oh wow, thank you so much! what would be the best graphics card to run the game with the settings on high rather than very high?
@1CordeliaRose1 The RX 560 would be absolutely fine now, even on very high settings; the question is how TS4 will develop, specifically whether it will need more graphics power in the future. But I would expect the RX 560 to always be fine on high settings, if not ultra. I don't think you should go lower than that though. The next model down (the RX 550) is only £10 cheaper in the configuration I was playing with, and it's weaker in a couple of respects, including VRAM, the card's built-in memory. The equivalent Nvidia cards are more expensive with Cyberpower, so the only way you'd save money is with a model (a 1030) that's not going to run the game all that well now, let alone in a couple of years.
One other thing I saw with the custom builds is that you could get a significantly better processor for something like £13 more, depending on which model you started with. (There are so many variables, I hadn't noticed when I wrote the previous message.) This is definitely the way to go—you'd have more room for multitasking with multiple demanding apps, and you'd be able to keep the computer longer, swapping out parts rather than getting a new system. Since a new processor would mean a new motherboard, CPU cooler, and maybe power supply, it's always better to get the strongest one you can when you have the chance.
If you're looking to buy now, I can put together the configuration you want and send you the link. If you'd rather wait, just let me know when you're ready. Sales can change, so there's not much point in picking the parts until it's time to buy.
