How to get the best frame rate in Planet Zoo 2
The publisher's minimum for Planet Zoo 2 is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM) / AMD Radeon RX 5600XT (6GB VRAM) / Intel Arc A750 (8GB VRAM) with Intel i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8GB VRAM) / AMD Radeon RX 6700XT (12GB VRAM) / Intel Arc A770 (16GB VRAM). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce RTX 2080 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 4090 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 16 GB, recommended 16 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.
Processor
A processor like the Core i7-10700K meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
