What limits performance in The Riftbreaker

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

Graphics card (GPU)

Main limit

60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 4060 or RX 6700 XT; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 23 FPS.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Intel i7 gen 2 or AMD Ryzen") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for The Riftbreaker, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

2 GB min · 8 GB rec

The minimum spec lists 2 GB of video memory and the recommended spec 8 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 Riftbreaker

  1. 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where The Riftbreaker 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 8 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
