How to get the best frame rate in The Outer Worlds 2
The publisher's minimum for The Outer Worlds 2 is AMD RX 5700 / Nvidia GTX 1070 / Intel Arc A580 with AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel i5-8400, and the recommended hardware is AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Nvidia RTX 3080. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a Radeon RX 6800 XT is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti does the same at 1440p. 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.
