Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder?

Where Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder ranks for hardware demand

How this game ranks among 937 modelled titles, with a look at what that means for each class of card.

On our demand scale Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder scores 27. That makes it harder to run than 73% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a demanding game for graphics hardware.

The score is derived from the recommended GPU in the publisher requirements, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060，5600XT or better, scaled to a 1080p High equivalent. It is a modelling choice rather than a measurement, so read it as a ranking more than a promise.

What it means by card class

• Take an entry card, the RTX 5060: around 140 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p and 52 FPS at 4K on High. Native 4K sits at 52 FPS, and Quality upscaling lifts it to about 78 FPS.
• The RTX 5090, standing in for an enthusiast card, gives roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 335 FPS at 1440p, with 193 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 193 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.
• Take a mid-range card, the RTX 5070: around 240 FPS at 1080p, 155 FPS at 1440p and 89 FPS at 4K on High. Holds roughly 89 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• As a high-end card, the RTX 5080 manages 328 FPS at 1080p, 212 FPS at 1440p and 121 FPS at 4K. Native 4K works here at around 121 FPS, with no upscaling needed.

Its CPU score is 22, so it asks more of a processor than 28% of the games in our list.

What the requirements mean in practice

At the bottom end, Steam lists Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3gb. That card manages roughly 80 FPS at 1080p on Low by our estimates, falling to about 44 FPS on High.

At the recommended level Steam lists Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060，5600XT or better. We estimate 80 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p on High. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

Steam asks for Intel Core i5-7500 at the recommended level. That class of processor tops out near 103 FPS in Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder by our model.

You will need 8 GB RAM of RAM at minimum or 8 GB RAM to match the recommended spec, plus 1 GB available space on your drive.

Which graphics card do you need for Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder?

Which card hits which target in Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder, from a 30 FPS floor to 4K.

The lowest card we tested that holds 60 FPS at 1080p on High is the GTX 1660 Super, and the first desktop RTX 50 card to do it is the RTX 5050.

Moving up to 1440p, the RTX 3060 12GB is the lowest card that holds 60 FPS on High, and the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 option.

4K is the hard case. With Quality upscaling enabled, the RTX 5060 is where the RTX 50 range first hits 60 FPS on High.

Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder processor guide

Which processors keep a fast GPU busy in this game.

Steam lists Intel Core i5-7500 as the minimum processor and Intel Core i5-7500 as the recommended one. The table shows the most frames each chip can prepare by our model, regardless of graphics settings.

With a low CPU score, Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder should run well on older or cheaper processors, leaving the GPU to set the pace.

Use the Core i5-12400F as a yardstick: it feeds roughly 202 FPS here, so any card faster than that will be waiting on the processor.

Check your own CPU and GPU together in the bottleneck checker and read system bottlenecks guide.

CPU and GPU pairings for Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

Does the CPU or the GPU set the pace? Seven example builds.

In Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder none of the seven builds is held back by its processor at 1440p, which means the GPU decides the frame rate across the board.

Our model finds RTX 5090 plus Ryzen 7 9800X3D the most evenly matched build here: roughly 360+ FPS from the processor against around 335 FPS from the card at 1440p.

Treat the builds as worked examples. Your own CPU and GPU can be tested together in the bottleneck checker.

How much RAM and storage does Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder need?

RAM and disk space from the Steam page, with a practical view.

For RAM, expect 8 GB RAM at minimum and 8 GB RAM recommended. Allow for the operating system and background apps, which means 16 GB is a sensible floor.

Best settings for Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

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

Each cell shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS in Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• Start with DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling. You lose little sharpness and gain a lot of speed. Take the gentlest mode that hits the frame rate you want.
• Then trim the costliest options. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.
• Limit the frame rate at your monitor refresh rate to save power and noise, then use the VRR and frame cap calculator to pick the figure.
• Keep textures high if you have the VRAM. They barely touch frame rate. Our estimate for this game is 5.2 GB at 1440p.

Settings assume the game offers an upscaler; check the graphics menu. Get a personal recommendation in the best settings generator, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Steam features

Facts come from the public Steam store page. We have not benchmarked every card, so treat the frame rates on this page as modelled estimates.

Method: where the Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder numbers come from

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

Here is what feeds the estimates: demand 27 from the recommended card, CPU score 22 (from the listed processor line), and a 1080p High VRAM figure of 4 GB (estimated from the demand score).

The model divides a card's performance score by the game demand, scaled for resolution, preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling, with a penalty when memory runs short and a ceiling set by a fast reference processor.

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.
