And what about 4k? 🙂

You own the BFG of video cards, don't worry 😀

I can understand GTX 770 4GB for 720p @ 60fps vs GTX 1060 6GB for 1080p @ 60fps but R9 290 4GB as a minimum recommended for 720p gaming @ 60fps and RX 470 4GB recommended for 1080p @ 60fps... o_O
Makes no sense, R9 290 despite it's "old" for sure it's faster card compared to RX 470. Yes, RX 470 is newer, it consumes less power, temps are lower... but still R9 290 wipes the floor with RX 470, it's 5% to 20% faster in everything. Probably R9 380/380X 4GB would be much more reasonable choice for 720p @ 60fps.
edit.
wait...wait...wait....haven't seen this: R9 290 4GB for 720p @ 60fps on LOW settings, but RX 470 4GB for 1080p @ 60fps on HIGH settings. Hahahahaha.. . (choking) ....someone there in Bethesda who wrote this specs eiter has been left without a coffe this morning or this game has been badly optimised for older Radeon cards.

Yeah it is bit of an odd thing, the AMD cards should run fine. since it is using Vulcan API. These spec sheets should always be taken with a heap of sand anyway they are rarely correct and often another way to be like buy our new GPU's or new CPU's to run the games 😀DDDD
asking for a 3770 as a minimum is also odd, i'm sure sandy bridge would also run perfectly fine not to mention other CPU's that are not i7's would run this game, if it's based on the same doom ID6 engine that even a switch can run 😀

I wouldn't take the requirements seriously.
Look at the footnotes on the new AMD drivers 😀
Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of October 20th, 2017 on the 8GB Radeon RX 580, on a test system comprising of Intel i7 7700X CPU (4.2 GHz), 16GB DDR4-3000 Mhz system memory, and Windows 10 x64 using the game Wolfenstein II on the ultra nightmare preset. PC manufacturers may vary configurations, yielding different results. At 2560x1440, the Radeon RX 580 scored 74 FPS with Radeon Software 17.10.1 whereas the Radeon RX 580 scored 77.3 FPS with Radeon Software 17.10.2. Performance may vary based on use of latest drivers.

Almost 80 FPS on the highest settings is pretty good though, although overall gains between 10.1 and 10.2 aren't that high but AMD already works closely with Bethesda and the game has been supported for a few driver releases now. 🙂
(Or it has a profile at least.)
EDIT: Which I guess goes in hand with the games requirements not being all too demanding, whoops.

excluding i5 owners will surely hurt sales.

I'm fairly sure the game will run on i5 setups just fine. Maybe 4 thread CPUs will be more of a bottleneck but still.
Games have had i7's as recommended CPUs for years, most of which struggle to use even 4 threads properly... only the very latest gen of games seem to be properly and truly multithread aware (use more than 4 threads).

I don't know how many people actually listen to these specs and take them seriously anymore or if we go by what steam fourms do, most seem to never look in the first place and just buy the game hoping it will run in some way or form.
considering this is the same as the Doom engine (maybe a few tweeks here and there) and is also coming out on the switch, this game should be able to run on an i3. R3 + GPu combo (1050ti/460) at 720p mind you
Considering the rx 460 on doom got around 60~ and the 1050ti got around 75~ ... unless they really screwed the Vulkan ID engine badly to the point where they broke it, i don't see this being an issue to run on most fairly modern systems

These requirements proofs the fact that CPU load is static.

Of course that is a bullshit, it will run nicely on 290 too, but if you check Techpowerup charts for 290 and 470, and take into account that the december Crimson drivers got a ~10% boost to RX480, it should be the same for RX470. In that case, the RX470 should be a bit faster than the 290.

Damm those are some Hefty requirements wow.

I hope this just Bethesda early april fool joke as we are NOT LAUGHING ONE BIT here.

assuming it's only 4xx series that got a boost and not 2xx and 3xx as well...
Then again, as someone mentioned, even the weaker cards produce very good framerates using Vulkan API (both nV and AMD).
If you are a 120+ fps gamer, well, good luck 🙂
Well, 7870 (aka r270x) isn't a pinnacle of modern tech to say the least :P No offense meant. You might consider an upgrade for like...100$ ? Get the 1050Ti and you're golden with minimal investment. (I could have said get 470 or 570 but I doubt you can get those for ~150$)

Wondering the same thing here, I'm still on a Sandy so wondering how that would run 🙁 , hope it does not mean that it won't run on a CPU that is below spec.
Noisiv
Still reading too much into pc requirements. Same like into preorder pricing.
Nothing ever changes 🙂

if it can run ultra on an FX9xxx CPU (heavily factory overcloked 8xxx), it can run on i3 2100 as well...SandyB. i5 2500 is solidly faster than an FX 8xxx in gaming. Overclok it to 4GHz + it will outrun fx9xxx and catch up with stock core i5 4xxx, 6xxx...if not overtake it. Again, in most of gaming.

Your 2600K is 4 core / 8 thread CPU, don't you forget that, you're safe bro, no doubt. If you still run that thing at stock put some decent cooler on the top and OC it to 4.4 - 4.6 HT. Still have one in my personal (rarely used) gaming rig @ 4.6GHz HT and that thing still smashes anything that I throw underneath. One day years from now I'm gonna build memorial monument for that old beast in my backyard 😀 and it'll be still alive and kickin'.
My bet is that any i5, even first gen, with a bit if OC is gonna run this game just fine, maybe even i3's with 2c/4t as someone above already said.
Lately (past few years) most game requirements made by publishers are full of crap.

What was that bethesda employee smoking lol. This is a 60fps console game, cards like the r9 290 mop the floor with the ps4, these things should be running the game @120fps on high settings (usually console settings) at 1080p.

Core i7 as a minimum... sort of takes me back to the good ol' days, when games like Crysis would bring even high-end systems down to their knees. To be honest, I sort of miss those days - most games nowadays seem to be geared towards the mainstream; this is great for sales and for most gamers, but makes a high-end gaming rig sort of redundant / unnecessary. Very few games seem to push the technology envelope these days, and upgrading isn't as necessary as it used to be - frankly, if it wasn't for my computing needs, I'd be more than happy using my old 4790K for the next half-decade.
I assume TNC will still run fine on most mid-range systems though, and that these specs are just guidelines. FPS games have traditionally been GPU-bound anyways so as long as you have a powerful GPU you should be fine... probably.
