What limits performance in Goat Simulator

The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.

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 ("2.0 GHz Quad Core Processor") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Goat Simulator, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

256 MB min · 512 MB rec

The minimum spec lists 256 MB of video memory and the recommended spec 512 MB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
