System RAM Recommendations
We recommend at least 16 GB of system RAM to prevent stutters and ensure smooth multitasking while playing.
Optimal Graphics Settings
For 1080p High settings at 60 FPS, a mid-range GPU like the RTX 3060 or RX 6600 is optimal. If you are on entry-level specs, we recommend setting shadows, volumetric lighting, and reflection quality to Medium or Low to save up to 25% of GPU cycles. Enable DLSS or FSR if available.
