The publisher lists GeForce GTX 970 (tier 4), Radeon RX 5700 (tier 6); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 6.

How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
