Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600 and 3840x2160 at the maximum game graphics quality settings (except for SSAA). The game does not load any GPU to its full capacity (loading is 60-80%), however this is not a CPU limitation. What GPU resources are used in this case remains a mystery.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX graphics cards provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| GPU TEST |
In the test of video cards, the default resolution is 1920x1080, other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also choose any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is performed on the most productive CPU and scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 560 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti level. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 560 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti level. A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 560 GeForce GTX 1060 solutions .
At a resolution of 2560x1440, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 560 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti level. A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 560 or GeForce RTX 1050 Ti level. A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 560 GeForce GTX 1060 solutions .
At a resolution of 3840x2160, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 560 or GeForce GTX 1650 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 470 or GeForce RTX 1650s level. A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX Vega 64 GeForce RTX 2070s solutions .
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of the video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the MSI Afterburner program. The results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA at resolutions of 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with various anti-aliasing settings were taken as the indicator. By default, the graph displays the most up-to-date solutions. Other graphics cards are added and removed from the chart at the reader's request.

| CPU TEST |
Testing was carried out at a resolution of 1920x1080. In the processor test, you can remove and add any positions of the processors. You can also select any tested video card from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance to the given processor tests (by default, the most productive solution from NVIDIA is selected). Testing takes place on the most productive NVIDIA and AMD video cards and scales up to lower models.
When using NVIDIA video cards , Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i 3 4330 processors showed an acceptable rate of at least 25 frames, and solutions of the Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i 3 4330 level can provide an FPS of at least 60 frames .
When using AMD video cards , Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i 3 4330 processors showed an acceptable rate of at least 25 frames, and solutions of the Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i 3 4330 level can provide an FPS of at least 60 frames .
GameGPU
The game can download up to 4 threads. In fact, it uses only 2 cores.
| RAM TEST |
The test was conducted on the base configuration of the Core i 9 10900K with 16 GB DDR4 4000 MGz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various video cards without running extraneous applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.
