Train Simulator NEXT automatically adjusts the graphics quality depending on the hardware. Newer GPU generations are also supported and included in the configuration table. Otherwise, the set quality is based on the flagship model of the latest GPU generation.

To achieve the 16 GB of requested video memory, video memory can be combined with shared memory from the main memory. This is not recommended for performance reasons, but is technically possible.

Please note that these requirements are based on a future release date.
