Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 2060 or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 36 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel HD Graphics 5000 or better, OpenGL Support required") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for The Planet Crafter, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
3 GB min · 6 GB rec
The minimum spec lists 3 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 Planet Crafter
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where The Planet Crafter 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.
