Bottlenecked? Here's what actually moves the needle

If your result flagged a gap, these are the upgrades that fix it fastest.

Graphics Card

An RTX 5060 or RX 9060 XT clears the official Recommended tier and has the ray tracing hardware the game requires.

Amazon

16GB RAM Kit

The cheapest fix on this list if RAM was your flagged bottleneck.

Amazon

1TB NVMe SSD

Upgrading the GPU or CPU? Make sure the rest of the build can support it: check your motherboard's socket and PCIe slot before buying, then see our power supply and CPU cooler guides. A big CPU jump sometimes means a new motherboard too, not just a drop-in swap.

How the verdict is calculated

Each component is scored against the official Minimum (Ryzen 5 2600X / Core i7-6850K / Core i5-10400, RTX 2060 / RX 6600 class GPU, 12GB RAM) and Recommended (Ryzen 5 5600 / Core i5-11600K, RTX 3060 Ti / RTX 5060 / RX 6700 XT class GPU, 16GB RAM) specs, sourced directly from Steam. Because Steam requires a ray tracing capable GPU, GTX 10 and 16 series and RX 500 and 5000 series cards are scored below minimum however fast they are. Full breakdown on the requirements hub. The exact ReadyScore™ formula is on our GameReady Methodology page.
