Lol. Out here I can get the Digital Deluxe version + season pass for about $23. And I'm still waiting for a price drop. Regional pricing ftw.

GAME.co.uk had a PC CE! It was probably limited to Europe and deemed to have low profit viability for the US market. I cancelled my Amazon.com order for the PS4 CE. USA and consoles GTFO, HAHAHA!

Breach mode looks fantastic. I plan on spending much time in there.
Breach looks like a mode added to appease parent company PR execs. The gameplay loop is only part of the Deus Ex experience, without the literature component DX is about as appetising as chicken livers.

My GTX 750 Ti isn't even 2.5 years old and it doesn't meet the minimum. It's still current and considered the best budget card today.
What's a good midrange card these days? The GTX 970 is still selling for >$300 even though it's 2 years old. I don't want to spend any more than that. I would prefer less.

A GTX 660 is better than a GTX 750? Dammit why don't they make the names easier to follow? I guess I don't meet the minimum at all.

Yes, a GTX 660 is better than a GTX 750. I looked for comparisons, and the differences in various game benchmarks varied from minimal to up to 50% in favor of the 660. The GTX 660 is no longer on the market, but performance-wise I think it would still be considered a midrange card. NVidia's naming convention has never made any sense to me.
If I want to stick with NVidia, it looks like I'll need to spend ~$250 on a GTX 960 just to safely meet the minimum requirements. Even a GTX 950 is not clearly better than the GTX 660, faster in some benchmarks and slower in others.
Now I'm really torn. My left brain says wait until the game is released and see how bad things are. My right brain says go buy a new card now so I can fully enjoy it from day one.

The GTX 660 would now be considered a low-end budget card.
If I were in your position, I would get a RX 470 (almost as fast as a GTX 970, for less than $200)...a RX 480 (a little faster than a GTX 970, for around $250)...or ideally a GTX 1060 (as fast as a GTX 980, for less than $300).
These cards represent the sweet-spot for best value and performance in the current midrange market.

If you want to stick with Nvidia, I highly recommend spending just a little bit more for a (

Nixxes is doing the PC port, IIRC, so it should be pretty well optimised. It's running on a modified Glacier 2 Engine, which is being used in Hitman. So I'm expecting less choppy performance for DXMD than Hitman.

Maaaan, I have finally fallen below the 'minimum' threshold with my piddly little 7850. :(
