Dungeon Clawler PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Dungeon Clawler?

Difficulty profile: how hard is Dungeon Clawler to run?

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

We rate the graphics demand of Dungeon Clawler at 4. That puts it above 0% of the 937 modelled games and firmly in the undemanding band.

The score is derived from the minimum GPU in the publisher requirements, GeForce GTX 660, 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

• On an entry card, the RTX 5060, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 253 FPS at 1080p, 253 FPS at 1440p.
• On a high-end card, the RTX 5080, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 253 FPS at 1080p, 253 FPS at 1440p.
• An RTX 5070 (a mid-range card) has more power than Dungeon Clawler can use, landing near 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p.
• With an enthusiast card such as the RTX 5090 the game is limited by its engine long before the card, with close to 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p in our modelling.

Processor demand is rated separately: Dungeon Clawler scores 32 on our CPU scale, higher than 47% of the games we model.

System requirements for Dungeon Clawler

Official minimum and recommended specs for Dungeon Clawler, translated into frame rates.

These are the developer figures on Steam, and patches can change them.

How the published specs translate to frame rates

The minimum card, GeForce GTX 660, is the floor Steam sets. In our model it manages about 147 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, and 81 FPS if you push it to High.

The publisher gives a minimum specification and nothing higher, so we model Dungeon Clawler from the minimum card. That makes the estimates more approximate than usual.

RAM starts at 4 GB RAM and goes to 4 GB RAM for the recommended tier, while the install needs 2 GB available space.

Best graphics card for Dungeon Clawler by target

The lowest graphics card we tested that reaches each target in Dungeon Clawler, plus the first desktop RTX 50 card that does.

The lowest card we tested that holds 60 FPS at 1080p on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, and the first desktop RTX 50 card to do it is the RTX 5050.

For a smooth 1440p on High you want at least the GTX 1060 6GB. Within the RTX 50 range that means the RTX 5050 or above.

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

Cards across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are included. Add your own processor, memory and settings in the can my PC run it checker, or see whether your processor limits you in the bottleneck checker.

Dungeon Clawler FPS by graphics card

Modelled FPS for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Use the buttons to change resolution.

Compare the extremes: an RTX 5090 gets about 253 FPS at 1440p and 253 FPS at 4K, and an RTX 5050 close to 253 FPS at 1440p. That is the span of results you can expect in Dungeon Clawler.

Full results table

Every figure assumes High settings and a fast processor. The last two columns use Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Figures above 360 FPS are shown as 360+. Compare two cards directly in the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for Dungeon Clawler?

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

Each verdict compares the card with a 60 FPS target using the High preset. Where a card falls short, the usual fix is a lower preset or upscaling, which the settings section prices in.

A useful comparison: RTX 5060 at roughly 253 FPS and RTX 5070 at roughly 253 FPS at 1440p, so the dearer card is about 0% faster here.

Resolution playbook for Dungeon Clawler: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

Settings that hold 60 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, worked out for 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.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode that keep 1080p above 60 FPS.

1440p playbook

1440p is straightforward on RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling for extra smoothness.

Each row below is the best-looking combination that still holds 60 FPS at 1440p in our modelling.

4K playbook

At 4K, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our modelling, so you can leave upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

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

Upgrade path: what a faster card gains in Dungeon Clawler

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

Moving from the RTX 5050 to the RTX 5060 adds about 0% at 1440p, the largest jump in the RTX 50 range for Dungeon Clawler. The RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 step adds only close to 0%.

Faster cards help less here than in heavier games. Dungeon Clawler runs out of graphics work early, so the CPU becomes the limit.

How much VRAM does Dungeon Clawler need?

What the game is likely to want from graphics memory on High. Falling short of VRAM causes stutter even with a quick GPU.

Estimated graphics memory use is 2 GB at 1080p, 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K using the High preset. The figure is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card.

If memory is tight, lower textures first: Medium brings the 1440p figure down to roughly 2.2 GB.

What each memory size means for Dungeon Clawler

• On a 6 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• With 8 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• 12 GB of VRAM reads as comfortable for 1080p, comfortable for 1440p and comfortable for 4K using the High preset here. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• With 16 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

Which processor do you need for Dungeon Clawler?

Which processors keep a fast GPU busy in this game.

Steam names Quad Core Processor as the minimum processor and Quad Core Processor as the recommended one. The table shows the most frames each chip can prepare in our modelling, regardless of graphics settings.

Dungeon Clawler is a mid-weight game for processors, ahead of 47% of those we model, so a recent mid-range chip is a sound match.

The Core i5-12400F caps at roughly 139 FPS in Dungeon Clawler in our modelling. Beyond that frame rate the CPU, not the card, sets the pace.

Test your own pairing in the bottleneck checker and the system bottlenecks guide.

CPU and GPU pairings for Dungeon Clawler

Seven real CPU and GPU combinations, and which part limits each one.

Dungeon Clawler leaves the processor as the limit in 7 of the seven pairings below. Take the RTX 4060 and Core i3-12100F: the CPU tops out around 106 FPS, below the roughly 360+ FPS the card could deliver at 1440p.

If you want neither part to idle, RTX 5090 with Ryzen 7 9800X3D comes closest at 1440p, with a CPU ceiling near 291 FPS and a card good for about 360+ FPS.

None of these is a shopping list. They show how the balance shifts as you move up the range, and the bottleneck checker lets you try your own pair.

Dungeon Clawler memory and disk space

What Steam gives for memory and disk space, and what it means in practice.

4 GB RAM is the minimum and 4 GB RAM the recommended memory. Once Windows and your usual apps are counted, 16 GB covers it.

Free up about 2 GB before you install. On a 100 Mbps connection the download is close to 3 min, and on 500 Mbps about 1 min.

No SSD requirement is listed, but solid-state storage still helps with load times.

Dungeon Clawler best graphics settings

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

Each cell shows the highest preset that still reaches 60 FPS in Dungeon Clawler, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• Lower the heaviest settings next. If the menu has shadows, fog or draw distance options, those are the usual culprits.
• Start with DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits your target.
• Leave textures on High if you have the VRAM. They cost little speed. The model puts this game at 2.6 GB at that resolution.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.
• Limit the frame rate to your monitor to save power and heat, then use the VRR and frame cap calculator to pick the figure.

Settings assume the game offers an upscaler; check the graphics menu. Want a tailored answer? Open the best settings generator, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Dungeon Clawler on gaming laptops

Modelled laptop results at the power limits laptops usually ship with.

For a gaming laptop, our estimates show RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop hitting 60 FPS at 1080p on High at typical power. At 1440p that group narrows to RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop.

Power limit matters on a laptop: the same GPU name can perform very differently at 60 W and 120 W, and cooling decides how long it holds the higher figure.

What to watch for in Dungeon Clawler

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

These are general tips for undemanding games of this type, not claims about how Dungeon Clawler itself is built. Use them as a prompt for what to test.

• Long role-playing sessions reward stable settings, so pick a preset you can leave alone rather than tuning mid-game.
• In action games, consistent frame times usually matter more than the average, so avoid settings that cause stutter.
• Strategy titles tend to get heavier the longer a session runs, so judge performance after a few hours rather than at the start.
• Full controller support is listed, so playing from the sofa on a TV is an option, where 60 FPS is usually the sensible target.
• Casual games rarely stress a GPU, so power and noise settings may matter more than raw speed.
• Simulation titles often build up complexity over hours of play, so test with a mature save rather than a fresh start.

Steam features

The facts above are 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 we estimated Dungeon Clawler performance

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

Here is what feeds the estimates: demand 4 from the minimum card, CPU score 32 (from an assumed processor line), and a 1080p High VRAM figure of 2 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.

All FPS, VRAM and CPU figures are modelled. They are meant for comparing hardware and settings, and your own testing should have the last word.
