Can I run Helldivers 2 with a GeForce RTX 3070?

Nothing about the GeForce RTX 3070 is in question here: it clears every tier Helldivers 2 defines. The 100 GB the game wants on disk is the part of this pairing worth checking.

The GeForce RTX 3070 shipped in 2020, 4 years before Helldivers 2, and 37 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Helldivers 2. It sits 23 of 47 on our index.

That readout is the best this card can do in Helldivers 2: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Helldivers 2 the processor beside a GeForce RTX 3070 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
