5 best GPUs for Concord

Concord went live for early-access beta users on July 12, 2014. However, the global open beta will not happen anytime before July 18, 2024. The title's developer, Sony Interactive Entertainment, has released the system requirements already. The game requires some beefy graphics cards to run well at 1440p and 4K. You cannot play it on an older GPU like the Nvidia GTX 1060 or GTX 1650.

This article lists some of the best graphics cards that can run Firewalk Studios' first-person hero shooter smoothly. Before we begin with the GPU list, let's first look at the game's system requirements.
