GAMERSPECS ESTIMATEOn a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, Predecessor averages about 98 FPS at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 38 FPS, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX averages about 243 FPS. It's also free to play, so testing it on your hardware costs nothing.
The publisher states no target settings for Predecessor, so figures assume High, the usual target of a recommended spec.

The graphics card: frame rates in Predecessor rise with GPU speed.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 2060 or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 38 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Predecessor recommends a Core i5-11600 or equivalent; a Core i5-12400 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Predecessor, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
2 GB min · 6 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 6 GB. 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 Predecessor
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Predecessor 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 only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
