How Baldur's Gate 3 runs on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 31 fps on High at 1080p in Baldur's Gate 3, which means it runs only on reduced settings. On Low the same card manages about 58 fps, and on Ultra about 18.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 58 fps on Low; 1440p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 42 fps on Low; 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 23 fps on Low.

Settings advice

Baldur's Gate 3 lists 8 GB of RAM (recommending 16 GB) and a processor of the Intel i7 8700K class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is an Arc A580 (launch price $179), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if Baldur's Gate 3 offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
