Nocturnal 2 asks for a GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 560X at minimum and 8GB of RAM, aimed at 1080p and 60 FPS. South African upgraders should match RAM to the board first, since DDR5 sticks do not fit older PCs.
Two lines on the Steam page settle the Nocturnal 2 GPU requirements: a GeForce GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 560X as the minimum graphics card, and 8GB of RAM, aimed at 1080p and 60 FPS. That is a light ask by 2026 standards. The risk is not the card, it is buying the wrong memory when you upgrade, because RAM generations do not mix.
Nocturnal 2 asks for a GTX 1050 or RX 560X and 8GB of RAM at minimum, with a target of 1080p at 60 FPS. Most gaming PCs from the last six or seven years clear that. If the card needs replacing, a 6GB RTX 3050 at R4,399 from Evetech is a large step above the minimum. Check which RAM type your board takes before ordering any memory.
The GTX 1050 launched in 2016 with 2GB of video memory, and the RX 560X is its AMD-side counterpart. Both are entry-level cards, which means a 1080p screen is the intended match. Step up a tier and you have headroom; step down, to integrated graphics, and you are guessing.
Open dxdiag from the Start menu, go to Display and read the chip name. If it reads GTX 1050 or something newer, you are inside the line. If you also have a 1440p or 144Hz monitor, the minimum card is not designed for that, so give yourself a bigger card than the floor.
Eight gigabytes is the stated minimum. Opening Task Manager, Performance, Memory shows what you have and which speed it runs at. The catch for upgraders: a board built for DDR4 will not accept DDR5 sticks, and laptops use smaller SO-DIMM sticks that fit neither a desktop board nor a different generation. A shelf full of DDR5 does not mean your older PC supports it. Look up the motherboard or laptop model, confirm DDR3, DDR4 or DDR5, and then buy.
If you run two sticks of 4GB, replacing them with 8GB sticks brings you to 16GB and uses both channels, which helps with game streaming and browser tabs alike.
Not every player needs one. If you own a GTX 1650 or better, keep the money. If you sit on a GT 710 type card or integrated graphics, the least expensive sensible jump is a 6GB RTX 3050, R4,399 for Palit's StormX or R5,199 for MSI's Ventus 2X. For a varsity student on a first desktop in a Cape Town flat, either one clears the minimum, and the 6GB of GDDR6 is a comfortable fit for 1080p. View the Nvidia GeForce shelf, the current graphics card deals, or a complete budget gaming build if the whole machine is dated.
A GeForce GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 560X is the minimum. The stated target is 1080p at 60 FPS.
8GB at minimum, as listed on Steam. If you upgrade, buy the memory type your motherboard supports.
Steam names dedicated cards for the minimum, so integrated graphics is a gamble. Wait for player reports from launch before counting on it.
The stated minimum is 8GB, so 16GB gives you headroom rather than a requirement, and it helps if a browser and chat app run beside the game.
