Aim for a GPU that punches above the official recommended specs to natively clear 1080p/Medium/60fps, then use frame gen and upscaling for extra headroom—not as a crutch.
Even if you are building brand new, a modern mid-range GPU with an absolute baseline of 12GB VRAM is the hard cutoff.

The Game's Verdict: Recommended Specs & Grade
The stunning visuals and fast-paced combat make one thing painfully obvious: this game is a massive hardware hog. The GPU requirements are brutal, and since the official specs rely entirely on upscalers as a crutch, failing to factor that into your part selection is a guaranteed recipe for buyer's remorse.
Worse yet, it's a system-wide stress test that will hammer your CPU, RAM, and storage just as hard. A half-baked, piecemeal upgrade on an aging rig will likely just move the bottleneck somewhere else. Honestly, depending on your current setup, ditching the old rig for a completely new pre-built might actually offer better bang for your buck. Use our FPS benchmark data to find a GPU that legitimately hits your target, and build a balanced system around it that fits your budget.
