To fit with the above graphics card we have chosen a well priced motherboard, the GIGABYTE GA-A320M mATX AM4, that will allow us to slot in a compatible Ryzen 3 3200G processor based around the shared Socket AM4 socket. With the chosen cpu and gpu working together we will get a great Weird West experience, that helps achieve steady frames at this resolution. The chosen cpu has itself been selected because it represents a good fit with the game and the price we found it at when comparing today’s cpu market prices, finding it currently priced at $193.74. Our cheapest price recorded for the Ryzen 3 3200G was $83.59, which we spotted on 17th Jun 2020.

PC Performance Review at 1080p Ultra Settings on Weird West

With our key performance components in place we are expecting to see this setup running Weird West at around 63 average frames per second, on 1080p screen resolution. This should be achieved on ultra graphics settings. If you turn a few graphics options down we expect around 88 FPS at high graphics.

If this 1080p build was to run Weird West at 1440p Ultra, by increasing its screen size, then the FPS it would return on High would be around an average of 67 FPS. At Ultra we expect the average to be 48.

How this build performs for other popular games

It’s worth taking into consideration how our Weird West PC build handles other games. We’ll do this by looking at the current popular titles FIFA 22, Days Gone and Resident Evil 8. Starting with FIFA 22 we can see that at 1080p we are likely to see 63FPS on Ultra and 88FPS on High graphics settings. Alternatively we see Days Gone likely to achieve 63FPS on Ultra and 88FPS when reduced to High. Finally with Resident Evil 8 at Ultra setting we can expect 63 FPS, raising to 88 FPS on High graphics settings.

An Alternative Weird West Graphics Card Option for 1080p

Not everyone is interested in going with a AMD card, like the one we have opted for in this build. So you could try going for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB instead, which comes with a 118% better performance adjustment when compared to Radeon RX 550X 4GB, and is certainly a solid video card choice for our build. We selected it while also considering its current price point, it is costing $239.99 at the moment.
