Stellar Blade SA Gaming PC Build Guide

Quick Answer

Stellar Blade is a modern, visually rich action game, so for 1440p high you want a mid-to-upper GPU around the RTX 4070 class with a 6-core CPU and 16GB of RAM; budget roughly R20,000-R28,000 for a comfortable build. A value PC near R16,000 still handles 1080p high at 60 fps.

Build Tiers For Stellar Blade

For 1080p high at a steady 60 fps, a value build with a current mid-range GPU, a Ryzen 5 or Core i5 CPU and 16GB of RAM does the job around R16,000. Stepping to 1440p high at 60-90 fps calls for an upper-mid GPU like the RTX 4070 class, paired with a 6-core CPU and a fast NVMe SSD, landing near R24,000. For 1440p high refresh or 4K, move up a GPU tier and budget toward R30,000.

The game leans on the GPU more than the CPU, so prioritise graphics horsepower once your CPU is a modern 6-core.

Components That Matter

Stellar Blade's polished visuals reward VRAM and GPU power, so a 12GB+ card keeps textures maxed at higher resolutions. A fast NVMe SSD cuts load times and helps streaming assets, and 16GB of RAM is the minimum with 32GB giving headroom for background apps. Quality upscaling helps reach higher frame rates at 1440p and 4K. A 650-750W PSU suits these GPU tiers.

FAQ

What PC do I need for Stellar Blade at 1440p?

An upper-mid GPU around the RTX 4070 class, a 6-core CPU and 16GB of RAM (32GB ideal). That holds 1440p high at 60-90 fps, with a build cost near R24,000 in SA.

Is Stellar Blade GPU or CPU heavy?

GPU heavy. Its rich visuals lean on the graphics card, so once you have a modern 6-core CPU, extra budget is best spent on a stronger GPU and more VRAM.

Will a value PC run Stellar Blade?

Yes, at 1080p high around 60 fps with a current mid-range GPU, a Ryzen 5 or Core i5, and 16GB of RAM. That value tier costs roughly R16,000 in SA.
