Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 6950 XT is well above Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~96 fps at 1080p high (range 77–115, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~67 fps on high). Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

144 fps at 1080p: low preset

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 6950 XT back.
Processor needed for ~96 fps: Ryzen 5 5500X3D or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 96.

Video memory

Radeon RX 6950 XT: 16 GB
