It’s a good suggestion to verify, particularly if you happen to’re inquisitive about how the up to date system necessities may have an effect on your efficiency.
Previously, the system necessities for hitting 1080p and 60 frames per second (with Frame Generation enabled) known as for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, or AMD Radeon RX 6700XT graphics card; an Intel Core i5-11600K, Intel Core i5-12400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, or AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU; and 16 GB of RAM.
In an updated page alongside the benchmark, Capcom seems to have lowered the necessities. For Recommended, or 1080p (FHD) with 60 frames per second and Frame Generation enabled, listed here are the brand new necessities:

Users are already reporting some noticeable benefits to performance within the benchmark in comparison with the beta take a look at, although that is with Frame Generation enabled. Steam Deck nonetheless would not appear doubtless; whereas the gaming rig I examined handed with flying colours, my private try on the Deck did not elicit promising outcomes.
