The Outer Worlds On the Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb
Overall, it runs well, but I would personally dial back the settings one notch to high for overall smoother performance on this card. It does run very much around the 60fps mark, but oddly drops during conversations of all things. The game does have a tendency to stutter too when loading parts of new areas as seen on the 1% lows, but it's overall very playable. It could also be that UWP is also pretty bleh and could be causing some performance loss, but I certainly wasn't gonna play it through EGS! :P The game isn't super CPU demanding so something like an i5 6600k should get by just fine. I did also notice that the game likes to put a ton of resources to the RAM if the GPU VRAM is maxed out like the 1060 3gb in this case. Preset: Very High (Ultra is the highest settings, and they were not used since it would make the game more stuttery) (My recommended preset would be to put the game on the high preset. If you want more visual flair, take the high preset, and turn the textures, and view distance to ultra for performance overall better than shown) Processor: Ryzen 5 3600 at 3.6 Ghz per core (PBO is used) (Six Core Processor) (12 threads) RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200mhz Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1060 with 3GB of GDDR5 memory (NOT THE BETTER 6GB VARIANT. Game probably runs better on the 6GB variant too) SSD: Intel 545 256GB SSD: Kingston A400 240GB Hard Drive: 2TB 7200RPM
