# Best PC for Marvel Rivals in 2026

Reviewed 12 August 2026 · FixFix Labs build desk

— The short answer

Marvel Rivals is an Unreal Engine 5 hero shooter that's heavier than most competitive titles — it wants a stronger GPU and 8GB+ VRAM for high frame rates. Target an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT at 1440p and lean on upscaling for competitive frames. A FixFixLabs build starts around £1,000.

— Hardware priorities

## What actually matters for Marvel Rivals

Being UE5, Rivals is more GPU-demanding than typical hero shooters, so a mid-range-plus GPU with 8GB+ VRAM is needed for high competitive frame rates. Upscaling helps. Don't treat it like Overwatch — it needs more graphics card.

1.  01 Unreal Engine 5 — heavier than most hero shooters. 
2.  02 8GB+ VRAM recommended for high frame rates. 
3.  03 Upscaling helps hit competitive frames at 1440p. 
4.  04 Needs more GPU than Overwatch 2 or Valorant.
