Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics runs smoothly at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("1.8 GHz processor") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Supreme Commander, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
