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 78 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("5th Generation Intel i5 CPU or equivalent") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Surviving Mars, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
1 GB min · 4 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 1 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 Surviving Mars
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2Texture 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.
