To play Arknights: Endfield on PC, which hardware should be upgraded first?

If you experience unstable frame rates, slow loading, or screen stuttering in the game, upgrading your hardware is the most direct solution. It is recommended to upgrade in the following order to achieve the greatest benefit.

Upgrade your graphics card (GPU) to improve visual quality and combat smoothness

The graphics card is the core component responsible for rendering detailed game scenes and special effects. If you are still using a graphics card like the GTX 1060 or RX 580, upgrading to a model such as the RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT will significantly enhance visual details, lighting effects, and frame rates during large-scale battles at high graphics settings, making the wonders and combat effects in Tower of Fantasy 2 even more impressive.

Use a solid-state drive (SSD) for seamless exploration and fast loading

Arknights: Endfield features a vast seamless world map. Installing the game on an SSD, compared to a traditional HDD, brings a revolutionary improvement to the experience. Map area transitions and scene loading times will be significantly reduced, allowing for truly smooth exploration.

Processor (CPU) and Memory (RAM), ensuring complex scenes and multi-unit calculations

When dealing with real-time tactical commands, environmental interactions, and large-scale unit AI calculations in the game, a powerful CPU is essential for smooth gameplay. Upgrading from the minimum requirements to the recommended i7-10700 or R7 3700X can effectively reduce lag in complex scenarios. At the same time, ensuring 16GB of memory provides ample resource buffering for the game.

Arknights: Endfield - Recommended Best Graphics and Frame Rate Settings for PC Version

A stable frame rate is key to ensuring responsive real-time tactical controls and an immersive exploration experience. Depending on your needs, we recommend referring to the following settings:

• 60 FPS: Standard smooth experience. This is the most common standard, providing consistent and fluid visuals that meet most players' needs for strategy and exploration.

• 90 FPS to 120 FPS: High smoothness experience. Higher frame rates deliver even smoother graphics and lower input latency, allowing your commands to respond more quickly during real-time battles that require precise micro-control.

• 144 FPS and above: Esports-level smoothness experience. Ideal for use with high refresh rate monitors, fully unleashing top-tier hardware performance for an impeccable, ultra-smooth visual experience.
