The PC version of 007 First Light requires lots of expensive RAM and VRAM to run at recommended settings
"The company recommends 32GB of RAM and 12GB of VRAM. In a normal world, this wouldn't be news, as modern NVIDIA GPUs certainly have more than enough VRAM. However, we live in a world where AI companies gobble up lots of memory. This has caused newer cards to tick up in price, with more hikes to come. Older cards like the RTX 3070 just won't cut it, as that one ships with 8GB of VRAM."
"However, mostly everyone will be able to play the game at minimum settings. It requires just an NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD RX 5700 and an Intel Core i5 9500K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500. Players must have 16GB of traditional RAM and 8GB of VRAM. It's worth noting that both the recommended and minimum specs are for running the game in 1080p. The company hasn't announced anything for 4K settings, so it must be pretty bad on the VRAM front."
IO Interactive lists minimum and recommended PC specifications for 007 First Light, calling for 32GB of RAM and 12GB of VRAM at recommended settings. Recommended CPUs include Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600, and the game requires about 80GB of storage. Minimum 1080p settings require NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD RX 5700, Intel Core i5-9500K or Ryzen 5 3500, 16GB RAM and 8GB VRAM. Rising GPU and RAM prices driven by AI demand may make meeting recommended specs costly. The game will include NVIDIA DLSS 3 with Multi Frame Generation for improved performance.
