About
Chess Ultra, released in 2017, is arguably the most visually stunning chess game to date, bringing a fresh take on the classic strategy genre. Its impressive 4K graphics, seamless online multiplayer, and AI developed with input from chess Grandmasters make it a standout title. This game caters not only to chess aficionados but also to casual players looking for an engaging experience that blends action and strategy within an accessible format.
In terms of PC performance, Chess Ultra is quite approachable, making it a great choice even for gamers with entry-level GPUs. To achieve a smooth gaming experience with decent FPS, players should aim for a GPU with a minimum score of around 1038, while ensuring they have at least 4 GB of RAM. Lower graphical settings can help achieve playable performance on modest hardware, ensuring that even casual gamers can enjoy the breathtaking visuals without needing top-tier components.
Given its 70/100 rating and its unique blend of accessible gameplay and impressive graphics, Chess Ultra is definitely worth playing for both strategy enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. With its various modes and full VR compatibility, it provides an immersive chess experience that can be both relaxing and intellectually stimulating.
Performance profile
June 2017 release. Chess Ultra was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
As a strategy title, Chess Ultra is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Chess Ultra runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
