Speaking of RAM, Forspoken’s need for 32GB has been greatly exaggerated, but your choice of storage device matters more than in most games. Not to mention occasional stuttering, regardless of which storage, CPU or RAM is sharing the load. The same goes for the GTX 1070, the absolute bare minimum for 1080p, and even the mighty RTX 4080 suffers from inconsistencies. An RTX 3070 that might be hitting 90fps at 1440p in a tight dungeon corridor could plummet to nearly half of that during a fight, or while paranormally parkouring through the open world. There’s some lovely particle effect displays during combat, but those don’t seem to drop the FPS by themselves.Īnd boy, are there drops. Even on maxed-out quality, the texture work isn’t especially impressive, the lighting is unremarkable, and the character and environment models are merely okay. It looks… fine, I guess, but it’s never clear how these visuals can be so damned taxing. Except while Crysis did look sumptuous for its time, Forspoken’s need for a pimped-out rig is harder to justify.

But do you really need a £1000-plus card like the RTX 4080 for smooth 4K? Yes! You do!įorspoken is a killer, the kind of game that used to spawn decades-long running jokes about whether a PC could run it. Surely a GTX 1060 can handle more than 30fps at 720p, right? Nope – 1080p brings this stalwart GPU to its knees. Still, while it’s tempting to bleat on about how hardly anyone is going to play at 720p, or have 24GB of system RAM, let alone 32GB, the official requirements can also be accurate in all the scariest ways.

I’ve analysed/moaned about Forspoken’s lofty hardware desires here. Just don’t go in expecting to fill out the 144Hz refresh rate on a speedy gaming monitor.įorspoken system requirements and PC performance With the right settings adjustments, it is possible to give Forspoken’s PC performance a sizeable boost.
