How to get the best frame rate in Castle Crashers
The publisher's minimum for Castle Crashers is 2GB RAM with Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz+ or better, and the recommended hardware is not stated. Because the publisher lists no recommended tier, we assume hardware about 50 percent faster than the minimum for our estimates.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1650 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1070 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
In competitive games frame rate and low latency matter more than looks. Use Low or Medium shadows and effects, keep textures as high as your video memory allows, and aim to stay above your monitor's refresh rate.
