To accompany the graphics option we have put a compatible motherboard into the build.

This CPU is a great fit for Diablo 2 Resurrected and balances nicely with the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB, to help reach the right frame rates at this resolution.

With the larger screen resolutions always being of interest and something to consider, let’s take a look at how this build could perform. Running a 1440p Diablo II Remake we would expect 67 FPS at High and a drop to 48 when run at 1440p Ultra.

Star Citizen is expected to return 67 FPS when run on Ultra which increases to around 94 frames per second on High. It Takes Two would return 63 FPS on Ultra and then go up to 88 FPS at High settings. With Outriders we expect 48 FPS running at Ultra settings and 67 frames on High settings.

An Alternative Diablo 2 Resurrected Graphics Card Option for 1080p

Perhaps you are after a AMD graphics card rather than the one we have added to this build. If so we would suggest the similar performing Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB, which has a 7% better performance variation, but is still a suitable video card choice for this game. We have also considered the best value for performance based on today’s prices, with it costing $899.98 at the moment.
