GPU Upgrade Guide

Use this page when a readiness result points to graphics as the first weak point. A GPU can help, but the right choice depends on resolution, target FPS, power supply, case space, and real game benchmarks.

CPU Upgrade Guide

Use this page when a readiness result points to CPU limits. A CPU upgrade can help with simulation, crowds, streaming, and high FPS targets, but it often depends on motherboard and memory support.

ram

RAM Upgrade Guide

Use this page when a readiness result points to low memory. More RAM can reduce stutter and background-app pressure, but it must match the motherboard and existing memory setup.

storage

SSD Upgrade Guide

Use this page when a readiness result points away from HDD storage. An SSD can improve loading and streaming behavior, but it does not replace a weak GPU or CPU.

How to use these pages

  • Run a readiness check first so the guide matches your actual weak point.
  • Use the guide to compare options, not as a command to buy.
  • Check official specs and real benchmarks when they become available.
  • Do not replace parts that are not holding back your chosen target.
