PC that ran the Cyberpunk 2077 demo at E3 2019 costs 22,000 reais

The PC that ran the Cyberpunk 2077 demo at E3 2019 would cost about 22,000 reais (R$22,001.28 in Brazil). See the parts CD Projekt RED used.

It is no surprise to learn that some E3 game ran on a PC, since at the event companies want their games running in the best possible way to create a positive first impression on the media and players. Cyberpunk 2077 showed a bit of its beautiful graphics at the event, and so fans and the media theorized that the game was running on a PC because the graphical fidelity was at a higher level than what we currently see on the market.

The site Vandal decided to find out and asked CD Projekt RED, the game’s developer, directly what the configuration of the PC used in the demonstration was. The answer was that the game was running on a high-end PC with an RTX Titan, which alone costs 2,699.00 euros (about R$11,779.74 in direct conversion). It is worth remembering that all games undergo optimizations and when they reach the market they are nowhere near as demanding (at least in most cases). Here is the full configuration:

Processor: Core i7 8700K 3.70GHz – €372.45 / R$2,299.90 (price charged here in Brazil)
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming – €253.44 / R$1,299.99 (price charged here in Brazil)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V, 16 GBx2 (3000MHz) – €245.00 / R$799.01 (price charged here in Brazil)
Graphics card: Titan RTX – €2,699.00 / R$15,999.00 (price charged here in Brazil)
Storage: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD – €161.90 / R$969.00 (price charged here in Brazil)
Power supply: SF600 600W – €119.95 / R$636.27 (price charged here in Brazil)
Total: €3,851.74 / R$22,001.28 (price charged here in Brazil)
