What to know about this profile

These notes explain the main assumptions behind this game's RightRig profile. Cited benchmarks, when present, are listed under More detail. Not summarized again here.

id Tech 8 (May 2025). Hardware ray tracing is mandatory at all settings—GTX 10-series and older GPUs are ineligible. Official minimum is RTX 2060 Super or RX 6600 with 8 GB VRAM, an 8-core/16-thread CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X / i7-10700K), and an NVMe SSD. Path Tracing is an optional post-launch mode added in the June 2025 patch and is not the default baseline; the tune-down list reflects both RT and PT levers. Profile is provisional (Estimated).
