How to get the best frame rate in Days Gone
The publisher's minimum for Days Gone is Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290 (4 GB) with Intel Core i5-2500K@3.3GHz or AMD FX 6300@3.5GHz, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 580 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1660 Super does the same at 1440p, and a Radeon RX 6600 XT 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.
