With the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided release happening tomorrow, Feral Interactive have released the system requirements. It will need a pretty decent rig.

It is a heavy game, I've seen plenty of reports about the Windows version requiring a beefy PC to play it reasonably well, so this isn't surprising.

Note: AMD GPUs aren't supported. The likely reason is that Mesa doesn't officially have high enough OpenGL support (the new release doesn't officially expose 4.4/4.5 yet), and it may have some performance issues to sort out.

Minimum
Intel Core i3-4130 or AMD FX8350 processor
8GB RAM
2GB Nvidia 680 graphics card (driver version 367.57).

Recommended
Intel Core i7-3770K
16GB RAM with a 6GB
Nvidia 1060 graphics card (driver version 367.57).

I will give you as much information as I can tomorrow at release on how it performs on Linux and what I think. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: omer666After looking up on YouTube, I saw that GTX 1050 Ti offers approximately the same performance as a GTX 680, but with 4 GB of VRAM. Will I run the game on Low settings with a 1050 Ti or can hope to play on Medium? I was considering getting a new card and I don't want to spend 300 bucks on a 1060...
Pick up a used 970?

Quoting: PublicNuisanceYet another reason to kick myself over getting that RX 480 over a GTX 1060 back in September. My GTX 680 is now the minimum haha. Oh well, I'll still be interested in the game.

Hang in there! My RX480's running pretty good on mesa git (Mad Max) :)

That's an idea, but I'm not used to buy used GPUs, at 200 bucks that's a risk I don't want to take. I guess I'll wait for some benchmarks to make my mind. I've been waiting for this game so bad...

Apart from the CPU, I've got pretty much their recommended specs. I wonder if it's the same story with this as other games I can run on both Windows and Linux. I get on average 10-20 % better frame rate in Linux, both with the 1060, and with my 750M laptop...

Quoting: Comandante oardoAre they pairing an Intel Core i3-4130 with an AMD FX8350 processor??

maybe they don't have an equivalent CPU for the i3, or maybe for some reason amd CPUs are worse than in other games, sometimes it's kinda weird, bethesda said recommended is a "i7 4xxx or 8350" for dishonored 2 for example, but in theory if a i3 4xxx is enough, a fx 6300 should be enough too.

I have a 980 GTX and i7 3770k.
I play on 1440p@21:9 ... Do you think would it run ok at high settings? Mad Max works just fine all High apart AA...

Quoting: GBeeHmm, time to get that GTX 1070/1080 then ...

Speaking as someone that has a 1080, go for a 980/ti and save some £££/$$$

Not quite good choice for the future :) They might not be perfect now but they will definitely get improved, it has a lot more potential for performance especially when Vulkan comes into play...

Following that train of thought get a AMD card

Oh well, wasn't planning on getting it anyway.
