Meeting minimum specifications means the game is within the developer's supported floor; it does not guarantee a chosen resolution and frame rate in every base, multiplayer load, or late-game area. Dense bases, server load, background applications, drivers, and thermal limits can affect the result.
Do not confuse client requirements with dedicated-server requirements. A server does not use the same GPU target, but Pocketpair separately recommends four CPU cores, at least 16 GB memory, and fast storage.
