Estimated average fps by resolution and preset.
Our estimate puts the GeForce RTX 4090 at about 300+ fps on High at 1080p in The Outlast Trials, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 291.
The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.
For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Ultra (about 291 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 210 fps); 4K: Ultra (about 116 fps).
The Outlast Trials lists 8 GB of RAM (recommending 16 GB) and a processor of the Intel Core i7-6700K class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce RTX 4090, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.
For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce RTX 5090, is estimated at 300+ fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce RTX 4090.
Our estimate is about 300+ fps on High at 1080p, and about 300+ fps on Low. Verdict: Yes, runs great.
At 1080p, Ultra holds about 291 fps. At 1440p, Ultra holds 60 fps. Even 4K is possible on Ultra.
The Outlast Trials lists 8 GB as its minimum and recommends 16 GB. The graphics card does not change that: with less memory than the minimum the game can stutter or fail to start whatever card you have.
