SYS REQ

Prepare your rig for the breach into the Oldest House. Whether you’re running on legacy hardware or bleeding‑edge silicon, this guide will help you find the sweet spot between immersive visuals and rock‑solid performance.

Note: For optimal load times and stability, install FBC: Firebreak on an SSD or NVMe drive. A broadband connection is required for live services and post‑launch content.

Minimum

Entry‑level rigs that can handle the basics expect lower detail but a smooth frame rate.

  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5‑7600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X (or equivalent)

  • Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5600XT

  • GPU Memory (VRAM): 6 GB

  • Memory (RAM): 16 GB

  • Storage: 30 GB SSD

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64‑bit)

  • Graphics Preset: Low

  • AVG Performance: 1080p @ 60 FPS (Upscaler: Quality)

Pro Tip: Dial back shadows, post‑processing, and crowd density if you see stutters in high‑action zones.

Recommended

Balanced performance and visuals for most agents, smooth 1440p action without sacrificing too much detail.

  • Processor (CPU): Intel i5‑8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600

  • Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon  RX  6600 XT (8 GB VRAM)

  • GPU Memory (VRAM): 8 GB

  • Memory (RAM): 16 GB

  • Storage: 30 GB SSD

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64‑bit)

  • Graphics Preset: Medium

  • AVG Performance: 1440p @ 60 FPS (Upscaler: Quality)

Pro Tip: Enable DLSS/FSR where supported for a boost in frame rates with minimal quality loss.

High

For agents demanding 4K fidelity, high settings deliver crisp environments and details in every breach.

  • Processor (CPU): Intel i5‑8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600

  • Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

  • GPU Memory (VRAM): 8 GB

  • Memory (RAM): 16 GB

  • Storage: 30 GB SSD

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64‑bit)

  • Graphics Preset: High

  • AVG Performance: 4K @ 60 FPS (Upscaler: Performance)

Pro Tip: Crank volumetric effects and ambient occlusion for unparalleled immersion just keep an eye on GPU temps.

High Ray Tracing

The pinnacle of visual realism, ray‑traced reflections, shadows, and global illumination make the Oldest House feel alive.

  • Processor (CPU): Intel i7‑8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600

  • Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD RX 9070XT

  • GPU Memory (VRAM): 10 GB

  • Memory (RAM): 16 GB

  • Storage: 30 GB SSD

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64‑bit)

  • Graphics Preset: High + Ray Tracing High

  • AVG Performance: 4K @ 60 FPS (Upscaler: Performance)

Pro Tip: Combine ray tracing with DLSS  or FSR  to maintain fluid frame rates even in the most graphically intense encounters.

Finding Your Balance

Every setup is unique background apps, driver versions, and OS tweaks can sway performance. Use these specs as a baseline, then experiment with individual settings (textures, shadows, particles) to hit your personal sweet spot between eye‑candy and frame stability.

Optimization Tips

  • Keep your GPU drivers updated for stability and optimization.

  • Close any background tasks (browsers, overlays) before launching.

  • Lower crowd density or disable motion blur for performance boosts on tight hardware.
