GAMERSPECS ESTIMATEOn a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, Squad averages about 67 FPS at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is below its minimum on video memory, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX averages about 166 FPS.
The publisher states no target settings for Squad, so figures assume High, the usual target of a recommended spec.

The graphics card: frame rates in Squad 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 is below its minimum on video memory.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
Squad recommends a Core i5-12400 or equivalent; a Core i5-12400 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Squad, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory. 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 Squad
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Squad 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.
