How to get the best frame rate in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition
The publisher's minimum for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950, AMD Radeon R9 370, or equivalent performance with Intel i5 6th-gen or AMD Ryzen desktop processor with 4 cores @3GHz, or equivalent performance, 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.
