Overview

Immersive sim FPS with time-loop mechanics and RTX. Use the resolution tabs below to see estimated hardware for a steady 60 FPS. This title does not support ray tracing — use the RT off tab for accurate recommendations. GPU drives eye candy, but a strong CPU helps hold high frame rates in busy multiplayer.

Test preset: Ultra baseline — use Low–Ultra toggles below, competitive settings optional (shadows Medium–High)
Upscaling: DLSS, FSR 2

Hardware by target FPS

Pick a resolution, 60 or 120 FPS target, quality preset (Low–Ultra), upscaler (Native, DLSS, FSR, or XeSS), upscaling quality when applicable, and ray tracing — specs update to match. Minimum gets you close to your target; recommended holds it with headroom.

Ray tracing not supported

1080p · 60 FPS · High · Native · Ray tracing off

High preset, shadows Medium–High, ray tracing off, Native

GPU-focused estimates for Deathloop at 1080p, 60 FPS, ray tracing off. Based on moderate demand tier and typical fps workloads — verify against your in-game settings. Hardware adjusted for high preset.

Graphics card

Minimum: GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB / RX 560 4 GB
Recommended: GTX 1650 Super 4 GB / RX 5500 XT 4 GB

Processor

Minimum: Ryzen 5 3600 / Intel Core i5-10400
Recommended: Ryzen 5 5600 / Intel Core i5-12400

Memory

Minimum: 16 GB (dual-channel)
Recommended: 16 GB (dual-channel)

16 GB prevents stutter when multitasking or using mods.

Storage

Minimum: 50 GB SSD
Recommended: 50 GB NVMe SSD

SSD recommended for faster load times.

Optimization tips

· Drop shadow quality or volumetric effects first if FPS dips below 60.
· At 1080p, lower post-processing before touching texture quality.
· Cap background apps — inconsistent frame times feel worse than slightly lower settings.

Performance notes

· This game does not support ray tracing — specs below reflect the RT off configuration.
· Lower shadow and post-processing settings recover FPS quickly in multiplayer without hurting visibility.
· DLSS or FSR Quality helps at 1440p and 4K even when ray tracing is off.
· 16 GB dual-channel RAM is recommended for all modern PC games; 8 GB is only viable on lighter titles.
· An SSD reduces load times; NVMe is helpful but not required for most single-player games.

What affects performance

GPU (primary)

Resolution, texture quality, shadows, and ray tracing scale directly with GPU power. Upgrade here first for higher resolutions.

VRAM

Higher resolutions and texture packs need 8 GB minimum, 10–12 GB for 1440p/4K Ultra. Ray tracing adds VRAM pressure.

CPU (secondary)

Multiplayer and draw-call-heavy scenes can bottleneck older 4-core CPUs before the GPU is maxed.
