What limits performance in GROUND BRANCH

The graphics card: frame rates in GROUND BRANCH rise with GPU speed.

Graphics card (GPU)

Main limit

60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT; a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600 averages about 36 FPS.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

GROUND BRANCH recommends a Ryzen 5 5600X or equivalent; a Core i5-13400 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for GROUND BRANCH, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

6 GB (min. spec)

The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.

Settings to lower first in GROUND BRANCH

  1. 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where GROUND BRANCH offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
  2. 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
  3. 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
