• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD RX 5700, Nvidia GTX 1070, or Intel Arc A580

Ensuring your system aligns with these specs is the first step toward optimal performance. However, there is some leeway in these specs. A setup between minimum and recommended is sufficient to enjoy the game at decent FPS. If you are planning to play the game on higher resolutions and high refresh rate screens, you will need a more powerful system.

Optimizing Basic Graphics Settings

Adjusting the basic graphics settings can significantly impact your gaming experience.

• Resolution: Set to your monitor’s native resolution for the sharpest visuals.
• Window Mode: Choose “Windowed Fullscreen” for easy switching between applications without minimizing the game. Fullscreen Exclusive is another good option if you want the least amount of input lag.
• Frame Limit: Setting a frame limit can stabilize performance. If your system struggles to maintain high FPS, capping it can reduce fluctuations. Generally, set it to match your monitor’s refresh rate, but 60 FPS is a good middle ground.
• VSync: Turning VSync off can reduce input lag, but if you experience screen tearing, consider enabling it.
• Field of View: A setting around 90 degrees offers a balanced view without distorting the image.
• Motion Blur: Disabling motion blur can result in a clearer image, especially during fast movements.
