Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! on PC: the quick answer

How demanding is Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!?

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

With a demand score of 28, Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! asks more of a graphics card than 80% of the 937 games in our list. We call that demanding.

The score is derived from the recommended graphics card in the publisher requirements, GTX 1080 / RX 5700 XT, 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

• For a high-end card we use the RTX 5080. It returns roughly 270 / 204 / 117 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Holds roughly 117 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• As an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090 manages 270 FPS at 1080p, 270 FPS at 1440p and 186 FPS at 4K. Native 4K works here at roughly 186 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• For a mid-range card we use the RTX 5070. It returns roughly 231 / 149 / 86 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 86 FPS before any upscaling.
• Take an entry card, the RTX 5060: roughly 135 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p and 50 FPS at 4K on High. Treat 4K as an upscaling job: 50 FPS native, 75 FPS upscaled.

Its CPU score is 30, so it asks more of a processor than 43% of the games in our list.

Best settings for Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!

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 Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• Then trim the costliest options. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Change one thing at a time and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.
• Reach for upscaling first. You lose little sharpness and gain a lot of speed. Take the gentlest mode that manages the frame rate you want.
• Keep textures high if memory allows. They barely touch frame rate. This game is estimated at 5.2 GB for 1440p.
• Limit the frame rate to your monitor to save power and heat, and check the VRR and frame cap calculator for a sensible figure.

An upscaler is assumed throughout; confirm the game has one in its graphics options. For advice matched to your own PC, use the best settings generator and compare upscaling modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.
