How to get the best frame rate in Cairn
The publisher's minimum for Cairn is GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4096 MB), Radeon RX 570 (8192 MB) with Intel Core i7-6700 (4 * 3400), AMD Ryzen 5 1500X (4 * 3500) or equivalent, and the recommended hardware is Geforce RTX 2060 Super (6144 MB), Radeon RX 5700 (8192 MB). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce RTX 2060 Super is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 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.
