How to get the best frame rate in Mortal Kombat 1
The publisher's minimum for Mortal Kombat 1 is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 590 or Intel Arc A750 with Intel Core i5-6600 | AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Ryzen 5 2600, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia GeForce GTX 2080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A770. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 6600 XT is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 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.
