Hi DF. Great video with interesting thoughts on recommended specs. Thanks for selecting my question for this DF weekly and having taken the time to answer it. Highly appreciated! By the way, Cr4zyJoe is my gamer tag since my teenage years. Never changed it. I guess I was more "hardcore" back then :D

Those Forspoken system requirements are interesting on my end, though I have no real intention of playing the game I do wonder how it would run on my "Its complicated" setup with 5600X, 16GB RAM, PCI 4.0 speed SSD (First DirectStorage PC game too) but constrained by my GTX 1060 card that's had an extended lifespan because the GPU market is has been so bad the last few years. What difference would adding an additional 16GB add to things as well.

sorry for not mentioning which CPU I got in my question to DF weekly. Got a 5800x 3d. Will I get a meaningful performance uplift in rt heavy games with a 13900k? Often using either DLAA or DLSS quality in rt games and almost always use DLSS 3 when available since it reduces CPU stutter by a lot.

I loved the last question. I really enjoyed you guys talking about going to trade shows and little stories about games that you normally wouldn't hear. I would love some more of that. That is very interesting to me.

That would be interesting (to know how it performs on your largely modern setup, apart from that 1060). I bet it would surpass 720p/30, unless the game is really launching in a bad way.
