Choosing a graphics card for our 1080p Steel Division 2 PC build
Finding the right graphics card is a great way to get started with any PC game. So let's take a look at the current best price for powerful GPU hardware that isn't dominated by this game but will still run Steel Division 2 at Ultra 1080p settings. Current graphics card prices lead us to the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB as the smartest GPU option for this computer, offering good frame rates at this gaming resolution at Ultra. We've seen this card drop its price by $47.68 recently, which is one of the reasons it's included in this build. Based on our records, our lowest tracked price for this card on November 28, 2019 was $229.99. Today's price of $239.99 is certainly a good price for this hardware considering the performance return goes well with this game.
Our graphics card requires 3GB of onboard VRAM to act as an adequate buffer between our graphics card and the selected CPU. This graphics card has 6 GB, which will be enough for this game at this resolution.
Choosing the Right Steel Division 2 1080p Motherboard and CPU
Proper motherboard selection in this build will help us choose a compatible CPU. With a good price, today we find the ASRock Intel B365 ATX LGA1151 with its LGA 1151 socket, which allows us to select the Core i3-9100F 4-core 3.6 GHz, which now costs $ 157.5. Looking through our data, we can see that the lowest price for this CPU was on May 27th, 2020 which was marked $59. The Division 2 experience at the best price at 1080p.
Today ASRock Intel B365 ATX LGA1151 is competitively priced at $72.99 which earns it a spot in our build today. A registered low price for this motherboard was spotted on April 4th, 2020 where it was $59.99.
How to choose the best RAM for Steel Division 2 at the right price
One of the most important hardware parts of this computer is the system memory or RAM. To ensure our target resolution and frame rates are met, we chose the Patriot Viper Steel Series 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz. This currently costs $42.99 and is reasonably priced compared to the current system memory market. A low price for this Patriot Viper Steel Series 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz was spotted on November 29, 2019 where we saw it for $30.35.
PC performance analysis at Ultra 1080p settings in Steel Division 2
Running a PC with these hardware components for Steel Division 2 we expect an average of 96 FPS, with some low frame rates in some of the more intense scenes. You can increase the graphics quality of the game to Ultra, which will drop the FPS to 69 at 1080p.

How this build works for other popular games
It's also worth considering to ensure our Steel Division 2 PC build will run some of today's most popular games competently at 1080p. Looking at Days Gone, we see that this PC build will likely hit 69 FPS on Ultra and 96 FPS on high graphics settings. In contrast, we can expect Resident Evil 8 to return 69 FPS on Ultra and 96 FPS when scaled down to High. Another popular game right now is Dying Light 2, which has 69 FPS on Ultra and 96 on High graphics settings.

Choosing a high performance mouse for Steel Division 2
Since Steel Division 2 falls into the strategy genre group, we decided to improve the quality of the mouse that we are adding to our PC to better meet the game's needs. We went with the Cooler Master MM710 where this particular mouse currently offers the best price but a more powerful gaming mouse than some of the other mice we typically pick from our builds.
An alternative Steel Division 2 graphics card option for 1080p
Not everyone is a fan of the Nvidia team. So if you're looking for a GPU on the other hand, you might want to check out our recommended AMD card, theRadeon RX Vega56 8GB. It's placed with a 7% better performance difference and certainly capable of delivering Steel Division 2 frames on par with our flagship GPU pick. We also picked it based on its price today which is $899.98.
