About
To achieve smooth performance in this simulation and strategy title, an entry-level GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is recommended. With these graphics cards, you can expect to play at 1080p with medium settings, providing a good balance of visuals and performance. For those with more powerful hardware, such as a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600, you can comfortably push settings to high at 1080p or even explore 1440p resolutions while maintaining a solid frame rate.
The game's requirements are quite accessible, making it suitable for a wide range of systems. If you're on older hardware, such as a GTX 1050 or RX 560, you may need to lower settings to ensure a playable experience, but the game is designed to be forgiving for lower-end configurations. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for gamers looking for a strategy experience without the need for cutting-edge hardware; even modest setups can enjoy the depth and automation of gameplay.
Performance profile
As a strategy title, Substructure 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.
Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Substructure. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
