| Recommended GPU is based on 3x Internal, ~1080p resolution requirements. Higher resolutions will require stronger cards; 6x Internal, ~4K resolution will require a [https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html PassMark G3D Mark] rating around 12000 (GeForce RTX 2060, Radeon RX 6600 or Intel Arc A750). Just like CPU requirements, this is also highly game dependent.<ref group=N2 name=GPUintensive>[https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Category:GPU_intensive_games GPU-intensive games (PCSX2 wiki)], [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-LIST-The-Most-GPU-Intensive-Games GPU-intensive games (PCSX2 forum thread)]</ref>
