Who on desktop plays at 1280x720?Fewer than 0.3% of Steam users, apparently.

Ive therefore been finding out what PC hardware Forspokenactuallyneeds to run both smoothly and at more realistic resolutions.

For testing, Ive mainly focused on graphics cards, as Forspoken appears far more GPU-reliant than CPU-reliant.

Frey is surrounded by magical light in Forspoken.

And upscaling to its credit, Forspoken supports bothNvidia DLSSandAMD FSR 2 is a must at 1440p and above.

On the Low preset, which by default includes FSR 2 running in Performance mode.

Or, y’know, a threat.

Clearly, more firepower would be needed to get 1080p running smoothly.

Its all about the GPU here.

Buh and, indeed, whuh.

Frey battles corrupted human enemies with her rock powers in Forspoken.

Nonetheless, when I tried it on the High preset, it did average a respectable 50fps.

You know what, then, Forspoken?

you might have this one: the official GPU suggestions are staying put.

Flanked by spearmen, Frey stands trial in Forspoken.

That 24GB RAM listing, however has to go.

you’ve got the option to ignore the 32GB RAM requirement, though.

There wasnt any additional stuttering at 16GB either.

Frey looks out at Cipal. a major hub city in Forspoken.

Using the Low preset and Performance-level FSR 2, but still.

Clad in her new cloak, Frey speaks to a young pickpocket in Forspoken.
