We are truly entering a time in gaming where it feels like optimizations are a thing of the past, and the specifications needed to run 007 First Light are nuts. Thanks to the rise of DLSS, FSR and XeSS we’re seeing more and more AAA-level developers use them as a crutch for performance, at times setting them as an actual requirement to get the games actually playable.

And now it’s getting worse.

IO Interactive this week put up the required PC specifications for running 007 First Light, and you might want to be sitting down for this. To run it at just 60FPS with only a 1080p resolution they’re saying you need at a minimum 32GB RAM. Really? 32GB in this economy? And 12GB VRAM too. At least on the GPU / CPU side it’s reasonable.
