FBC Firebreak requirements

Can I run FBC: Firebreak?

To run the FBC Firebreak requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, 16GB of RAM, good broadband, and 30GB of SSD space.

If you merely glance at the FBC Firebreak system requirements, you'd be forgiven for thinking the game isn't all that demanding on older PCs and laptops so long as you can meet the relatively high RAM demand. Unfortunately, you will need NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR due to the use of upscaling on all tiers of hardware requirements that this game has laid out.

The FBC Firebreak minimum requirements call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, an Intel Core i5-7600K processor, and 16GB of RAM, which is only going to net you a 60FPS experience on a 1080p monitor on the "Low" graphics preset. This is, however, conditional on your having upscaling set to "Quality" over "Performance", which is something the GTX 1070 doesn't support, ironically.

As for the FBC Firebreak recommended specs, you'll get a solid 60FPS on a 1440p monitor on the "Medium" graphics preset with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, an Intel Core i5 8500 CPU, and 16GB of RAM. This is also conditional on upscaling being set to "Quality" over "Performance", meaning even this relatively high benchmark won't be enough to get the game running at its best.

No, for that you'll need to meet the FBC Firebreak ultra specs which demand an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, an Intl Core i7-8700K CPU or similar, and 16GB of RAM. At this level, you can finally turn the upscaling options up to "Performance". 

It remains strange that upscaling is an absolute requirements for the FBC Firebreak PC requirements, especially as optimization is a far better route to go down for most gamers. Regardless, you'll want to ensure your graphics card actually supports upscaling via DLSS or FSR before you grab a copy of FBC Firebreak.
