wanting to know what are the minimum pc required specs for BG3 EA vs. launch...
many of you have super gaming machines.
i am thinking about upgrading my PC and only video card that fits is GeForce GFX 1050 Ti given limitations of chassis and power supply.

i played DOS2 with only the integrated video card vs. dedicated with no issues.

We won't know 1.0 launch specs until close to release. Hopefully far, far lower then EA.

The GTX 1050 ti officially currently doesn't fit the bill. It's several tiers less powerful a card than the former enthusiast GTX 780 listed as minimum. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

Generally, so far the specs are pretty much onpar with comparably demanding games such as Flight Simulator 2020 or Horizon Zero Dawn. What they will look like upon release, nobody knows. Larian has been arguing that optimizing is still an ongoing process. If you look around YouTube, some are still testing both of those games on a GTX 1050 ti.

If the GTX 1050 ti won't be enough, maybe a successor card will. There are going to be new graphics cards on the market late this year and early next year. Some of them may draw little power whilst still being decent for current games, as energy efficiency so far has always been on the up with each generation, usually. At some point there will be cards much more powerful than the GTX 1050 ti whilst drawing just the same power.

The recommended cards listet all have a minimum of 6GB, the 1650 Super has 4GB. *Probably* not all on high (textures and the like).

My PC meets the listed specs, but the listing doesn't indicate what monitor resolutions will be supported. Specifically, I'd like to know whether it will support 1280x1024. I'm hopeful since DOS2 did, but I just installed another new game only to have the title run off both sides of the screen. Thanks for any information you can offer.
