The first two rows are the publisher's numbers. The rows below are our own estimates from the scoring model.
How to get the best frame rate in League of Legends
The publisher's minimum for League of Legends is Shader 2.0 capable video card with 3 GHz processor (SSE2), and the recommended hardware is Shader 3.0 capable video card. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GT 730 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 645 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1050 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Strategy and simulation games lean on the processor, especially late in a game when there is a lot to calculate. A faster graphics card will not fix a slow late game, but a faster CPU and more RAM will.

Memory and processor
Memory
Minimum 2 GB, recommended 4 GB. 16 GB is the comfortable amount for current games.
Processor
A processor like the Intel Pentium G4560 meets the recommended CPU level. For many fps in fast games, a quick CPU matters as much as the graphics card. Check your pairing.
