Tempest Rising requirements for PC

To run the Tempest Rising requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 30GB of HDD or SSD space.

Tempest Rising is a classic RTS experience that calls to mind the legendary Command & Conquer and Starcraft series. Despite the strategic complexity of the game and the incredible graphics we've seen in trailers, the actual Tempest Rising system requirements aren't particularly difficult to meet, even on older hardware or gaming rigs.

So, to meet the Tempest Rising minimum requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, an Intel Core i5-7400 processor, and 8GB of RAM. Givent that the developer has not listed any recommended specs on the official Steam page, it is quite likely that the game will run well on the minimum requirements. 

That said, we'd suggest meeting our own Tempest Rising recommended specs to ensure you have a smooth experience on the highest graphics settings. An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 GPU, and Intel Core i5-8600K CPU, and 16GB of RAM should be more than enough to keep your FPS on the higher side.

Of course, even more powerful hardware in top-tier gaming rigs should handle the game even better, though we doubt an RTX 4060 GPU will be anything less than overkill.
