New Player Question on Graphics Card

[SentinelBasch]

OK, thank you, that's what I was hoping to hear. This GPU is the only thing I've added to my PC apart from a CD/DVD optical drive (for older games), so I should be good. It's funny, I really only play older games so I didn't think I would need a dedicated GPU, but then along came the awesomeness that is this game.

Thanks again!

Brand new player, running it on a 2018 Macbook Pro, with an RX 5700 XT in eGPU (approx 1/3rd of true desktop GPU performance) and a 165Hz 1440p display, and still getting 90+ fps with MOSTLY MAX (Shadow settings lowered to normal, Motion Blur off, HBAO on normal) in 2/2/4 ‘dungeons’, to give you an idea.

Also, if framerate is an issue to you, you can check this:

System Configuration > Other Settings > Display Limits

With my Ryzen 3 2200G, i get 60fps everywhere except as I noticed with 5.3 update very populated NPCs... and got about 50fps. If I remember correctly, very populated hunts will do the same.
Otherwise I get a locked 60fps by chosing "minimum". Graphic settings may then affect your framerate.
