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

Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Arc B580 back.
Processor needed for ~71 fps: Core i3-10100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 2700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~71 fps.

Video memory

Arc B580: 12 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
