Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 48 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Core i5-6xxx Quad Core or better") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Neverwinter, 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 Neverwinter
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Neverwinter offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality last: it costs little frame rate as long as your card has enough video memory.
