Do you need an Nvidia 40 series graphics card to get reasonable performance?

[Reck]

To say just running at 1080p on medium to high settings to get a decent 60fps?

Also is it true there's no DLSS to help with the performance issues?

What do you need to run at 4k with everything on max, which is ideally what everyone would like to do?

You need a RTX 9070 Ti+ Ultra.

That barely cuts it, better get a Titan RTXYZ Ti Ultra OC Super.

A 1080ti is on pair with a 4060.. it does not always have to do with the generation of GPU´s the tier is important too..

That being said, a low end modern generation 30/40 series will do just fine on 1080p


What is far more important is your CPU and Ram

There is no DLSS, although you can use FSR. The game is very GPU bound and a 4090 will get you around 50fps at 1440p in a 11k pop city with a mix of high, medium and low graphic settings. So forget about 4k 60fps with everything maxed.

No. CPU is way less important than GPU according to all benchmarks we've seen.

A PC with almost the exact recommended specs (with more ram) does 20-30fps at 1440p with most settings at medium or low (including level of detail). And still getting heavy stuttering from time to time. And that recommended GPU, a 3080, is much more powerful than a low end 30/40 series.

I don't now, but I plan to get at least a 4060 ti, but will likely go with 4070 because it's the best value overall to me, 4090 is great but is way too expensive for me sadly.

Most people will do just fine, even with low end and old GPU´s. One of the biggest issues will be the 16 gb ram that many have, because people will go wonkers with mods.. it just wont cut it.

As for the game itself, in a small town, a 1080 will do just fine on lowest settings, a 3070 ie. would do just fine for most parts on 1080p.

A 4070 is equal in performance to a 3080, but only 10gb vram, the 4070 have 12 and you can get a 4060ti with 16gb even (I would not recommend that, then rather a 4070 with 12) anyway, I think the Vram has a lot to say here (for obvious reasons) but I think a lot of it can be alliviated with lowering specific settings.

Time will tell ofc.. I still think many people will have issues with their CPU´s and Ram, because many have old generation CPU´s on low and midtier, coupled with much higher GPU´s and that might actually start to show now, with modern games.

I would not suggest anyone upgrading for this game, unless their setup is very old. Next year we will get the 50th series and rumours talk about twice the vram on each tier.

A new 30k Intel cpu with 128gigs of ram on the chip would get you a solid 50fps.

You accidentally added a zero to the end of that.

no i really didnt

edit: id link it but it was at a tech show and i cant remember what it was called.

That's not what tests and benchmarks are showing.

I don't think many people will go bonkers with mods when not even the 4090 can run the game with high quality at 720p 60fps.

What's you idea of running "fine"?. Because for me it is not building a 10-20k city but actually a larger city that it was feasible in CS1 due to the several hardcoded limits it has. And this has been one of the selling points of CS2.

Neither of both 4070/3080 are low end cards. A 3060 is more like it but the 3080 already isn't doing that well, with 20-30fps everything at medium or low at 1440p in a 50k city. That includes among many others lowering specific settings like the clouds, FoV and level of detail, which seem to have a heavy impact on performance.

A 3060 is a lot less powerful than a 3080 so you should expect even less performance at 1080p and with more things at low.

All tests I've seen until now tell CPU is a very minor concern compared to the CPU.

Anyway, tomorrow there will be the tests from CPP, which presumably will be relatively extensive.

Yes a 4090 to be precise. Although it will still lag at 200k population :)

That is minimum spec, with a old generation low tier GPU (That would not be able to run most modern games)
The avarage GPU are also low tier, but its only 1 generation away (the 3060)
Every single showcase I have seen (also from beta players) have been perfectly fine and it has never looked like what I see in this video.. most of them don´t have higher tier setups, but avarage setups)


That being said, I wont know for sure until I try it myself ofc.
