I'm just gonna post my PC specs:

i5-4690K stock speed

Gigabyte Z97MX

MSI GTX 970 4GB

Samsung Evo M.2 850 500GB

Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB

It runs Civ 6 at 60 fps at the highest settings. NMS 60 fps 90% of the time. FIFA 17 - 60 fps. Fallout 4 - 60 fps. I lock my fps at 60 every game, V-sync on.

If I upgrade anything it'll be the video card. 1080 if the price is closer to $300, otherwise 1070.

This makes me concerned:

50 fps at the highest settings on 1080?.....

My PC that I registered with via beta is still the same. I will probably update it to Win10 within the next few months, though. I have no real plans to update.

My work PC is now better than my home PC. Even though the new PC has a Xeon 1650 V4 in it that ate up 1/3rd of my budget and offers mediocre gaming performance, I was still able to give it a good SSD (950 Pro M.2) and decent GPU (RX 480).

Home:

Core I7 Haswell

R9-280

16GB

Yeaaaaaahhh.... Good ole DX12. I will be sorely disappointed if your GTX 970 or my current R9-280 can't handle this game at 60 FPS.

A question for all of you. How many only have 1GB of ram on your video card?

My daughter's PC only has a 1GB card, and her laptop only has a 1GB card.

I didn't think this would be relevant to mention when I signed up because I had thought my daughter and I would be playing SuperMelee on the same PC.

Are you saying I am going to need two modern gaming rigs in order to play a 1vs1 spaceship shooter?

^ I'd think just a video card. CPU power is irrelevant in gaming at this point (unless it's a console port).

Would you prefer the game to have loading screens and you don't have to upgrade anything or smooth seamless experience and you'd have to shell out $250 for a new card?

I cannot update the video card in her laptop, and her PC wouldn't support a new card very well since her CPU and motherboard are locked at PCIe 1.0.

I would prefer to spend NOTHING ELSE to play this game. That means no extra Steam key to play against my daughter and no extra hardware to get her to a position to play.

So give me no loading screens AND local multiplayer, and I am set.

I don't think you can expect to run latest games 60fps @ 1080p on a 5+ year old hardware... That's not how the world works.

We're not talking about Crysys 3 here. We're talking about a 1v1 spaceship arcade game, some 3D aliens on a 2D background, and Super Mario Galaxy that's targeting a 3 year old console.

(Meta: Hey, they fixed strikethrough! Progress.)

EDIT: And that's all I am going to say on the subject. I have nothing else to add to the conversation.

I've edited my specs in my original post. I have systems with 3GB, 2GB and 1GB.

I do! still works with every game i have so far, so i will not update until really necessary, it's very expensive ;(
