What limits performance in Superliminal

The graphics card: frame rates in Superliminal rise with GPU speed.

Graphics card (GPU)

Main limit

60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 40 FPS.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("2.4GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Superliminal, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

3 GB min · 4 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 3 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 4 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 Superliminal

  1. 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Superliminal offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
  2. 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
  3. 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 4 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
