How to get the best frame rate in Bayonetta
The publisher's minimum for Bayonetta is Radeon HD6950 / GeForce GTX 570 (VRAM 768MB) with Core i3 3220, and the recommended hardware is Radeon HD7870 / Geforce GTX 760 or more (VRAM 2GB or more). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon R9 270 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 980 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Open world and story games are limited by the graphics card in busy areas and by video memory in new locations. If you see stutter when you enter a new area, lower the texture setting a step. Turn on upscaling if the game offers it.
