How to get the best frame rate in Plague Inc: Evolved
The publisher's minimum for Plague Inc: Evolved is Integrated Graphics (512MB) with 2.0 GHz Dual Core Processor, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Radeon HD 3600 (1GB). We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 645 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 750 Ti does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 780 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.
