Creative Assembly said since all systems perform differently, the framerates listed were based on PCs using the quoted specs with fresh OS installs, no major background programs running, and should “be taken as a guide rather than an absolute.”
It also noted since the game is still in development and undergoing optimisation, the specs are subject to change.
