Performance profile
Released in January 2020, Grimalkin: Solar Defense Force targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
As a strategy title, Grimalkin: Solar Defense Force 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.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Grimalkin: Solar Defense Force; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Grimalkins fought bravely against the initial wave but what remained of Admiral Fluffy Duffy's fleet is Unknown. All that stands between earth and utter destruction is the Grimalkin Solar Defense Force and their nigh impervious Hyper Field Barriers.
