Mycopunk PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Mycopunk?

How demanding is Mycopunk?

Where it lands among 937 modelled titles, and what that means for different classes of graphics card.

On our demand scale Mycopunk scores 35. That makes it harder to run than 90% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a demanding game for graphics hardware.

It comes from the recommended card on the Steam page (Geforce RTX 2080 / Radeon RX 5700 XT / Arc A750), 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

• For a mid-range card we use the RTX 5070. It returns around 185 / 119 / 69 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 69 FPS before any upscaling.
• For an entry card we use the RTX 5060. It returns around 108 / 70 / 34 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Handles 1440p at about 70 FPS, with 4K out of reach natively (34 FPS).
• The RTX 5090, standing in for an enthusiast card, gives roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 259 FPS at 1440p, with 149 FPS at 4K. Holds roughly 149 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• Take a high-end card, the RTX 5080: around 253 FPS at 1080p, 163 FPS at 1440p and 94 FPS at 4K on High. Reaches 94 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.

Its CPU score is 21, so it asks more of a processor than 21% of the games in our list.

Mycopunk system requirements

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

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

What the requirements mean in practice

Steam names GeForce GTX 960 / Radeon R9 380 / Arc A380 as the minimum graphics card. Expect around 34 FPS at 1080p Low, or around 19 FPS if you raise the preset to High.

Step up to the recommended Geforce RTX 2080 / Radeon RX 5700 XT / Arc A750 and the model returns roughly 80 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

The recommended processor, Intel Core i7-6700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, can feed about 100 FPS here on our figures, a useful ceiling to compare with your GPU.

Steam sets memory at 8 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 10 GB available space of storage.

What graphics card does Mycopunk need?

Pick a target and see the card it needs in Mycopunk.

For 1080p at 60 FPS on High, RTX 2060 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 Arc B580. Within the RTX 50 range that means the RTX 5060 or above.

4K is the hard case. With Quality upscaling enabled, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is where the RTX 50 range first hits 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 look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

Mycopunk FPS by graphics card

Projected 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 259 FPS at 1440p and 149 FPS at 4K. The RTX 5050 sits at roughly 52 FPS at 1440p, which shows how wide the range is in Mycopunk.

Full results table

All numbers are for the High preset with a fast processor. The two upscaled columns switch on Quality upscaling, which only applies if the game supports it. Anything over 360 FPS is capped at 360+ for display. For a head-to-head, open the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for Mycopunk?

How twelve well-known cards fare, explained simply.

Think of the verdict column as a starting point. It judges every card with High settings, so a modest result can often be improved by dropping one preset or using upscaling.

The step from an RTX 5060 (70 FPS at 1440p) to an RTX 5070 (119 FPS) is about 71% in our modelling, a useful yardstick when choosing between the two.

Resolution playbook for Mycopunk: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

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

1080p playbook

At 1080p, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, RTX 5060 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 upscaling mode that keep 1080p above 60 FPS.

1440p playbook

1440p is straightforward on RTX 5060, RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need upscaling for extra smoothness.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and upscaling mode that keep 1440p above 60 FPS.

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 hits 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 Mycopunk

How much faster each next RTX 50 card is at 1440p with High settings.

Of the six steps up the RTX 50 range, RTX 5080 to RTX 5090 gives the most in Mycopunk (around 59% at 1440p), while RTX 5070 to RTX 5070 Ti gives the least (about 17%).

Check the percentage against what each step costs you. In a game like Mycopunk the cheapest frames usually come from the lower and middle steps.

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

Mycopunk VRAM requirements

What the game is likely to want from graphics memory on High. Too little VRAM hurts smoothness whatever the GPU speed.

We put Mycopunk at around 5 GB at 1080p High, 6.5 GB at 1440p and 9.0 GB at 4K. That is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, so use it as a guide and leave some memory spare.

Texture settings have the biggest effect on VRAM. In our model Medium textures cut 1440p use from 6.5 GB to around 5.5 GB.

What each memory size means for Mycopunk

• With 6 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, short of memory at 1440p and short of memory 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 short of memory at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• A 12 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K 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 read how much VRAM you need for gaming.

Mycopunk processor guide

Which processors keep a fast graphics card busy in this game.

Minimum CPU: Intel Core i3-610 / AMD FX-8350. Recommended: Intel Core i7-6700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X. The table converts processor strength into a ceiling on frames per second for Mycopunk.

Do not worry too much about the CPU for Mycopunk: it sits towards the light end of our scale.

The Core i5-12400F caps at roughly 212 FPS in Mycopunk in our modelling. Beyond that frame rate the CPU, not the card, sets the pace.

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

Which builds are balanced in Mycopunk?

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

In Mycopunk none of the seven builds is held back by its processor at 1440p, which means the graphics card decides the frame rate across the board.

The best-balanced pairing is the RTX 5090 with Ryzen 7 9800X3D: its processor ceiling (around 360+ FPS) sits close to what the card can draw (about 259 FPS) at 1440p, so neither part is wasted.

Use the table to see how balance changes, then enter your real parts in the bottleneck checker for a personal answer.

RAM and storage for Mycopunk

The memory and storage Steam asks for, and how to read it.

8 GB RAM is the minimum and 8 GB RAM the recommended memory. Once Windows and your usual apps are counted, 16 GB covers it.

On disk, plan for around 10 GB free. At 100 Mbps with typical overhead that is roughly 16 min to download, or about 3 min at 500 Mbps.

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

Work out your total in the RAM calculator, which counts Windows, background apps and streaming on top of the game. Estimate the wait with the download time calculator.

Mycopunk best graphics settings

A starting point for several popular 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 Mycopunk for each card and resolution.

• Change one thing at a time and compare the result, so you can tell what helped.
• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadow quality, volumetrics and view distance tend to cost the most when they exist.
• Do not cut textures first if memory allows. The speed cost is small. This game is estimated at 6.5 GB at 1440p.
• Use upscaling first. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits 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.

These tables assume the game includes an upscaler, so look in its graphics menu. For advice matched to your own PC, use the best settings generator and compare upscaling modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Can a gaming laptop run Mycopunk?

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

Laptop results: RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop reach 60 FPS at 1080p on High at the power limits we assume, and RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop can also do 1440p.

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.

Try different wattages in the laptop TGP estimator.

Tips for an Action/Indie releases like Mycopunk

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 Mycopunk directly.

• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Indie games vary widely in how well they are optimised, so patch notes and community reports can say more than hardware specs.
• In action games, consistent frame times usually matter more than the average, so avoid settings that cause stutter.
• Co-operative play adds network and CPU load, so keep background apps closed when playing with friends.

Game facts and Steam reviews for Mycopunk

Steam user reviews put Mycopunk at Very Positive (91% positive from 3,459 reviews, checked 2026-11-02). It is a measure of popularity and sentiment, not of technical performance.

Mycopunk has been out for around 1 month, which means drivers and patches are likely still changing its performance. Re-check settings after major updates.

Steam features

Facts come from the public Steam store page. We have not benchmarked every card, so treat the frame rates on this page as modelled estimates.

Method: where the Mycopunk numbers come from

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

The inputs for Mycopunk are a graphics demand of 35 (taken from the recommended card), a processor score of 21 (from the listed processor line) and 5 GB of VRAM at 1080p High (estimated from the demand score).

The model divides a card's performance score by the game demand, scaled for resolution, preset and upscaling, with a penalty when memory runs short and a ceiling set by a fast reference processor.

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.
