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 Stray
The publisher's minimum for Stray is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti, 2 GB | AMD Radeon R7 360, 2 GB with Intel Core i5-2300 | AMD FX-6350, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, 3 GB | AMD Radeon R9 290X, 4 GB. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 780 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 970 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 3050 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
Open world and story games are limited by the graphics card in busy areas and by video memory in new locations. If you see stutter when you enter a new area, lower the texture setting a step. Turn on upscaling if the game offers it.
