Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

  • 60 fps at 1080p: high preset
  • 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
  • 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.

What limits performance

  • Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2070 back.
  • Processor needed for ~68 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 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, ~68 fps.

Video memory

  • GeForce RTX 2070: 8 GB
  • Minimum spec: 4 GB (+4 GB headroom)
  • Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
