Tempest Rising is an RTS game reminiscent of titles like Command & Conquer. However, its classic inspiration doesn’t mean it holds back on its visuals. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Tempest Rising is a beautiful-looking game with great attention to detail. Tanks kick up dust as they roll across the landscape, buildings crumble into rubble as they are destroyed, and even the worker mining animations are a satisfying sight to behold. Let’s take a look at how beefy your PC needs to be to run Tempest Rising at various settings.

Tempest Rising is well-optimized for PC and can be played on Windows 10 and 11 OS. The title requires between 8 and 16 GB of RAM and should be installed on an SSD or faster storage drive with 45 GB of available space. 

Minimum System Requirements 

To play the game at 1080p and 30 fps, the minimum system requirements are an Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor or better. On the graphics side, the least powerful GPU that can run the game is Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580 8GB. At its lowest settings, Tempest Rising is accessible to nearly everyone, even with decade-old hardware.

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8600 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or better
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 (3GB/6GB) / AMD RX 580 (8GB) or better

To run Tempest Rising with the highest possible settings at 1080p 60 fps, a PC will need to meet its recommended system requirements. They require an Intel Core i5-11600k or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor or faster, and an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8GB or AMD 7600 XT 16GB or faster. 

The RTX 3060, 3060 Ti, 4060, and 4060 Ti are among the most common GPUs for Steam users. Combined, they account for around 16% of all GPUs used on the platform. As a result, we can assume that most Steam PC users will be able to run Tempest Rising on high settings with relative ease. If your hardware surpasses the recommended system requirements, then it can support the game at higher framerates and resolutions. 

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-11600k / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or better
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8GB / AMD 7600 XT 16GB or better
