Performance profile
Released in September 2016, Children of a Dead Earth sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
As a strategy title, Children of a Dead Earth 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 — Children of a Dead Earth 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.
Storyline
After Earth was consumed by a runaway greenhouse effect, humanity took to the nearby planets. Now, conflict brews between two major factions, the United Sol Trade Alliance and the Republic of the Free People.
