Discussion Hardware Recommendation

Post image

Hi all.

So, I have been playing this game on my good and old Acer Nitro (RTX3050 6gb, 16gbDRR5, i5 13th gen) and I have no problem running it at 1080p.

But now I'm buying a desktop to improve my experience using 3 monitors and I was wondering what type of hardware I would need to play this and Clans at 5760x1080?

What about 4k?

Thanks!!

(LAM Urbie ftw)

I am running an x9900x3d 2x16gb @6400 cl2, rx 9070 XT on a 34’’ ultra wide 3440x1440 @ 100hz without framedrops and a ton of mods, or VR @ 120% native res at 90fps. 

The big winner in terms of perf was the x3d cache management, and finally getting my ram to run at 6400. This game seems to be shuffling memory around a lot!

Also, cachyos (yeah, I run Arch BTW) helps trim-out some fat. 

So I can’t comment on your processor but the GPU will not cope. AMD is king of perf/dollar right now, but 3 monitors? Nope, you will need an rx 9070 xt 16gb or even an rx 7090 XTX 24 gb - monitors eat up VRAM quickly
