If I'm just looking for a smooth experience playing 3 characters (even in hectic situations), what kind of video card and processor should I be targeting? I have been told that I should be looking at a 2070 or 2080 for a card and a 9700k for a processor. Is that overkill?
I'd think that a 9700K and a 2070 will be sufficient for the job, but I am still not convinced that the game client is going to be able to deliver high framerates while in a large-scale battle, as the game should be mostly reliant on single-threaded CPU performance in that area. However, I could be wrong, especially since the game is expected to take up less resources due to the lower textures and view distance, so it's hard to say until we get access to a beta.
