While I'm not one to spend any time complaining about perceived improvements to graphics or a lack thereof, I will toss my hat in the ring and say that the system requirements for the best video settings are not what I'd call expected. The game ate my i7 for breakfast, pushed my GPU harder than For Honor, but was completely reasonable in memory usage. Anyone using an i5 or quad core in general is going to end up with a small bottleneck at peak times, and my GTX 1060 provided what I'd call an "upper-playable experience" averaging 45 FPS. Definitely not quite enough power for solid frame rates at max settings, I refused to back down from Epic quality and had a perfectly playable experience despite it. RAM and VRAM usage was not too dissimilar to For Honor, so basically, anyone wanting to play this with maximum pretties, and it's still not quite as pretty as For Honor, is going to at least need a midrange system. The game needs some optimization for sure; whether we see that from the devs or graphics card manufacturers is a question I can't answer.
