BALL x PIT PC requirements, FPS and best settings

BALL x PIT on PC: the quick answer

Where BALL x PIT ranks for hardware demand

Where this game sits among 937 modelled titles, and what that means for different classes of GPU.

On our demand scale BALL x PIT scores 15. That makes it harder to run than 53% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a mid-weight game for graphics hardware.

We take the recommended GPU Steam lists (GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 5500 XT) and translate it into a 1080p High demand figure. The result ranks games well, but individual frame rates will vary.

What it means by card class

• Take an entry card, the RTX 5060: around 252 FPS at 1080p, 163 FPS at 1440p and 93 FPS at 4K on High. Native 4K works here at about 93 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• The RTX 5080, standing in for a high-end card, gives roughly 312 FPS at 1080p and 312 FPS at 1440p, with 219 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 219 FPS before any upscaling.
• The RTX 5090, standing in for an enthusiast card, gives roughly 312 FPS at 1080p and 312 FPS at 1440p, with 312 FPS at 4K. Native 4K works here at around 312 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• For a mid-range card we use the RTX 5070. It returns around 312 / 279 / 160 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Native 4K works here at about 160 FPS, with no upscaling needed.

Processor demand is rated separately: BALL x PIT scores 26 on our CPU scale, higher than 32% of the games we model.

BALL x PIT PC requirements: minimum and recommended

Official minimum and recommended specs for BALL x PIT, translated into frame rates.

Taken from the Steam store page; developers can revise these with updates.

Reading the specs against real hardware

The listed minimum is GeForce GTX 750 / Radeon R7 260X. Our model puts it near 39 FPS at 1080p on Low and 22 FPS on High, so treat it as an entry ticket rather than a target.

At the recommended level The Steam page lists GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 5500 XT. We estimate 79 FPS at 1080p and 51 FPS at 1440p on High. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

For the processor, Steam lists Intel Core i5-8600K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X. In our model a chip in that class can prepare around 103 FPS in this game, so it will not hold back most mid-range cards.

You will need 8 GB RAM of RAM at minimum or 8 GB RAM to match the recommended spec, plus 600 MB available space on your drive.

Which graphics card do you need for BALL x PIT?

Which card hits which target in BALL x PIT, from a 30 FPS floor to 4K.

Start at the GTX 1060 6GB if you want 60 FPS at 1080p on High. Among current RTX 50 cards, the RTX 5050 is the first to manage it.

Moving up to 1440p, the GTX 1660 Super is the lowest card that holds 60 FPS on High, and the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 option.

For 4K, upscaling does most of the work: with Quality upscaling the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to achieve 60 FPS on High.

Cards across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are included. For a personal answer with your own CPU and RAM, use the can my PC run it checker, or see whether your processor limits you in the bottleneck checker.

Graphics card verdicts: how each one handles BALL x PIT

Twelve popular cards, with a plain-English verdict for each.

Verdicts below use High settings throughout. For older cards a weak result mostly means lowering the preset, since Low and Medium settings recover a lot of speed by our model.

In this game the RTX 5070 returns around 279 FPS at 1440p while the RTX 5060 returns 163 FPS, a gap of 71% that is worth weighing against price.

BALL x PIT settings by resolution

One plan per resolution, each aimed at a steady 60 FPS in this game.

1080p playbook

1080p is straightforward on GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need upscaling for extra smoothness.

Use the table as a starting point: it shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS for each card at 1080p.

1440p playbook

For 1440p play, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 clear 60 FPS on High without any upscaling by our estimates, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and upscaling mode that keep 1440p above 60 FPS.

4K playbook

Native 4K works on RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080, all above 60 FPS on High by our model. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

Each row below is the best-looking combination that still holds 60 FPS at 4K by our model.

Stepping up the RTX 50 range in BALL x PIT

What each step up the RTX 50 range adds at 1440p using the High preset.

The biggest single step in BALL x PIT is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070, worth about 43% at 1440p by our model. The smallest is RTX 5070 Ti to RTX 5080 at roughly 0%.

Check the percentage against what each step costs you. In a game like BALL x PIT the cheapest frames usually come from the lower and middle steps.

BALL x PIT VRAM requirements

Estimated graphics memory use using the High preset. Too little VRAM hurts smoothness whatever the GPU speed.

Expect roughly 3 GB of VRAM at 1080p, 3.9 GB at 1440p and 5.4 GB at 4K on High. Remember that this is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU.

Dropping texture quality is the quickest way to save memory: stepping from High to Medium trims the estimate to around 3.3 GB at 1440p.

Budget tiers: 6, 8, 12 and 16 GB cards

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and tight at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• On an 8 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• With 12 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• A 16 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

BALL x PIT best graphics settings

Starter settings for six well-known cards. Every cell shows the best preset that still holds 60 FPS.

These are our model's best 60 FPS setups for BALL x PIT, ranked by image quality.

• Set a frame cap to match your display and keep the PC cooler, and the VRR and frame cap calculator suggests a sensible number.
• Use upscaling first. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Pick the highest quality mode that delivers your target.
• Do not cut textures first if memory allows. They barely touch frame rate. Our estimate for this game is 3.9 GB at that resolution.
• Make one change per test and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.
• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.

These tables assume the game includes an upscaler, so look in its graphics menu. Want a tailored answer? Open the best settings generator, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

How we estimated BALL x PIT performance

A short, honest note on how the numbers are produced.

For BALL x PIT the demand score of 15 comes from the recommended GPU, the CPU score of 26 from the listed processor line, and the VRAM figure of 3 GB at 1080p High is estimated from the demand score.

Frame rates scale each GPU against that demand, then adjust for resolution, preset, upscaling and a memory penalty when a card runs short of VRAM. CPU limits cap the result using a fast reference processor in the GPU tables.

Please read the figures as estimates rather than measurements. Drivers, game updates, temperatures and the part of the game you are playing can all move them.
