How to get the best frame rate in RuneScape
The publisher's minimum for RuneScape is a basic graphics card with a basic processor, and the recommended hardware is GeForce GTX 600 series, Intel UHD Graphics 610, AMD Radeon R7 260. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GT 710 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GT 730 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GT 1030 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.
