Mortal Kombat X System Requirements

[Ungeheuer]

Hi guys!
The system requirements for Mortal Kombat X were recently announced and apparently the recommended GPUs are the NVIDIA GTX 660 and the AMD Radeon HD 7950, which seems very odd, because if I'm not mistaken the NVIDIA GTX 660 is the equivalent of the AMD Radeon HD 7870, which is definitely weaker than the AMD Radeon HD 7950. Any ideas?

Probably another half-ass job for optimizing the game to suit everyone. My guess is that there's gonna be problems with all AMD cards

Buy a GTX 960 or R9-280x welcome into 2015.

It just doesn't make any sense. If memory serves me right, the same GPUs (AMD Radeon 7950 and NVIDIA GTX 660) were recommended for Shadow of Mordor, which was actually pretty well optimized with the exception of the VRAM the game needed for its textures.

The reason that this happens more and more is because its a lot faster and cheaper to create massive memory hogs in terms of textures rather than a great engine that will ease up on the textures. Hell, some of the games coming out dont even have DX11 native, just a few elements of it.
However very few can tell the difference from texture heavy and good engine, so... not great.

I have a 384Bit for GeForce GTX650ti DDR3 2GB PCI Express3.0 x 16 HDMI Graphics Card it meets minimum requirements but when i try to launch the game it says my graphics card doesn't meet minimum requirements.

this card has ran games that requires same or more from a video card . is there a way around the launcher to ignore this message?

ps i have the game on steam
