Why 12GB of RAM? Do VR games significantly consumes more RAM than other games?
Doesn't make sense so far.
Hopefully because valve only develop for PC.
Other companies make games for consoles too so they need to make sure games can be ported, just developing for PC means they can push the boundaries without being held back. Like back in the late 1990s PC games always pushed what actual hardware people had.
I hope it's that... Hopefully it's not just because it's poorly optimised

And let us hope that the new iteration of consoles will allow for some seriously crazy programming for developers to stretch their power hungry finger tips.
Should have at least twelve to sixteen gigabytes of RAM in each system.... Should being the main caveat....

thats not too bad, but the usual weirdness in minimum cpu even from valve is kinda baffling, a plain quad in 2019 is quite the stuttery mess even if it holds 10fps higher averages than a ryzen 5, and this should be specially obvious at +90hz on a vr game of all things
