Lucid Blocks PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Lucid Blocks?

How demanding is Lucid Blocks?

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

We rate the graphics demand of Lucid Blocks 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, Intel UHD Graphics 620, 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

• RTX 5070, our example of a mid-range card, delivers around 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 Lucid Blocks can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• On an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p, 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• An RTX 5060 (an entry card) has more power than Lucid Blocks can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.

For the processor we score Lucid Blocks at 21, which is above 21% of our data set.

System requirements for Lucid Blocks

Everything Steam lists for Lucid Blocks, then what it means for real hardware.

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

What the requirements mean in practice

The listed minimum is Intel UHD Graphics 620. Our model puts it near 147 FPS at 1080p on Low and 81 FPS on High, so treat it as an entry ticket rather than a target.

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

The recommended processor, Intel® Core™ i3-8130U, can feed about 100 FPS here on our figures, a useful ceiling to compare with your graphics card.

You will need 8 GB RAM of RAM at minimum or 8 GB RAM to match the recommended spec, plus 1500 MB available space on your drive.

What graphics card does Lucid Blocks need?

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

For 1080p at 60 FPS on High, GTX 1060 6GB is the entry point in our list, with RTX 5050 the first RTX 50 card that clears it.

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.

Native 4K is a tall order, so assume DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling. The RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to hit 60 FPS on High that way.

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. Add your own processor, memory and settings in the can my PC run it checker and check for a processor limit in the bottleneck checker.

Lucid Blocks frame rates: 28 cards compared

Projected frame rates for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Switch resolution below.

In our model the RTX 5090 delivers around 360+ FPS at 1440p and 360+ FPS at 4K, while the RTX 5050 manages 360+ FPS at 1440p. The spread tells you how much the card matters for Lucid Blocks.

Full results table

All numbers are for High settings paired with a quick CPU. 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+. Put two cards side by side in the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for Lucid Blocks?

A verdict in plain English for twelve popular GPUs.

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".

The step from an RTX 5060 (360+ FPS at 1440p) to an RTX 5070 (360+ FPS) is about 0% in our modelling, a useful yardstick when choosing between the two.

Resolution playbook for Lucid Blocks: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

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

1080p playbook

1080p is straightforward on GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, 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 1080p in our modelling.

1440p playbook

At 1440p, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our modelling, so you can leave upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style 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 Lucid Blocks?

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

Of the six steps up the RTX 50 range, RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 gives the most in Lucid Blocks (around 0% at 1440p), while RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 gives the least (about 0%).

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

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

Lucid Blocks VRAM requirements

Modelled VRAM use at High settings. 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 on High settings. The figure is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU.

A single step down in textures, to Medium, reduces the 1440p estimate to around 2.2 GB, which is often enough to avoid stutter.

What each memory size means for Lucid Blocks

• A 6 GB card 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.
• On an 8 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.
• On a 12 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• A 16 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

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

Lucid Blocks CPU requirements

What a range of popular CPUs can feed a GPU here.

The published CPU range runs from Intel® Core™ i3-8130U to Intel® Core™ i3-8130U. We turn that into a frame-rate ceiling for nine popular processors in the table.

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

As a reference, a Core i5-12400F can prepare about 212 FPS here in our modelling. If your graphics card can draw more than that, you will be CPU-limited.

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

Matching a processor to a graphics card for Lucid Blocks

How seven common processor and GPU 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 162 FPS against around 360+ FPS of graphics power).

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

Lucid Blocks memory and disk space

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

Memory first. Steam sets 8 GB RAM as the minimum and 8 GB RAM as the recommended amount. With Windows, a browser and a chat app open, 16 GB leaves comfortable headroom.

The install asks for roughly 2 GB. Downloading it takes around 2 min at 100 Mbps and around 0 min at 500 Mbps, allowing for overhead.

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

Work out your total in the RAM calculator: it adds Windows, a browser and any streaming to the game's own needs. Check how long the install takes with the download time calculator.

Best settings for Lucid Blocks

Where to begin for a handful of common cards. Every cell shows the best preset that still holds 60 FPS.

The table gives the best-looking setup that still holds 60 FPS in Lucid Blocks for each card and resolution.

• After that, cut the most expensive settings. If the menu has shadows, fog or draw distance options, those are the usual culprits.
• Leave textures on High when your card has the memory. The speed cost is small. This game is estimated at 2.6 GB for 1440p.
• Reach for DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Pick the highest quality mode that delivers your target.
• Limit the frame rate to match your display and keep the PC cooler, then use the VRR and frame cap calculator to pick the figure.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.

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 or compare every mode in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Laptop performance in Lucid Blocks

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

At typical power limits, RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop reach 60 FPS at 1080p on High in our modelling, and RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop also manage 1440p.

A laptop GPU is only as fast as the power and cooling its maker allows. Look for the TGP in the spec sheet before relying on any estimate.

Test other power limits in the laptop TGP estimator.

What to watch for in Lucid Blocks

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 Lucid Blocks directly.

• Exploration games stream assets as you move, so storage speed and spare VRAM help avoid hitches when you enter new areas.
• Smaller studios sometimes ship settings menus with fewer options, so lowering resolution may be your main tuning tool.
• Action games feel best when frame times are even, so lowering one costly setting is usually better than chasing a high peak.
• Long role-playing sessions reward stable settings, so pick a preset you can leave alone rather than tuning mid-game.

Lucid Blocks: facts and Steam features

Steam user reviews put Lucid Blocks at Very Positive (93% positive from 3,283 reviews, checked 2026-11-02). It is a measure of popularity and sentiment, not of technical performance.

It was out for around 8 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 estimates from our model.

How we estimated Lucid Blocks 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 21 (from the listed 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.

Nothing on this page is a measured benchmark. Expect real frame rates to differ with drivers, updates and your own system, and treat the tables as a guide.
