SpecBeacon PC requirements and FPS guides
This hub is for readers who land on SpecBeacon through queries like system requirements, PC requirements, benchmark, FPS, optimization, 1% low FPS, or GPU upgrade. Instead of repeating raw store blurbs, these guides explain how to turn PC requirements into a real desktop decision.
Use these guides when average FPS looks fine but the game still feels rough once scenes get heavier.
Open guideRead these before buying a GPU or CPU so you can aim for the first upgrade that materially changes the result.
