How to get the best frame rate in Tempest Rising
The publisher's minimum for Tempest Rising is NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB/6GB / AMD RX 580 8GB or better with Intel Core i5-8600 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or better, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / AMD 7600 XT 16GB or better. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a Radeon RX 6800 XT 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.
