It seems thatWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2will be playable for most PC players, as even an 8-year-old GPU is supported. If you’re not concerned with achieving the best visuals and framerate, you can get by with a Radeon RX 580 or a GeForce GTX 1060 as your GPU. However, you’ll need at least 6 GB of VRAM to avoid significant performance issues.

For the CPU, a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8600K should suffice. Additionally, you’ll need 8 GB of RAM and 75 GB of free storage space, whichmust be on an SSD; using an HDD will cause performance problems. With this hardware, you’ll be able to run the game at 1080p @ 30 FPS with Low settings.

1080p @ 60FPS

AMD Ryzen 5 5800X or Intel Core i7-12700

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

16 GB

To run the game with better visuals, you’ll naturally needmore powerful hardware. If you want to enjoyWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2at 1080p @ 60 FPS with Ultra settings, you’ll require some high-end components. This includes a Ryzen 5 5800X or Core i7-12700 as CPU and a Radeon RX 6800 XT or GeForce RTX 3070 as GPU. Additionally, you’ll need 8 GB of VRAM, 16 GB of RAM, and 75 GB of SSD storage.

The developer hasn’t revealed the system requirements for playing the game athigher resolutions like 1440p or 4K. Understandably, these settings will demand more powerful hardware, butupscaling technologycan help make the game more accessible on mid-range systems. While this may result in a slight loss of visual clarity, the significant increase in FPS is a trade-off most players are willing to make.
