Hardware Performance Tiers
The updated specifications span six distinct configurations to accommodate various hardware setups.
The Minimum tier targets 1080p at 30 frames per second using a GTX 1660, RX 5500 XT, or Arc A580 paired with a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600 and 12 GB of RAM.
Moving up, the Recommended tier targets 1080p at 60 frames per second using an RTX 2060 Super, RX 6600 XT, or Arc B580 alongside a Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X and 16 GB of RAM.
