What limits performance in MapleStory

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 101 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel® Core™ i3 @ 4.0GHz or AMD Ryzen™ 3 @ 3.5GHz or higher") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for MapleStory, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

Not stated

The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.

Settings to lower first in MapleStory

  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 46 FPS at 1080p.
