How to get the best frame rate in Planet Zoo
The publisher's minimum for Planet Zoo is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (2GB) / AMD Radeon R9 270X (2GB) with Intel i5-2500 / AMD FX-6350, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 580 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a Radeon RX Vega 56 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 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 3 2200G meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
