Those minimums aren't that far off the recommended. Jumping up wouldn't yield much performance increases(for the money) so hopefully this game can cope with lower end systems and scale well with much higher ones, otherwise people will just moan and complain about it
Ya I thought that too.. however every company lists a stronger AMD GPU and a weaker Nvidia GPU... don't know if it's marketing and being paid but it's pretty consistent. Could just be engines generally prefer Nvidia but meh who knows
