    I installed the game to check it out. I have a very busy week so I just played through the tutorial section at the start of the game.

    Im not saying it doesn’t look go, but why does this game have such high hardware requirements?

      The minimum requirements are a freaking RX 480. How is that high? I can literally max it out with my 6650 XT on 1080p.

          The biggest requirement, imo, is probably just having an SSD for the game. There’s a LOT of pop ins and textures that just don’t load until a few minutes later. It does have a “slow HDD mode” but it hasn’t really done much from what I can see.

            That’s pretty normal for modern AAA games. There’s just a lot of texture streaming going on and that requires a lot of bandwidth that HDDs don’t have. You can be lucky if it is just blurry textures & pop in and not also strong stuttering.

              I’ve gotten away with even harder to run games on a HDD but even if it is on an SSD, I’ve found it to be inconsistent plus only BG3 acts up compared to everything else I have going.
