Estimated FPS at 1080p

GAMERSPECS ESTIMATE

On a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, Team Fortress 2 reaches the game's 300 FPS cap at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT runs easily, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX reaches the game's 300 FPS cap. It's also free to play, so testing it on your hardware costs nothing.

The publisher states no target settings for Team Fortress 2, so figures assume High, the usual target of a recommended spec.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit

Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics runs smoothly at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better)") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Team Fortress 2, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

Not stated

The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.
