The official listing does not define a resolution, frame rate, or graphics preset for either tier. Minimum means the published hardware floor, not a guarantee of a particular visual quality. Recommended also does not prove that every area holds a fixed frame rate.
Nacon and Steam still display a note saying the information may change until launch, even though the game has released. Because that wording has not been replaced with a final performance target, this page copies the numerical requirements but does not manufacture a benchmark.
For current optimization work, check patch 1.03, which added geometry-streaming changes for memory management and performance.
