Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 117 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("AMD: Phenom II X4 955 - 4 Core, 3.2 GHz or Intel: Core 2 Quad Q9650 - 4 Core, 3.") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Alien: Isolation, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
1 GB min · 2 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 1 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 2 GB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
