Does meeting the table guarantee smooth performance?

No. These are the publisher’s listed categories, not our benchmark results. Individual GPUs within a series differ substantially. Do not assume every RTX 3000 card delivers the same outcome, and do not interpret a CPU socket as a full performance specification.

What should I check if performance is poor?

Install the current game patch and a stable graphics driver, then change one graphics setting at a time. Record the resolution and scene when comparing performance. The September 5 hotfix addresses specific crashes and a Series S rendering issue; it does not establish a universal PC performance fix.
