Denshattack! PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Denshattack! on PC: the quick answer

How demanding is Denshattack!?

Where it lands among 937 modelled titles, and how that plays out for entry, mid-range and high-end cards.

With a demand score of 15, Denshattack! asks more of a graphics card than 53% of the 937 games in our list. We call that moderately demanding.

The score is derived from the recommended graphics card in the publisher requirements, GTX 1060 (6144 MB) or RX 580 (8192 MB), 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 enthusiast card, the RTX 5090: close to 360+ FPS at 1080p, 360+ FPS at 1440p and 347 FPS at 4K on High. Holds roughly 347 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• Take an entry card, the RTX 5060: close to 252 FPS at 1080p, 163 FPS at 1440p and 93 FPS at 4K on High. Native 4K works here at roughly 93 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• The RTX 5070, standing in for a mid-range card, gives roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 279 FPS at 1440p, with 160 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 160 FPS before any upscaling.
• The RTX 5080, standing in for a high-end card, gives roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p, with 219 FPS at 4K. Reaches 219 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.

Processor demand is rated separately: Denshattack! scores 21 on our CPU scale, higher than 21% of the games we model.

System requirements for Denshattack!

Everything Steam lists for Denshattack!, then what it means for real hardware.

Published by the developer on Steam and subject to change with patches.

What the requirements mean in practice

The listed minimum is GTX 1050 Ti (4096 MB) or RX 570 (4096 MB). Our model puts it near 79 FPS at 1080p on Low and 43 FPS on High, so treat it as an entry ticket rather than a target.

At the recommended level Steam lists GTX 1060 (6144 MB) or RX 580 (8192 MB). 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.

On the CPU side the recommended entry is Intel Core i5-9600K (6 * 3700), which our model rates at roughly 100 FPS of frame preparation for Denshattack!.

You will need 12 GB RAM of RAM at minimum or 16 GB RAM to match the recommended spec, plus 8 GB available space on your drive.

Best graphics card for Denshattack! by target

Which card hits which target in Denshattack!, from a 30 FPS floor to 4K.

Our estimates put 1080p 60 FPS on High within reach of the GTX 1060 6GB and above, with the RTX 5050 as the cheapest RTX 50 route there.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the GTX 1660 Super, with the RTX 5050 leading the RTX 50 line.

4K is the hard case. With Quality upscaling enabled, the RTX 5050 is where the RTX 50 range first delivers 60 FPS on High.

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. For a personal answer with your own CPU and RAM, use the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

Is your graphics card good enough for Denshattack!?

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

The table reads the model results as plain advice. Older cards such as the GTX 1060 and RTX 2060 are measured against the same High settings, so a poor result there usually means "drop to Medium", not "cannot run".

Between the RTX 5060 (163 FPS at 1440p) and the RTX 5070 (279 FPS) there is roughly a 71% difference in Denshattack!.

Resolution playbook for Denshattack!: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

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

1080p playbook

Native 1080p works on GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

Start from the preset that still delivers 60 FPS, then raise one setting at a time. The table gives the best preset for each card.

1440p playbook

Native 1440p works on RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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 in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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

Is a graphics card upgrade worth it for Denshattack!?

The gain from each rung of the RTX 50 ladder at 1440p with High settings.

The biggest single step in Denshattack! is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070, worth roughly 43% at 1440p in our modelling. The smallest is RTX 5080 to RTX 5090 at roughly 1%.

With a game this light, spending more on the graphics card shows diminishing returns quickly: the processor and engine set the ceiling.

How much VRAM does Denshattack! need?

Estimated graphics memory use with High settings. Too little VRAM hurts smoothness whatever the GPU speed.

We put Denshattack! at close to 3 GB at 1080p High, 3.9 GB at 1440p and 5.4 GB at 4K. That is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, so treat it as a guide and leave some memory spare.

A single step down in textures, to Medium, reduces the 1440p estimate to close to 3.3 GB, which is often enough to avoid stutter.

What each memory size means for Denshattack!

• With 6 GB the verdict 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.
• An 8 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K 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.
• On a 16 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

CPU and GPU pairings for Denshattack!

How seven common processor and graphics card pairs behave in this game.

Not every pairing is balanced. 1 of the seven below are held back by the processor at 1440p, starting with RTX 5090 plus Ryzen 7 9800X3D (CPU ceiling near 360+ FPS against close to 360+ FPS of graphics power).

For balance, look at RTX 5080 with Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The CPU can prepare around 360+ FPS and the card can draw close to 360+ FPS at 1440p, which is a close match.

These pairings are examples, not recommendations to buy. Swap in your own parts with the bottleneck checker to see which side limits you.

Denshattack! memory and disk space

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

The publisher lists 12 GB RAM of memory as the minimum and 16 GB RAM as recommended. In real use, with everything else running, 16 GB is enough for most people.

Storage is listed at close to 8 GB. Expect around 13 min to download on a 100 Mbps line, or roughly 3 min on 500 Mbps.

On drives: Steam does not insist on an SSD, though one will shorten loads.

Best settings for Denshattack!

Starter settings for six well-known cards. Cells list the highest-quality preset that keeps 60 FPS.

Read each cell as a recommended starting point for Denshattack!: the preset first, then the upscaling mode and the estimated result.

• Change one thing at a time and compare the result, so you can tell what helped.
• Limit the frame rate at your monitor refresh rate to save power and noise, and the VRR and frame cap calculator suggests a sensible number.
• Leave textures on High if memory allows. The speed cost is small. Our estimate for this game is 3.9 GB at 1440p.
• Start with upscaling. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Take the gentlest mode that manages the frame rate you want.
• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadow quality, volumetrics and view distance tend to cost the most when they exist.

Settings assume the game offers an upscaler; check the graphics menu. For advice matched to your own PC, use the best settings generator, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Laptop performance in Denshattack!

What RTX 50 laptop GPUs manage at common wattages.

Among RTX 50 laptop GPUs, RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop clear 60 FPS at 1080p on High at typical wattage, with RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop also holding 60 FPS at 1440p.

Laptop GPUs lose performance at lower power limits (TGP), and thin designs often cannot sustain them. Check the exact wattage of the model you are buying.

Genre tips: playing Denshattack! well on PC

General guidance for this kind of game, chosen from the Steam genres and features.

Treat these as rules of thumb for games of this type. They come from the genres on the Steam page, not from testing Denshattack! directly.

• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Exploration-heavy adventures tend to hitch when new areas load, which an SSD and spare VRAM can soften.
• Action games feel best when frame times are even, so lowering one costly setting is usually better than chasing a high peak.

Denshattack!: facts and Steam features

On Steam the game sits at Overwhelmingly Positive: 98% positive across 2,216 reviews at the time of checking (2026-11-02). Larger communities tend to share more settings guides and fixes.

It was out for close to 4 months when we wrote this guide, so expect patches and driver updates to move the numbers a little over time.

Steam features

Facts come from the public Steam store page. We have not tested the game on every card, so frame rates on this page are modelled estimates.

How the Denshattack! estimates work

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

Here is what feeds the estimates: demand 15 from the recommended card, CPU score 21 (from the listed processor line), and a 1080p High VRAM figure of 3 GB (estimated from the demand score).

Frame rates scale each graphics card 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.

These are modelled estimates, not benchmarks. Real results change with drivers, patches, cooling, the scene you play and your processor. Use the numbers to compare cards and settings, then check them in the game.
