Keep Driving PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Keep Driving?

Difficulty profile: how hard is Keep Driving to run?

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

On our demand scale Keep Driving scores 4. That makes it harder to run than 0% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a light game for graphics hardware.

It comes from the minimum card on the Steam page (Intel HD Graphics), which we map onto a common performance scale and convert to 1080p High. Treat it as a relative guide.

What it means by card class

• With an enthusiast card such as the RTX 5090 the game is limited by its engine long before the card, with roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p in our model.
• RTX 5060, our example of an entry card, delivers about 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• RTX 5070, our example of a mid-range card, delivers about 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• An RTX 5080 (a high-end card) has more power than Keep Driving can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.

On the CPU side, Keep Driving scores 18, ahead of 0% of the 937 modelled games.

Keep Driving PC requirements: minimum and recommended

Everything Steam names for Keep Driving, then what it means for real hardware.

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

How the published specs translate to frame rates

Steam names Intel HD Graphics as the minimum graphics card. Expect around 147 FPS at 1080p Low, or about 81 FPS if you raise the preset to High.

Only a minimum requirement is published for Keep Driving. Our figures extrapolate from it, so allow a wider margin for error.

For the processor, Steam gives Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz. In our model a chip in that class can prepare about 90 FPS in this game, so it will not hold back most mid-range cards.

Steam sets memory at 8 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 3 GB available space of storage.

Best graphics card for Keep Driving by target

Pick a target and see the card it needs in Keep Driving.

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.

Raise the target to 1440p and the bar moves: the GTX 1060 6GB is the lowest card to hit 60 FPS on High, while the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to get there.

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

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. To test your own parts, open the can my PC run it checker, or see whether your processor limits you in the bottleneck checker.

Estimated Keep Driving FPS on 28 graphics cards

Estimated frame rates for 28 graphics cards from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Pick a resolution to redraw the bars.

The fastest card here, the RTX 5090, returns around 360+ FPS at 1440p and 360+ FPS at 4K. The RTX 5050 sits at roughly 360+ FPS at 1440p, which shows how wide the range is in Keep Driving.

Full results table

These estimates use High settings paired with a quick CPU. The last two columns use Quality upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Results over 360 FPS appear as 360+. Put two cards side by side in the GPU comparison tool.

Card by card verdicts for Keep Driving

How twelve well-known cards fare, explained simply.

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 in our model.

A useful comparison: RTX 5060 at roughly 360+ FPS and RTX 5070 at roughly 360+ FPS at 1440p, so the dearer card is about 0% faster here.

Resolution playbook for Keep Driving: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

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

1080p playbook

At 1080p, GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our model, 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.

1440p playbook

At 1440p, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our model, 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.

4K playbook

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

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

Upgrade path: what a faster card gains in Keep Driving

How much faster each next RTX 50 card is at 1440p using the High preset.

Our model finds the best value step at RTX 5050 to RTX 5060, about 0% faster at 1440p, and the weakest at RTX 5050 to RTX 5060, roughly 0%.

Do not overspend for Keep Driving. Past the mid-range the extra graphics power goes unused, and a better processor would help more.

Compare options directly in the upgrade value calculator or the GPU price to performance calculator.

Graphics memory for Keep Driving: how much is enough?

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

The model gives 2 GB at 1080p High, rising to 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K. It is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, not a measurement.

Texture settings have the biggest effect on VRAM. In our model Medium textures cut 1440p use from 2.6 GB to about 2.2 GB.

VRAM size by size

• A 6 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Check your own settings in the VRAM calculator and read how much VRAM you need for gaming.

Which processor do you need for Keep Driving?

What a range of popular CPUs can feed a graphics card here.

Minimum CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz. Recommended: Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz. The table converts processor strength into a ceiling on frames per second for Keep Driving.

Keep Driving is gentle on processors (below most of the games we model), so even a budget chip should keep a mid-range card busy.

Use the Core i5-12400F as a yardstick: it feeds roughly 248 FPS here, so any card faster than that will be waiting on the processor.

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

Which builds are balanced in Keep Driving?

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

Not every pairing is balanced. 7 of the seven below are held back by the processor at 1440p, starting with RTX 4060 plus Core i3-12100F (CPU ceiling near 189 FPS against about 360+ FPS of graphics power).

The best-balanced pairing is the RTX 5090 with Ryzen 7 9800X3D: its processor ceiling (about 360+ FPS) sits close to what the card can draw (roughly 360+ FPS) at 1440p, so neither part is wasted.

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.

How much RAM and storage does Keep Driving need?

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

The publisher lists 8 GB RAM of memory as the minimum and 8 GB RAM as recommended. In real use, with everything else running, 16 GB is enough for most people.

On disk, plan for about 3 GB free. At 100 Mbps with typical overhead that is roughly 5 min to download, or roughly 1 min at 500 Mbps.

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

Work out your total in the RAM calculator, which adds your usual background apps to what the game asks for. Estimate the wait with the download time calculator.

Recommended Keep Driving settings by graphics card

Where to begin for a handful of common cards. Cells list the highest-quality preset that keeps 60 FPS.

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

• Leave textures on High when your card has the memory. They cost little speed. Our estimate for this game is 2.6 GB at that resolution.
• Then trim the costliest options. If the menu has shadows, fog or draw distance options, those are the usual culprits.
• Start with upscaling. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits your target.
• 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.
• Change one thing at a time and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.

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

Laptop performance in Keep Driving

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.

What to watch for in Keep Driving

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

Steam names Keep Driving under Adventure, Casual, Indie, so these general tips apply. They are hedged guidance rather than facts about the game's engine.

• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Smaller studios sometimes ship settings menus with fewer options, so lowering resolution may be your main tuning tool.
• Large builds, towns or factories can push memory and processor use up over time, so leave some headroom beyond the stated minimum.
• Open and large RPG worlds stream in data constantly, so an SSD and enough VRAM help keep movement smooth.
• Casual games rarely stress a graphics card, so power and noise settings may matter more than raw speed.
• Exploration games stream assets as you move, so storage speed and spare VRAM help avoid hitches when you enter new areas.

About Keep Driving on PC

At the time we checked (2026-11-02) Steam showed 3,295 reviews with a Very Positive rating and 93% positive. That is a useful signal for how widely played Keep Driving is.

It was out for about 21 months when we wrote this guide, so expect patches and driver updates to move the numbers a little over time.

Steam features

The facts above are from the public Steam store page. Frame rates here are modelled, since we have not tested the game on every card.

Method: where the Keep Driving numbers come from

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

For Keep Driving the demand score of 4 comes from the minimum graphics card, the CPU score of 18 from the listed processor line, and the VRAM figure of 2 GB at 1080p High is 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.

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.
