Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We used the latest public release version of the game (not a press pre-release or the cracked leaked version). We also used the latest drivers from NVIDIA and AMD. We didn't use the game's integrated benchmark as it doesn't give accurate results and rather used regular gameplay.

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has 11 GB of VRAM, we tested the game's memory usage at the highest settings.

VRAM usage at Ultra can be described as "acceptable" for lower resolutions, but with 3 GB at 1080p, every recent graphics card from this segment should be able to handle memory requirements. For higher resolutions, memory requirements are very modest—all modern graphics cards that can drive these resolutions have 8 GB of VRAM or more.
