- OS: Windows 10/11
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i5-8400
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD RX 5700, Nvidia GTX 1070, or Intel Arc A580

- VSync: Disable to reduce input lag; enable if you experience screen tearing.
- Field of View: Around 90 degrees provides a balanced view.
- Motion Blur: Disable for clearer visuals.
