hold up against the PS5 visuals, going by the specs I think the PS5 is doing some impressive stuff for its price (still).
Nontheless, Nixxes is delivering! Those CPU recommendations, making use of all dem cores.
I think steam deck owners also have an ease of mind now :p
edit; of course console like the ps5 are target platforms to which developers tune the visual fidelity to (e.g. lower resolution reflections with less details or bounces), lower density of fur etc etc against the vague and general system requirement specs for "Amazing Ray Tracing or High". So it's hard to do an apple's to apple's comparison if said options are not available.

those are because of the cpu / gpu, as they seem to scale pretty linearly according to that image.
ssd is still recommended for 720p30, so its likely to do with stutters.
I think this was expected, at least by me. Requiring a SSD just seems like a bad idea. If they can get the game running well without a SSD, then that just means more gamers can enjoy the game.
PC isn't a console, there is more than 1 way to get these games running on PC. I know SSD have been around for an extremely long time on pc, but why require one when you don't have to.
Still looking forward to how it runs on pc, and if ssd makes any difference on a high end pc. The ssd is still recommended, so hopefully the experience isn't that bad without one.
