Why in games in system requirements instead of real characteristics in 99% they write the names of processors and video cards?

Question

Marketing

I've been asking this question for 15 years now. What is it connected with. Miners appeared only not so long ago. Why does the average buyer need to know all the models. When there are 1000 video cards, with several key parameters that need to be compared first of all.
Yes, why do you need to google how much there is every time.

Answer 1

And what do you know about the real parameters of vidyuhi? As a matter of fact, nothing, and if you delve into this time, months will go away, but by name it would just be bang and buy in five seconds

Answer 2

Okay, here are the real system requirements:
an x86 processor with support for asm instructions "a long list of instructions", a video card with shader pipelines of such and such an implementation with such and such specs (another small print page), etc.
They write approximate requirements because universalization. All i3s have such and such a technology, all video cards from such and such a generation support the shader of the required version.

Answer 3

And what about miners in general?
Because it's logical. They write to you the model of the processor and the video card. You watch their performance on the Internet, you watch your performance and you understand how it fits together.
Or how should they write - such is the amount of memory, the number of shaders, etc. etc.?)

Answer 4

The fact is that there is a fake with 8 cores from AMD for 5000 rubles conditionally, but there is some kind of intel core i9 9900 for 30k or how much it costs there.
And memory in vidyaha also plays not the most important role. There are the same fakes from AMD with 8 GB of memory, and there is some kind of rtx 2070.
That's how we live. And yes, you won't have to google much. A user who looks at the system requirements for games is most likely aware of which processors / vids are weaker / stronger than his system.

Answer 5

In order not to be inadvertently substituted.
Suddenly there is some non-key unmentioned parameter, because of which the game will not work7 but no one will be able to make claims, because the manufacturer promised (and therefore guaranteed) correct work with a specific list of models.
Probably.

Answer 6

What is there to know? For example, in the thousandth line of NVIDIA there are only 4 game cards, 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080 (+ Ti). If the minimum salary is 1050, then the rest of the ones above will do. So are the 2000 and 3000 series.
I don't know about Radeons.
In general, I have been using teapot-info for a long time, you enter maps for comparison, and you immediately see a performance graph below, it is easier to compare with minimum wages - https://www.chaynikam.info/gpu_comparison.html
There is a section for processors.
