It’s a good thing NVIDA are only bundling Rise of the Tomb Raider with their GTX 970 cards and upwards because they don’t recommend anything slower.

Wow a GPU costing at least 7K becoming minimum .... :/

I think they mean to run it on Full settings. at least the 1st site I find looking for the requirements for the game said so.

Not even full I think. just at 1920x1080 on High (not Ultra) and then getting alt east 60fps. I think that is how I understood it. And then 980ti to play it at full

Sjoh, not sure! If it is then i want another one now! Maybe I have just need up to date with the new pricing.

Min spec according to Steam "NVIDIA GTX 650 2GB or AMD HD7770 2GB "

Well I got mine at that price. But anyway, I'm just saying, I don't actually know especially with the current rate of our currency.

Yeah i think that might then be to run the game low and barely 60fps i think

Really? What did you get? Black Friday perhaps? You struggle to get them for under 6K I see. Bought mine in Black Friday for 6500 I think. But it is a HOF

Yeah I got the same card as you afaik, GTX 970 HoF Edition.

Wow! Can't believe you got it for so cheap! That's really a bargain!!! !!

Still not exactly requiring a R7k card to play the game. I would expect to pay 7k if you want to play a game now days on "ultra".

I would expect the same ! But a 980ti costs quite a bit much more than 7K these days! =D

Weird that Nvidia are now the GPU of choice for Tomb Raider... With the previous one AMD ruled the roost with TressFX and all that jazz.

They're just bundling it, Tomb Raider still uses AMD tech (Pure Hair, New hair tech ect).

This is why they aren't in charge of the actual minimum requirements

My 750Ti should fair... Playing it in Low @480p

marketing ploy to sell more 970's

No doubt. They're saying this game is more taxing than The Witcher 3. I ran it at 1080p with high, mediums and lows and got between 40 to 50+, tanking when CPU was taking a hit.
