How to get the best frame rate in Darkest Dungeon II
The publisher's minimum for Darkest Dungeon II is Nvidia GTX 950 | AMD R7 370 with AMD Athlon X4 | Intel Core i5 4460, and the recommended hardware is not stated. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 760 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 780 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1660 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.
