What limits performance in Mad Max

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 117 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

Mad Max recommends an FX-8350 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Mad Max, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

2 GB min · 3 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 3 GB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
