Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on GeForce GTX 1070

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1070 meets Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~31 fps at 1080p high (range 25–38, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3070 (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1070 back.
Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~31 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 1070: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 6 GB (+2 GB headroom)
