How to get the best frame rate in Don't Starve Together
The publisher's minimum for Don't Starve Together is Radeon HD5450 or better; 256 MB or higher with 1.7+ GHz 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 GT 710 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GT 710 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GT 730 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.
