Forspoken, the latest ARPG from Square Enix, has garnered attention for its demanding system requirements.
To determine more accurate specs, the author tested various graphics cards, focusing on their impact on Forspoken's performance.
We found that the official system requirements, which target resolutions and framerates that few gamers engage with, understated the game's requirements for optimal performance.
For example, on the game we found that a 6GB GTX 1060, listed as the minimum GPU requirement, produced only 31fps at 720p and on the Low preset.
The official system requirements may not fully reflect the game's hardware requirements, and players may need to invest in more powerful hardware for optimal performance.
