What a shitty wat to post specs... 2GB-16GB? Spec ranges? So I will not be able to play it with 24gigs?

Anyway, 8600gt looks suspiciously low, and the recommended looks too high. This is the new king of unoptimized shit, bye GTA4.
GTX 680 is not the recommended video card, just as 16GB could not be the recommended RAM requirement. They just made the dubious decision to write in a range that goes from the minimum to the current maximum specs you could throw at it, in order to say that everything in between will technically work. Silly, sure, but let's not get mad over something that isn't there.

How are you so certain it isn't there? Read a statement or got an intel source I somehow don't have?

For the 20 years I've been into PC gaming, system requirements are explained by minimum specs..... and recommended specs. Not minimum specs... and well, anything above that. It's retarded and then they could've just as well mentioned just the minimum specs.

So, following that logic, what I'm reading is that in order to play that game maxed out with 50-60 FPS you need the highest CPU, GPU and RAM in that statement.

It scares the living, unborn abomination brother out of me and looking back at the unoptimized hell that was GTA4, my hopes are sinking up to the day I can try it myself.
