Check My PC →What limits performance in Scrap Mechanic
The graphics card: frame rates in Scrap Mechanic rise with GPU speed.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 3060 or RX 7600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 26 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Scrap Mechanic recommends a Ryzen 5 5600 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 5600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Scrap Mechanic, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
12 GB (rec. spec)
The recommended spec lists 12 GB of video memory, more than the 8 GB on an RTX 4060 or RX 7600. On 8 GB cards, 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 Scrap Mechanic
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Scrap Mechanic 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 12 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
