Planet Zoo 2 is unusual in what changes between the two tiers and what doesn't. Memory and DirectX are identical across both, so the real difference comes down to the processor, the graphics card and the drive - and the storage row is the one to watch, since an SSD is merely recommended at minimum but outright required at the recommended tier.
