Only using 20GB of storage is a refreshing change to see these days! Very nice. I appreciate that the requirements also give guidance on the resolution and expected FPS - comprehensive information
The specs are lower than I expected. A 1050 is positively ancient and extremely weak. I’m surprised that works for the minimum settings.Nothing too surprising. Generally a bit higher than I expected, but I guess that's FXS covering their backside rather than the actual minimum needed to run the game.
Remember it works on the switch, so hardware as old (and low budget) as that ought to work... Of course there's a small penalty for a pc which the game hasn't been specifically optimised for, but still.The specs are lower than I expected. A 1050 is positively ancient and extremely weak.

As if "FPS" is a system spec.
There's a world of difference between 1080p60 and 4K60... I'm a bit annoyed at this recent trend with games setting medium at something anyone with a desktop built in the last few years can run and high at a $10k supermachine giving no ideas for what someone's experience will be for anywhere inbetween.
Not that it really matters for a civ game, I think we all know the game will slow to a crawl near the end. Not too shocked at the requirements aside from the 32gb recommendation for high, these are reasonable.
I know it's important info, but it is a tad disappointing if it's taking the slot of a First Look today... They've come out at this time usually, right?
4K has 4x as many pixels as 1080p.The physical fact is that 4k has 16x as many pixels as 1080p, and so that takes a lot more processing power to render.
4K has 4x as many pixels as 1080p.
No. You're probably confused because 1080p refers to the vertical pixel count and "4K" refers to the horizontal pixel count. That's marketing for you!Nope. That's not how area scaling works... It has 4x as many horizontally and 4x as many vertically, so 16x as many in total. (Assuming the same aspect ratio, which may not be quite true for different versions of 1080p and 4k)
Huh, you're right. I shall say my 8,294,400 ave Maria's while beating myself with the presumed assumptions stick...No. You're probably confused because 1080p refers to the vertical pixel count and "4K" refers to the horizontal pixel count. That's marketing for you!
The aspect ratio commonly called 1080p has 1920x1080 pixels for a total of 2,073,600 pixels. The aspect ratio commonly called 4K has 3840x2160 pixels for a total of 8,294,400 pixels. That's a ratio of 4x.
You can easily verify this by checking pretty much anywhere.
