007 First Light dev admits it messed up PC specs announcement
"To run the James Bond adventure at in 1080p at 60 fps, IOI initially said you'd need to have a rig with at least 32GB of RAM and a GPU with 12GB of VRAM. The developer blamed an "internal miscommunication" which led to it sharing an older version of the specs. One of the recommended GPUs in the original version was an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which has 8GB of VRAM - not enough to meet the supposed recommended VRAM settings."
"It seems a little odd to think that it took IOI over a week and an enormous pile of negative press and online reaction before addressing the inconsistency (not to mention the demand for 32GB of RAM for relatively modest 1080p, 60 fps performance). The studio says it updated the specs after "a thorough re-examination and additional testing.""
An initial specification release for 007 First Light listed unusually high requirements including 32GB RAM and 12GB VRAM, conflicting with listed GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti which has 8GB. Community-flagged inconsistencies and additional testing prompted a revision of the requirements. Recommended VRAM was lowered to 8GB and system RAM to 16GB, and minimum CPU information was corrected. Minimum specs for 1080p at 30 fps are Intel Core i5 9500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD RX 5700, or equivalent. Recommended specs for 1080p at 60 fps are Intel Core i5 13500 or Ryzen 5 7600 with RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT.
