Note: Performance in large-scale or late-game scenarios depends heavily on your processor's single-thread clock speed, not just GPU power — a fast CPU matters as much as your GPU here. Note: This title is currently in Early Access. Performance estimates include a conservative buffer — actual results may vary as the game continues to be optimized between patches.
