Gameplay Dynamics & Hardware Priorities

Pacing & Style

大範圍探索、聚落 NPC、動態天候與室內戰鬥會造成不同負載,複雜光照使顯示卡壓力持續存在。開放世界的場景調度也讓 CPU 與儲存不能被忽略。

Key Hardware Focus

官方建議配置同時提升 CPU、GPU 和記憶體,代表這不是單一零件升級就能完整解決的遊戲。最低顯示卡多為 6 至 8 GB 顯示記憶體級別,內顯不在合理範圍。

Settings Optimization

先調整全域光照、陰影、反射、毛髮與升頻品質,並降低人口或物件相關選項。若跨區或進入聚落時頓挫,應檢查 SSD 與記憶體,而非只降低輸出解析度。
