The game was tested on an i5-2400 and it ran fine (minimum of 30 FPS; not sure what the GPU was, or game resolution). For Early Access it was decided to list higher tier CPU, to be safe (apparently not as much of an issue on the AMD side, possibly related to the market share difference).
Any chance you went the same route with Nvidia GFX cards? The GTX 1050/tis for instance are amongst the most popular cards in the Steam surveys, for instance (the GTX 1050ti occupies spot #2 behind the GTX 1060). Yet technically, they are somewhat slower than what is listed as the minimum despite being newer. I'm going to test the game this week on a GTX 1050ti either way.
