Why Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is demanding
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets 8 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Disk footprint is light, near 75 GB on an SSD. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 scales hard with the hardware you give it. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a 8 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070-class graphics card, with 6 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon RX 580 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 needs about 75 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
