Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 2060 or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 38 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We Were Here recommends a Core i5-4460 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for We Were Here, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory. 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 We Were Here
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where We Were Here 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.
