How to get the best frame rate in Wolfenstein: The New Order
The publisher's minimum for Wolfenstein: The New Order is GeForce 460, ATI Radeon HD 6850 with Intel Core i7 or equivalent AMD, and the recommended hardware is not stated. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 645 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 750 Ti does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce GTX 780 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.
