I want to buy a best priced gaming PC that can run It Takes Two on Ultra. This is what we will be looking to explore and maintain in our review page here today. So we are finding the best priced peripherals and hardware for a new PC build that can run It Takes Two In doing this we keep in mind our need to deliver the game reliably with ultra settings selected, getting its visuals from a 1080p resolution monitor screen. The hardware selection should give us all a good jumping off point when considering what might prove a good build and price for a PC to run It Takes Two. We will update prices here as they change and switch out components as new, better hardware is released.
Today we find It Takes Two is not in our top demanding games list and in our list at 9 of most popular games. It also falls in under the Action, Adventure game genre types, which itself can influence some of our choices of hardware today, to make sure we better meet the hardware needs of the game. This sort of information will help us build a fuller picture and better understand what to select when putting our best build PC together for the game. Interestingly, it might be worth thinking about the performance of the hardware that the game was originally built on, which would have been from 2021 and shortly before. So the devs themselves may have been aiming for hardware with performance capability from this particular period.

Lets not pay over the odds when we put this game’s graphics card in. We want something that can play It Takes Two at 1080p ultra graphics options and we want something that has a reasonable price compared to the other graphics options. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB has been looking like a good stand in for this games curated PC build, based on the price of $239.99 that we found it marked at today. It will certainly help return suitable FPS, which we will go into a bit later in the article, at ultra 1080p. For reference, the lowest price recorded by us so far for the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB is $229.99 on 28th Nov 2019. Looking a little deeper at this cards pricing history shows this card has seen a drop in its price by $47.68 over the last two weeks.
We also want the graphics card to have at least 4GB VRAM onboard. The video card in this build has 6 which will act as a good data buffer between the processor and the graphics hardware.
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 GeForce GTX 1660 Super Asus Dual Evo OC 6GB wants a suitable good pairing when looking to run It Takes Two well at this resolution. The Core i3-9350K 4-Core 4.0GHz is currently priced at a competitive $165.73. Looking through our data we can see the lowest price for this cpu was on 1st Dec 2020, which had it marked up at $161.03.
Chosen for price point, socket type and feature list, the MSI B360M PRO-VD Intel mATX LAG1151 has a cost today of $49.46. We have checked the mobo prices and found that on 28th Dec 2019, this motherboard was priced at a low of $32.99.
Our PC needs some well placed system memory to support our chosen CPU and GPU selections. As we are looking to achieve the 1080p ultra frame rates the Silicon Power 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 RAM 2666MHz is currently priced at $52.99, which is among the better priced RAM today. To provide a RAM pricing benchmark the lowest recorded price we have for the Silicon Power 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 RAM 2666MHz is $50 on 7th Aug 2020.
A PC build like this can expect to get an average of 88 FPS on High settings in It Takes Two 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 63.
With the larger screen resolutions always being of interest and something to consider, let’s take a look at how this build could perform. Running a 1440p It Takes Two we would expect 67 FPS at High and a drop to 48 when run at 1440p Ultra.
Ensuring our PC build for It Takes Two runs some of the more popular games of today competently at 1080p is also something worth considering. Looking at Far Cry 6 we see this pc build is likely to get 37FPS on Ultra and 52FPS on High graphics settings. In contrast we can expect Resident Evil 8 to return 48FPS on Ultra and 67FPS when lowered to High. Another popular game at the moment is Star Citizen, which is 67 FPS running at Ultra, and 94 on High graphics settings.
If you are looking for a graphics card from AMD instead of the one we have selected in this build then you could try Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB, which has a 7% better performance difference, so still similar capabilities. We have chosen it based on its price-performance figure as well, as it is currently priced at $899.98.
