How to get the best frame rate in The Lord of the Rings Online
The publisher's minimum for The Lord of the Rings Online is GeForce 7XXX / ATI Radeon HD 3000 series with Core 2 Duo / AMD Athlon II or better, and the recommended hardware is Nvidia Geforce 8XXX / AMD Radeon HD 6### series or newer with 1GB or more of dedicated video memory. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon R7 250 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GT 1030 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 1050 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.
