What to know
An internet connection is required: according to the official FAQ, you cannot play without a network connection, including in PvE mode. An SSD is not listed separately in the official requirements, nor is the amount of video memory — only graphics card models are named.
The game is demanding on memory: the minimum is 16 GB, the recommended is 64 GB. If the game stutters on large maps like Streets of Tarkov, memory is the first thing to check.
