What limits performance in Grounded

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

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit on most PCs

Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 63 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

Grounded recommends a Ryzen 5 1600 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Grounded, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

6 GB (rec. spec)

The recommended 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 Grounded

  1. 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
  2. 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 29 FPS at 1080p.
  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.
