What limits performance in The Outlast Trials

The graphics card: frame rates in The Outlast Trials 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 43 FPS.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

The Outlast Trials recommends a Core i7-6700K or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for The Outlast Trials, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

2 GB min · 6 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 6 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 The Outlast Trials

  1. 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where The Outlast Trials 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 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
