Most powerful PC for TF2

[ItsMeRachata]

What system configuration could play TF2 Max Settings and get highest FPS? TF2 is a CPU demanding game so I'll guess the 10900K or 3950X/upcoming 4950X anything over these I think will be too overkill. For GPU, I think 2060/upcoming 3060 anything over this way too overkill.

What we need to know is the refresh rate of the monitor you are using and resolution. Any more fps than that would be totally useless as it won't be displayed anyways. Tf2 is a dual core game so a athlon 3000g + rx560 would easily push well over the 100fps easily. It's an old game that runs on potato systems super easy to max out.

What do you mean with TF2? Team Fortress 2?

If yes, this game can run on anything, even at high refresh rates.

 

If you only play this game, spending 500$+ on a CPU only is completely wasted money. A r5 3600 will be more than enough, you can go even lower...

Team Fortress? That game could probably run on a modern phone.

Team Fortress 2?

Titanfall 2?

The Forest 2?

Any reasonably modern 4-core processor should be way more than enough for TF2, with enough left over for background tasks. I think the recommended specs for that game are somewhere around a Core 2 Duo, and even a high-end Core 2 Quad like a QX9650 is 1/4th or less the performance of a Ryzen 3 3100.

Like the others have said, there's no need for a top of the line CPU or GPU. TF2 could probably run on a toaster these days.

Been playing since 2013, you really just want something with single core performance and high as fuck clocks (so, something like a 10600K/10900K). Most reasonable modern GPUs can power through the game maxed out at 1440p or higher and something like a 2060 could probably blaze through it at 5120x2880, if that's desirable.
