System Spec's

Just wondering what sort of pc will run Ashes at a decent experience.
We haven't seen any real battles ( 25 v 25 ) .......etc
Have players in the Alpha experienced any big fight ?

I was kinda hoping for some player feedback, someone who is currently playing the game.

The few that have access now are under NDA.

I can give some Alpha 1 feedback, but that was on UE4, not the current UE5 client.

We had a siege battle with around 300 players that was pretty damn smooth in terms of the network and such. My system at the time was a 8700K slightly overclocked to 5Ghz and a GTX 1080 Ti running at 4K resolution. My FPS was around 30-60 for the most part, with a few dips into the 20s.

25 v 25 is nothing in Ashes. It'll handle 10 times that.

As nerror said, the people who are testing can't really talk about it. But if you're wanting a "decent" experience I'd be aiming for the recommended or better as the specs could change again in the future depending on testing.

Do we know how much ray tracing is involved? As I believe that's more an Nvidia strength than AMD (although AMD may have caught up a bit lately?).

You should be completely fine with an RTX 4060 Ti or 4070 Super onwards, or an RTX 3070 if you're on a tight budget. In terms of CPU power I'd really recommend the 5800x3D for gaming.

Real battles, 25v25, lol.

The minimum and recommended specs here are updated for Alpha Two: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/26658550834835-What-are-the-minimum-and-recommend-computer-specifications-for-Alpha-Two

After testing in Alpha 2 i'm quite happy with running a 7800X3D paired with a 7900XT.

seem to be managing 60fps with some custom settings on a 7500F CPU and RX6800 GPU. Resolution scaling down to 1440p and 1080p did not do much for massive fps gains I found.

Would be safe to say that the CPU is critical when more players are on screen. If you're on a current AM4 rig the 5700x3d from aliexpress is incredibly cheap a decent upgrade and performs within 1% of a 5800x3d.

The 7500F is a bit cheaper than the 5700x3d and performs roughly the same but will get you onto the newer AM5 socket with a longer upgrade path...(7800x3d/9800x3d)

the only Intel CPUs I would consider is the low budget 12100f and maybe 12600k. But I have not used intel since my i7 6700k turned into an i3...

What I will say is that you probably want 32gb of system ram and a GPU with 16gb of vram.

During testing I was going over 20gb/12gb usage which might improve with more game updates but I'd be inclined to just flat out recommend those system specs as standard.

I will also add that during alpha 1 (Unreal engine 4)I was using the IGPU on a 5700g AMD apu and the game was surprisingly playable (gtx1050 ish performance)...though not recommended, I just sold all my graphics cards during the peak crytpo mining PC gamer winter.

If there was RT I would be turning it off. The performance hit is not worth the visual fidelity in a multiplayer pvp game.

I'd rather have optional HDR.

Other than Minecraft RT I am yet to see a game where RT is worth turning on. The thing with MMOs is you have to optimize to the more common system specs...

In which case we're talking 6 core CPU's and RX6600/GTX1660 - RTX3060 like GPU range. none of which will benefit with RT turned on even with upscalers as the system memory will not be enough.
