Minimal specs for decent gaming?
What are the good specs since the game has been updated, the minimal specs listed is a lie.
Also what works best for this game? Amd, intel, or a mix?
My specs are 540m Nvidia, 6gb ram, 2.3-2.9GHz processor. I had 4gb which was sluggish. Couldn't even host 3 others well. Now I can host 5-7 well depending on map.

im using this:
CPU: I7 5820k overclock to 4.3ghz
Video Card: nvidia GTX 1080 MSI
Ram: Corsair 32G Vengeance LPX 3000hz
i have this game on max settings i can stream and host 8 man and still get great fps i do get some spikes but that just the game :P
That said, even though I have a good CPU I still get frame drops in certain battles while hosting with multi on; battles such as Lugh, Pantheon, and Juggernaut. Frames can be at 60 for a handful of raids, but drops below in those. Never lower than 30fps though. I can say for certain the drops are not because of my set-up, but it's definitely due to the lack of optimization. Hiding the UI will increase frames a whole lot.
My rig:
CPU: i7 6700k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
RAM: 16GB DDR4 - 2400mhz
All at factory clocks.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2
GPU: Radeon HD 5570
RAM: 5GB DDR3
Nothing overclocked, I get ass performance with the UI on, lots of stuttering, frame dips and bad rates in general (medium settings), but a solid 60fps with the UI off.
I know my specs meet the minimum requirements, it's just this game is terribly optimized.

My 8 years old INTel(XPS 9100)was hosting much better than my actual AMD 6300/6 Core Processor 3,5 GHz.I could host 8 people party for a good couple years with it.With my current AMD, i can host 1 person correctly even thoe my connection is really fit for the game(Cable/extra fast).
AMD gives better options in term of pricing and will still give you a *respectable* level of performance.However when it comes to Multi tasking,AMD suffers a lot.Also,Vindictus seems to be special(extra demanding) in term of hosting and i think that if you want to constantly host you'd be better off with a decent Intel processor.The game seems to put a lot of *stress* on PC components and you need a build that is strong enough to wisthand it over a good period of time.Maybe not necessarely over a 2K budget but realistically i think between 1-2k(CAD)
I do plan to eventually switch back to InTel
For video Card,i have been using GTX 960 for the past 2 years.It's enough for me i enjoy the game on low graphics and i can't play with (effect from other players high),anyway because(1:30:27 to 1:30:33):

Apparently,you might want to get a graphic card that has 4 GB Ram minimum
Other than that i would reccomand the best cooling possible without necessarely killing your wallet,but the game does stress the PC a lot and it will warm up.
Anyway,with the build that Plakster posted you would have more than enough,the little technicalities that you could encounter there and there would be on the game's side.
This is just from personal observations and quick researches,but im definitely not expert with computers^^^^
EDIT
If i do a very quick search,i would say something like that would be a *realistic minimal requirement* to host,record and everything.The price is in Canadian currency and i guess someone with more knowledge could build something similar for cheaper?
(You could still use a weaker graphic card i think)

As you said,the minimal requirement posted on the site are not enough to play this particular game in a comfortable way.
Mine;
CPU; Intel - Pentium G3258 overclocked to 4.2
GPU; GeForce GTX 950 2GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0
RAM; Team - Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3
I can host 8 man's for s1-s3 pretty well on normal settings.
I do plan on changing the cpu to a better one later in life since I built mine last summer+haha
Not me ofc but theres a topic with a Video test and some discussion:

Personally I'm playing the game on a budget system like:
i 3 4160 cpu
Gigabyte GTX 950 Xtreme
2x 4GB DDR 3
Win 7 ultimate
1920x1080 resolution on fairly high settings,mainly lowered the cpu heavy settings and some that I don't care about.
Can host pretty much anything,S3 and some S2 raids only with multi core tho otherwise its unplayable for me.
Game is just really badly optimized and it was barely utilizing even my gpu,had to actually make the game look better/more gpu demanding with some extra settings in Nvidia Inspector to stress it somewhat and I'm still CPU bottlenecked in the game:P
But then again,with 4 players being the max party size for most runs in the upcoming update,I wouldn't worry about that anymore.
Tbh buying/building an expensive overkill PC just for Vindi is a waste of money
on 720p thou about 45-60 fps
Intel® Pentium® Processor G4560 (Kaby-Lake generation)
It runs @3.5 Ghz It is a dual core with multi threading. So 2 physical cores 2 virtual ones. (Like I3)
It costs around 65 $
I have that paired with a GTX 750 ti and 8 gb of ddr4 ram.
Vindi runs at 60 fps mostly, 50-60 in 8 man parties.
I'm curious if the game will be 'optimized', or if just the 8 man parties going to 4 man parties 'fixes the cpu useage'
