How to get the best frame rate in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
The publisher's minimum for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is Direct X9 compatible video card 512Mb RAM with 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent, and the recommended hardware is Direct X11 compatible video card with 1024Mb RAM. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon R7 250 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GT 1030 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1050 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.
