| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT |
| GPU Memory | 6 GB | 8 GB | 8 GB | 10 GB |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-7600K AMD Ryzen 5 1600X | Intel Core i5-8500 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | Intel Core i5-8500 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | Intel Core i7-8700K AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| Storage | 30 GB SSD | 30 GB SSD | 30 GB SSD | 30 GB SSD |
For minimum performance targeting 1080p at 60 FPS with upscaling set to Quality, players will need a system equipped with either an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU with 6 GB of VRAM. The CPU requirement starts at an Intel Core i5-7600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, supported by 16 GB of RAM. The game runs on Windows 10/11 64-bit and demands 30 GB of SSD storage.
The recommended setup targets 1440p at 60 FPS with medium graphics settings and upscaling also set to Quality. This configuration calls for a GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, both featuring 8 GB of VRAM. A slightly more powerful CPU such as the Intel Core i5-8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is needed, while RAM, OS, and storage requirements remain the same.
For high-end performance at 4K resolution with high graphics settings and upscaling set to Performance, users will need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT with 8 GB of VRAM, along with the same Intel Core i5-8500 or Ryzen 5 2600 processor, 16 GB RAM, and 30 GB SSD storage.
Those looking to enable ray tracing while maintaining 4K at 60 FPS will need a top-tier GPU such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT with 10 GB of VRAM. The required CPU jumps to an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, although RAM, operating system, and storage needs remain consistent.
FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative first-person shooter set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces. In it, three players assume the roles of Firebreak operatives, which are the Bureau’s first responders tasked with containing paranormal crises within the Oldest House (the Federal Bureau of Control’s extradimensional headquarters). Players can customise loadouts with weapons, crisis kits, and paranormal upgrades, preferably in a way that synergises with other teammates. Your job is to survive waves of Hiss-infected enemies while completing various tasks to contain outbreaks. The game seems to be quite hectic with enemies coming from every direction and objects flying all over the place, so there’s little surprise that it’s a bit more demanding than it seems at first glance.
