Why This Build for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 runs at 82 FPS on High at 1440p here, 22 past its 60 Hz mark. At $1200 that margin is the point: the RX 7800 XT holds 60 Hz through the scenes that would otherwise send you into Object Detail.
One rung above the RX 7800 XT, our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 data has the RTX 5070 TI at 112 FPS — 30 frames, near 37%, measured at 1440p in this game rather than averaged over a suite. Pricing on that SKU moves enough to make it a week-by-week call. $1200 caps graphics at $550 and funds the platform Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 runs on with the remainder.
CryEngine is running a medieval daily-routine system here, not just a renderer — every villager in Kuttenberg has somewhere to be — and that behaviour simulation plus the city's draw-call count is why the worst frame rates in the game happen in town at noon on a clear day rather than in a forest at night, which is the opposite of how most open worlds behave. Read the parts table with that in mind. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is CPU-bound, so the Intel Core i5-13400F is the row that decides your 60 Hz, and the RX 7800 XT is sized to keep pace rather than to lead.
The RX 7800 XT across every Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 resolution we hold data for — 1080p: 106 FPS, on Ultra, asking about 7 GB; 1440p: 82 FPS, on High, asking about 9 GB; 4K: 47 FPS, on High, asking about 11 GB. $1200 is quoted at 1440p — the rest of that ladder is what Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 does to the same card at a bigger target, before Object Detail gives.
On memory, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 asks for about 9 GB on High at 1440p, against 16 GB on the RX 7800 XT — 7 GB spare, enough that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 textures are not a decision a $1200 buyer has to make.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 ships DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The native 82 already beats 60 Hz, so DLSS is headroom for heavy scenes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, not a default.
