What limits performance in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

Not the graphics card, on most PCs. At frame rates this high, your processor, the game engine or your monitor's refresh rate is more likely to set the ceiling.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics averages about 73 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel i3 4th-Generation 3.5GHz, AMD Quad-Core 3.9GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

1 GB min · 2 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 1 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 2 GB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
