Aion 2 performance, FPS and ping
Aion 2 targets a GTX 1050 Ti and 8 GB RAM at minimum and an RTX 2070 with 16 GB as recommended, with an SSD advised. Ping depends on which regional server you land on — NCSOFT has announced servers in North America, South America, Europe and Japan, so latency for most players will be regional rather than transcontinental.

What drives ping
- Your distance to the regional server. NCSOFT has announced NA, SA, EU and Japan.
- A VPN almost always makes ping worse, because it adds a hop — it is not a latency fix.
- Pick the region closest to you at character creation — Europe, North America East or West, Latin America or Asia. The regional server, not the game, sets your floor ping, and a server transfer only moves you within a region.
Why we are not publishing benchmarks
Any FPS figure you see is one machine on one patch. We will publish measured numbers when we can run a fixed configuration across patches; until then NCSOFT's two specification tiers are the reliable guide.
Frequently asked
- What FPS will Aion 2 run at?
- We have not published benchmarks for the global build. NCSOFT's recommended specification is an RTX 2070 with 16 GB of RAM, which indicates the target for comfortable play at standard settings.
- Why is my ping high in Aion 2?
- Ping is set by which regional server you chose at creation. Servers run in Europe, North America East and West, Latin America and Asia, so most players should be on a server in their own region; if you are not, a server transfer only moves you within a region, so the fix is a new character in the right one.
- Does a VPN reduce ping in Aion 2?
- Generally no. A VPN adds a network hop and usually increases latency. It can also place you in a region the service refuses, causing login failures.
