Can a AMD Radeon R9 270X run HELLDIVERS™ 2?
The AMD Radeon R9 270X falls below the minimum requirement for HELLDIVERS™ 2, and its 2GB of VRAM is under the 4GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the AMD Radeon R9 270X measures up
| Requirement | AMD Radeon R9 270X | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 12 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 7 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 2GB you are under the 6GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title is unusually CPU-heavy, so it matters more than usual here.
