Minimum GPU Requirement?

[Space Marine]

Can't find any info on what's the minimum GPU this game requires. Saw on a website that the minimum was 2GB, but i'm not too sure. The Steam page only says "Dedicated GPU" though, so that leaves me kinda lost.

[Pimmelschilz]

Minimum: Intel Core i3, 8 GB RAM, graphic card 2 GB GeForce GTX 660 or better, 11 GB HDD, Windows 7 64-bit

Recommended: Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, graphic card 6 GB GeForce GTX 1060 or better, 12 GB HDD, Windows 7/8/10/11 64-bit

I have played it on an R9 280 (3gb of VRAM). Playable ~30 FPS on lowest settings (with occasional dips below 20 FPS). 2GB of VRAM will likely bottleneck you very hard.

Tbh, I'd aim for atleast GTX 970/R9 390 to play this game.

The VRAM size is just one of many defining parameters of a VGA, but i can assure you, you won't get useable fps from this game at any resolution with a card having 2 GB Vram.

I have a GTX 1080Ti on my lower-tier gaming rig and it runs the game just fine.. My RTX 3090Ti doesn't even know it is running a game...hehehe

What? how on earth do you manage to play at 30FPS? It's actually disorienting for me to play below 45

People that grew up on CRT screens don't have that problem, it is mainly the generation of gamers that were still infants when modern LCD screens became the norm.

A stable 30 fps is more than our brains can make use of, however the problem is if you grow up with higher framerates on displays that are actually capable of showing discrete frames, the brain learns to lock in on the frame switches.

What happens is basically focus being stolen away from the presented flow of images because there is something more important going on, which is a 'missing' image now and then, or the out-of-order refresh of the image flow.

You might be able to reduce the problem somewhat by using v-sync to even dividers according to your screen refresh rate, but if you're young this is going to be a problem.

I find what you are saying to be very interesting. it's like older people have build-in frame generation. I have also noticed that I prefer solutions of my PC problems in text, while the younger generation prefers a 3 minute youtube. I mean come on! In text that's just 100 words!

Yeah but this generation grow up with a FPS counter in the top corner! They fixate on that more than gameplay. That's very evident by all comments saying for eg 'i get between 40 and 80fps'
i have always in my 34 years of PC gaming relied on my Mk 1 eyeball
Tearing was more evident on a CRT as it produced 'waves', due to the 60Hz CRT screen refresh.

I have a Freesync/Gsync monitor that i purchased last year and my first in my gaming life.
i build my own gaming PCs which never, ever meet the generic Specifications that are produced for games. So if it say's 'minimum', mine will easily exceed that to high to epic settings.
building from PSU to MoBo,CPU, GPU and SSD M2 etc. Easily gives you a rig that will far outlast generic shop machines. Even supposed performance PCs.

So i had my monitor running in freesync (it can do 120,144 and 165Hz at 1440P) and it was impressive how fluid and smooth the gameplay was, but i eventually resorted to just using the monitors refresh rate as it suited me perfectly for gaming

Any good Monitors you know of?

[Bobby]

Monitors are very subjective. How I see detail etc is not how you will.
Some monitors are brilliant in dim rooms but washed out in sunlit rooms.
It’s best to buy from Amazon prime, that way you can return it.
My monitor is a Viewsonic VX2718 2KPC mhd Wide 2550x1440 QHD curved 27” gaming monitor. Integrated speakers, adaptive sync, display port 2x HDMI, flicker free, low blue light filter, 1ms.
120,144 and 165Hz (with the DP.) 16:9
Incredible value for money,

But as I said, subjective and of course driven by budget.

There is a newer model, same spec, but does 180Hz @1440
