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 69 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Dual-core CPU with SSE3 (Intel® Pentium® D 3GHz / AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4200) or bet") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Sniper Elite 3, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
256 MB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 256 MB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
