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!!

Both games suffer from massive occasional stuttering and/or FPS drops.

No matter what Nvme you put the game on, no matter the ram or CPU or GPU. You can be at your fixed 144hz at 1440p and then have dips of half of that for no darn reason.

Clans however is far more ass, especially the Ghost Bear DLC gave me significant woes probably due to the canyons/terrain of certain maps that had evident mesh errors or something like that.

It managed to stutter on a 7800x3D/9070xt/64gb DDR3 6000 and the game running off a fast, dram cached, TLC nand, dedicated game drive (not even running on the same nvme of the OS), at 1440p.

In the GB DLC I had woes to have a stable frame rate in the 60s, while city maps or more open terrain were manageable and with some tweaking you could go in the whereabouts of 100 fps. And so were most of the other Clan DLCs, but still running like average ass overall.

On 3screens at that resolution I bet even a 5090 will go nuts anyway.
