Mid-range GPUs lock 1080p/60fps maxed out. Focus on single-core CPU muscle to kill stutters.
Modern entry-to-mid-range builds will crush 1080p at max settings. Look for a CPU with strong single-core performance and a healthy amount of L3 cache.You can absolutely save cash with an older GPU, but don't cheap out on the CPU. Stick to modern generations for that crucial single-core speed.

The Game's Verdict: Recommended Specs & Grade
This massively popular mobile-first open-world action RPG boasts a surprisingly well-optimized PC port. Because of that, it runs incredibly light on older rigs—for the most part. The catch? Hidden CPU and RAM bottlenecks. If you want rock-solid frame pacing, beefing up your CPU and memory will do a lot more heavy lifting than upgrading your GPU.
The fact that the officially recommended GPU is a GTX 1060 6GB tells you everything you need to know about the graphical overhead. Do yourself a favor: grab a modern entry-level GPU to save some cash, and dump the rest of your budget into a strong CPU, plenty of RAM, and a fast NVMe SSD. Not only does this kill micro-stutters, but it also sets you up with a solid baseline for future upgrades.
