What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon HD 7950 back.
Processor needed for ~39 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~23 fps.

Video memory

Radeon HD 7950: 3 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (1 GB short)
