Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Breakpoint: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Breakpoint

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter, played over the shoulder, from Ubisoft Paris, set on a large open-world island. You play an elite special forces soldier stranded behind enemy lines, hunting down a rebel unit of former soldiers armed with drones and advanced technology. Stealth, planning and careful use of your equipment matter as much as shooting, and you can play alone or with friends in online co-op. It is rated PEGI 18. The makers recommend a GTX 1060 or RX 480 and 8 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.

What Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Breakpoint needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, and to play it well the makers suggest a mid-range graphics card from a few years ago, with 8GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

The gap between the minimum and recommended spec is modest, so a mid-range gaming PC gives a good experience.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
