Choosing A Graphics Card For Our 1080p Lego DC Super-Villains PC Build

Our challenge is not overpaying for hardware we dont need, but making sure we get enough performance from our system that we can play Lego DC Super-Villains at 1080p ultra settings. Reviewing all the prices today our choice for best graphics card for this title points us squarely at the Radeon RX 560 2GB. It is capable of delivering suitable frame rates at ultra 1080p. As a point of interest this graphics card has increased its price by $99.99 over the past two weeks. Out of interest our lowest price tracked on this graphics card was on 28th Nov 2019 where we saw it for $99.99. With a price of $99.99 today its certainly very competitive, considering the performance this gpu can return.

We also want the graphics card to have at least 2GB VRAM onboard. The video card in this build has 2 which will act as a good data buffer between the processor and the graphics hardware.

Selecting The Right Lego DC Super-Villains 1080p Motherboard and CPU

Finding a well priced motherboard, like the one we are putting in our build today really helps tie things together in terms of performance and opens up other hardware options that become available to us later in the selection. The MSI B360M PRO-VD Intel mATX LAG1151 motherboard is at a great price point and lets us select our desired LGA 1151 cpu. As the Radeon RX 560 2GB wants a suitable good pairing when looking to run Lego DC Super-Villains well at this resolution. The Core i3-8100 4-Core 3.6GHz is currently priced at a competitive $182.24. Giving us a bit more of an insight we saw this processor being sold for a low price of $109.99, which was on 13th Dec 2019.

Having the competitive price tag of $49.46, the MSI B360M PRO-VD Intel mATX LAG1151 motherboard’s strong price point today helps it stay in this Lego DC Super-Villains PC build. Bottom motherboard prices recorded for this mobo was when we saw it at $32.99, on 28th Dec 2019.

How To Choose The Best RAM For Lego DC Super-Villains At The Right Price

It is currently priced at $32.99. While among the best priced system memory for this build it will still provide us with the ability to reach our desired FPS for the 1080p ultra setting, that we have been focusing on with this PC.

PC Performance Review at 1080p Ultra Settings on Lego DC Super-Villains

A PC build like this can expect to get an average of 76 FPS on High settings in Lego DC Super-Villains at 1080p. There may be some lower frame rates in some parts of the game, but we have chosen the components to get some solid frame rates. Increasing the quality in the game to Ultra, will see us still getting an FPS of 55.

At some point you might want to increase your screen size from 1080p to 1440p. Lego DC Super-Villains running with this hardware on the larger screen resolution would return 42 FPS at Ultra graphics setting or possibly up to an average of 58 FPS on High settings.

How this build performs for other popular games

To ensure we are making a good choice with this Lego DC Super-Villains PC build we can check to see if it performs consistently across a variety of games.

Starting with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War we can expect to be seeing an Ultra FPS of 33 and at High settings an FPS of 46 frames. In comparison FIFA 21 is likely to see an Ultra FPS of around 106, improving to 145 FPS on High settings. Lastly Far Cry 6 will see an Ultra FPS of around 0 which improves to a 0 FPS on High settings.

It has a 1% worse performance difference compared to our selected Radeon RX 560 2GB. Obviously we have chosen it as the cheapest price to performance offering in this range. It is currently priced at $149.99.
