ummmm what's all this 30 FPS business about
Also, LOL @ 3700X being recommended instead of 3600
I'm old enough to remember when games didn't need anything more than a 3600
and by old enough, I mean late 2019

Baseline game development is 8c/16t now. Welcome to a new generation.
I honestly wonder if they meant to put the i5-8600 as the minimum CPU because there is no way a 4c/4t CPU is going to hold up.
The low-powered quad core CPUs in the Dash F15 are going to be a serious bottleneck in the near future, as minimum specs transition to 6-core CPUs.
I'm hesitant to call it a solid purchase if you are keeping it long term.
Fully expect the game to run at 60 fps in all these modes on specified h/w with the possible exception of RT High.
The biggest Intel chip they are recommending only has 8c/8t. I really doubt this has anything to do with the core/thread count on consoles. They are also recommending a 6c/6t chip for like half of these presets...
Any alternative with similar power without breaking much more bank? My budget is around 1500 max right now
They recommended the lowest end 8-core chip on each side, back to a certain generation.
I don't take the specs literally, it's more of a guidance from which we can make inferences. To me it says you need at least 6c/6t but 8c/16t is the ideal.
Of course these core counts have everything to do with the new gen consoles.
Well, the full industry wide NDAs are up on the 26th, then we will have the full picture and know prices on all of the available laptops. You will for sure be able to swing a powerful machine with an 8-core Ryzen CPU for $1500.
Keep track of and come hang out with us in the Gaming Laptop recommendation thread, as I and others are constantly posting the latest news and sharing recommendations.
Drop a post with exactly what you are seeking and we'll find the best fit.
Yeah that has me kind of puzzled tbh. The whole list is just weird for a lot of reasons.
The emphasis on AMD GPUs has all signs leaning towards a hard no.
1st generation raytracing on AMD GPUs is super duper expensive.
It will according to Nvidia

Well I have the 9700K and RTX 2080, plus only game at 1080p.With DLSS sprinkled on top, I'm expecting miracles.
The Medium Will Support RTX and DLSS on PC, Ray Tracing on Xbox Series X (dualshockers.com)

Nah we're good:

With this being a Bloober game expect 30fps with dips. Their games never run as well as they should.
you should probably wait until people have actually benchmarked the game
jfc, ultra at 4k is literally my rig XD. i79700k/rtx 2080 S. Too bad I don't have a 4k monitor. Will stick to Xbox Series X and the big screen me thinks.
At 4k, with highest raytracing settings, and with DLSS off. What did you expect?
" GeForce RTX gamers can explore The Medium's creepy areas and mind-bending twists on reality with real-time ray-traced reflections and shadows. And so you can enjoy these spooky ray-traced visuals at smooth frame rates, Bloober Team's also adding support for NVIDIA DLSS at launch on January 28th. Take a look at both technologies in action in our new, exclusive RTX ON trailer: "

I mean, the engine is basically running two games at once in a lot of cases from the looks of it. It's no surprise that this next gen only game is gonna be intensive as hell.
I don't see how. Like not sure what you're expecting for a game running on a system with an modern Zen2 based 8C/12T processor and a low'/mid RDNA2 GPU to translate to on PC lol.
I don't think people realise what the game actually is, and are just simply reacting to the chart specs as they are. People also need to remember we've moved into next-gen now, low core/thread count CPUs will not cut it for PC games alongside GPUs that are going to get thrashed with RTX increases. More developers will utilise the XSX/PS5 specs and expect PC users to have similar setups for the real whizbang graphic settings.
This doesn't usually happen in a new gen, as for the most part consoles are playing catch up but as well PC users have been able to enjoy stagnant specs thanks to especially last gen running so long. Now we have consoles with some beefy parts in them, so developers are 100% going to utilise that to the extreme. Of course add on top optimisation difficulties some studios notoriously have, and you'll see developers hamfist PC performance by requiring higher specs.
Looks like my recent build could run RT High settings, but I honestly wasn't planning on playing this... however, I've been playing games that have Ray Tracing so I can get some nice eye candy and properly utilize my hardware. Ghostrunner is a good example of a game I wasn't planning on playing but decided to buy for the fact it has Ray Tracing, and I ended up really enjoying it... So I guess we'll see about this.
Yeah, I am so glad DLSS exists. It's funny how I didn't care at all about DLSS when I got my GPU, but now it's the defining feature of my 2070 and what will make it last, with this game being one. Of course my CPU is a 6600k which is the bottleneck in everything lol.
Yeah, I think a lot people are shell shocked by how demanding games are this early in a console new generation, lol. That's what happens when said machines are very powerful from the get go, and aren't playing catch up; developers and studios aren't just going to sit on their hands when the hardware is there for them to use. I expect most games now going forward that are cross platform on PC, will have similar charts to The Medium. Plus, the game is stunning from what we've seen in videos; I can only imagine how it translates to an in person experience.
That said, I'm very excited to see how my rig will handle this beast.
Uhhh PS4/XONE was like the only generation where the consoles were woefully underpowered
Even this gen, we are not seeing anything close to as insane as the X360/PS3 which were more powerful than what you could really even feasibly get on PC when they released.
If the game comes out and runs like shit on PC for how it looks/what it's doing, especially compared to the console versions, people absolutely can complain about the required specs.

I'm going to try this out on Game Pass on Series X, kind of preparing myself for the worst. Observer on XB1X was one of the most unstable games I've ever played in terms of performance, just swinging wildly from 60FPS to single digits every time you moved the camera or crossed a room.
XSX is 8C/16T and one core (two threads) is reserved for the OS (i.e. 7C/14T)
