How to get the best frame rate in Construction Simulator
The publisher's minimum for Construction Simulator is Nvidia GTX 960 (4GB) or AMD Radeon Pro 570 (4GB) or comparable with Intel Core i5-4460 3.2 GHz or AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core or comparable, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX5700 (8GB) or comparable. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 1660 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 2060 does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon RX 6750 XT at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Strategy and simulation games lean on the processor, especially late in a game when there is a lot to calculate. A faster graphics card will not fix a slow late game, but a faster CPU and more RAM will.

Memory and processor
Memory
Minimum 8 GB, recommended 16 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.
Processor
A processor like the Ryzen 5 2600 meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
