GAMERSPECS ESTIMATE

On a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, League of Legends reaches the game's 240 FPS cap at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT runs easily, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX reaches the game's 240 FPS cap. It's also free to play, so testing it on your hardware costs nothing.

Figures are at High: the target the publisher states for its recommended spec (1080p on High).

What limits performance in League of Legends

The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p. Faster cards stop at the game's 240 FPS cap unless a supported setting lifts it.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

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

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

League of Legends recommends a Core i5-8250U or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for League of Legends, 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.
