Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics runs smoothly at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("3.0 Ghz Quad Core CPU or faster") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Bacteria, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

512 MB min · 512 MB rec

The minimum spec lists 512 MB of video memory and the recommended spec 512 MB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
