Updated Star Citizen minimum system requirements look gentle but they're more guidelines than actual rules

Star Citizen has just updated its minimum system requirements and they appear rather easy-going: a quad-core CPU of unspecified age, a GPU with 4GB of VRAM, and 16GB of system memory. Many modern systems quite happily conform to that specification, especially with the developers noting a few examples of graphics cards that meet the requirement, including the GTX 1060, RX 460, and Arc A380. 

That's the absolute bare minimum hardware required to run the game, as per the developers (via KitGuru).
