Wolfenstein II compatible with my CPU?

[Buchinski13]

Wolfenstein II system specs have been revealed, but I'm a little bit concerned about my CPU.

Minimum:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770/AMD FX-8350 or better
GPU: Nvidia GTX 770 4GB/AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB or better
RAM: 8GB
OS: Win7, 8.1, or 10 (64-Bit versions)
Storage: 55GB

Recommended

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770/AMD FX-9370 or better
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB/AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB or better
RAM: 16GB
OS: Win7, 8.1, or 10 64-Bit
Storage: 55GB

MY SYSTEM SPECS:

CPU: Intel Quad Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX1070
RAM: 16GB
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit
Resolution: 1920x1080

I really don't know much about CPU scale. By that, I mean I don't fully understand how they are graded. I simply checked out the number, and was concerned that there would be a problem since my CPU is numerically lower than minimum. Am I going to have any problems?

I wouldn't worry about it.

The 2600K is still a quality CPU, especially if you OC it, as it should be able to OC to ~4.4-4.5GHz fairly easily.

At stock speeds, it's starting to show it's age a bit..... but should still be totally capable for what you want out of it.

Perhaps your processor is older than minimum recommended specs, you're still going to be able to run the game, maybe there will be a few times where performance issues will show up, but like others commends says you shouldn't worry about it.

The recommendations are usually what old systems they have laying around to test thoroughly, and it would appear that the game is coded to take advantage of 8 threads. Ivy and Sandy Bridge were almost equal in performance, and are still competitive with Sky/Kaby Lake with a healthy overclock - I'm sure that you'll be just fine.
