God of War at a glance
God of War is an action game from 2022. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD RX 570 (4 GB). It asks for 8 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB).
Our estimate: you need about a GTX 980 Ti for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while a GTX 750 Ti can hold around 30 FPS on Low.
