I have a feeling the reason they are listing these requirements so high is that they are not using DLSS\FSR, which people are about to find out you now need to use.

I'm disappointed that it (so far?) doesn't have XeSS.

Intel's version of DLSS? It's CPU bound.

What an amazing game, this deserves the PC treatment. It is amazing on PS5, can only imagine it on PC. It is a hard game without a doubt but so rewarding at the same time. Elden Ring meet 3D Rouge like bullet hell! An awesome experience.
