Only one day away from official release, its time to consider what the best GPU for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that will not only match the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League system requirements, but will optimize your graphics for a better gaming experience. 

Officially released tomorrow, the new Suicide Squad is still available to pre purchase for $69.99 / £69.99 on Steam. This action, third-person shooter is produced by Rocksteady, the creators of the Batman: Arkham series, who boast that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is “genre defying”, set in the open-map, brand new Metropolis location and allowing you to play as one of the four core members of the Suicide Squad as you try to – you guessed it – kill the Justice League. 

Best GPU for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League at a glance

The new Suicide Squad demands either a minimum graphics card of Nvidia’s GTX 1070 or AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 56 to be able to run the game, but that doesn’t mean it will be an enjoyable gameplay experience. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s minimum system requirements with a GTX 1070 will enable you to play the game at about 1080p at 30fps, with all of your display settings at their lowest; which doesn’t bode well if you want decent graphics and a relatively good framerate. It’s even more complicated when you consider what the best laptop for Suicide Squad is, too. Below we’ve outlined three of our top graphics cards recommendations that not only meet but exceed the minimum and recommended system requirements, while also bearing in mind different budgets.

1. Best GPU for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League – best overall

MSI Gaming RTX 4070 Ti Super

VRAM

Base Clock

2655MHz

Boost Clock

Recommended PSU

Pros
  • Can comfortably support 1440p to 4K graphics
  • No increased NSRP
  • Average framerate of 100+fps at 1440p
Cons
  • More expensive that alternatives

One of the new Nvidia graphics cards released in January, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is capable of running at 1440p with little issues, maintaining a healthy 93fps during our playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 when we reviewed the RTX 4070 Ti Super. It even got up to 133fps in 1440p during Assassin’s Creed Mirage gameplay and got up to 197fps during Doom Eternal at 4K, which vastly exceeds the minimum and recommended capabilities of the GPUs required to run Suicide Squad. This card does come with 16GB of VRAM, which is the required amount for this title, and has a clock speed at around 2655MHz.

When buying one of the latest GPUs to have hit the market in the last month, you may be concerned about breaking the bank or expect to see a jump up in the MSRP, when comparing the RTX 4070 Ti Super to the RTX 4070 Ti (which was released in 2022) but Nvidia have actually price matched the new variant to the original RTX 40 series, making the 4070 Ti Super $799, the same as its predecessor.  This GPU has more CUDA cores than the original 4070 Ti, more VRAM and a higher texture fill rate but without a higher cost.

Pros
  • Affordable
  • Up-to-date architecture
  • Enough VRAM for Suicide Squad
Cons
  • Comparatively high power consumption

With a much smaller price tag than the aforementioned RTX 4070 Ti Super, the RX 7600 XT only has an MRSP of $329, making it a good quality GPU with the same release date, but without putting too big of a hole in your wallet. If you want a more in-depth comparison of the two here’s our RTX 4070 Ti Super Vs RX 7600 XT. 

Released on the same day as our top pick overall, the RX 7600 XT comes equipped with the necessary 16GB of VRAM to run Suicide Squad and a comparatively lower power consumption (190W) making it not just a cheaper GPU but also assisting  in keeping the electricity bills down. 

Boasting 1440p and 1080p resolution, alongside abilities in rendering and a decent frame generations, though the 4600 XT lacks the Ray Tracing and DLSS capabilities of the new RTX 40 Super series, this GPU is perfect for the casual gamer or if you are attempting to build the perfect PC for the new Suicide Squad, for as close to a $1000 budget as possible.

The last in Nvidia’s Super series to be released, available as of yesterday, January 31, came with a surprisingly $200-lower MSRP than the RTX 4080. However, one of the picks for our best RTX 4080 Super GPUs for a reason, the ASUS ROG RTX 4080 Super earns its current price on Amazon (for around the $1,999 mark) by being a cut above other 4080 Super models, with additional features and better performance quality. Though it is a lot to spend on a GPU, if you’ve got the cash and want the best possible 4K gaming experience, you may struggle to find a better graphics card than this. 

Equipped with the 16GB of GDDR6X VRAM necessary to run Suicide Squad, an impressive clock speed of 2,025GB/s and over 10,000 CUDA cores, the RTX 4080 Super is geared for high graphics quality, for the best gaming experience especially if you are a content creator or if you frequently undertake large, creative projects like 3D rendering. Armed with three fans for up to 23% more airflow, to prevent overheating when gaming for extended periods of time, and the ability to get up to 4K Ultra, with a frame rate up to 2x faster than those of the RTX 3080 Ti, and up to 4x faster processing speed with DLSS 3. During The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt gameplay done by Dracarys Gaming on YouTube, the RTX 4080 Super maintained a frame rate of about 135 fps at 4K, only marginally behind the performance of the RTX 4090, with the 4080 Super’s lowest 1% score being a still impressive 107fps.
