Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 3070 or RX 6800; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is below its minimum on video memory.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 recommends a Ryzen 7 5800X or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 7600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB min · 8 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 8 GB. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 8 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
