It's interesting to see the 1080 in recommended. It only started being "recommended" after 3 years of service! xd.

Time has come for gtx1080 to be a 1080p 60fps card. That said i think its very capable 1440p card still.

You say as if it was a bad thing 😀. For me, 1080p 60fps with mostly max settings is OK. Sure, RTX is out of my reach, but I'll give it time to settle.

Sarcasm. Do you know it ? Coming from old and real games i have seen them change over the years into something that is quite disturbing in what they demand of the player. Its as if every other game is designed to get players to ragequit. Mission impossible to justify their prices perhaps ? Well some still know how to do it right, i hope this one is done right.

A) Sarcasm often travels badly through text, especially when we can't even make out what you're trying to say. B) What are you talking about? Which games are done to make you ragequit? Outside of the Souls series and its clones, you still get quite enough of casual friendly games that won't tax you that much, especially if you can choose your difficulty. C) Mafia 2002 was already pretty hard at times, and you couldn't even change the difficulty there. D) Games that were hard enough to cause people to ragequit existed in much greater numbers in ye olden days that you seem to miss so much. Also, crap games existed as well. E) What does this have to do with the hardware requirements of Mafia?

I'd imagine any old game remake to be like that. You can't rewrite all the code and make it multithreaded, so old CPUs will still be sufficient. What you're going to see is a great deal of 4K textures and assets, maybe a couple of new effects. Everything CPU related (traffic, NPCs, etc) should still remain the same.

According to Digital Foundry GTX 1080 can run this game in 4K30fps High settings with no problems. Also: 'Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700" That RX eats GTX1080, looks like optimization on AMD will be bad + game is DX11 and GPU bound, oh lord it's gonna be funny and bad atm. 😀

Regarding threaded CPU, I'm pretty sure this game has nothing in common with the original. It might be using the same story and missions, but everything is entirely new (in relation to the original game). Not sure why the CPU would need to emulate gaming of 2002 simply because this is a remake. Mafia 3 is optimized for hexa-cores. I can't imagine them going backwards with this title. This isn't the same game in any thing other than name. This is more of a built from scratch re-imagining of a classic title. Unless I'm missing something. We'll know soon.

Or quite the opposit? Maybe it's running on Vulkan or DX12, and while the game code is old and "small", they just multithreaded well, and since the FX CPU-s are still very good at this, they just recommend this. Tbh, instead of 8150 I would loved to see a FX 6350.

Vulkan or DX12? Do you know how old this game is or how much work that would need? It's probably running DX9.

Mafia 3 recommended specs were capable of only 30 fps in 1080p, which is unplayable for fps game.

Its using the rebuilt engine from Mafia III that fixed all the issues the game originally had. This is a complete remake of the original game. It is not a remaster of the original game. Uses the same story, etc.
