R.E.P.O. PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Can your PC run R.E.P.O.? The short answer

Difficulty profile: how hard is R.E.P.O. to run?

Where this game sits among 937 modelled titles, and what that means for different classes of GPU.

Across the 937 games we have modelled, R.E.P.O. lands on a demand score of 23, ahead of 68% of them. In plain terms it is a mid-weight game for graphics hardware.

We take the recommended GPU The Steam page lists (GTX 1070) and translate it into a 1080p High demand figure. The result ranks games well, but individual frame rates will vary.

What it means by card class

• As an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090 manages 270 FPS at 1080p, 270 FPS at 1440p and 226 FPS at 4K. Reaches 226 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.
• Take a high-end card, the RTX 5080: close to 270 FPS at 1080p, 248 FPS at 1440p and 143 FPS at 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 143 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.
• As an entry card, the RTX 5060 manages 164 FPS at 1080p, 106 FPS at 1440p and 61 FPS at 4K. Reaches 61 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.
• For a mid-range card we use the RTX 5070. It returns close to 270 / 182 / 104 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 104 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.

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

R.E.P.O. system requirements

The official specs for R.E.P.O., compared with real GPUs and processors.

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

What the requirements mean in practice

The minimum card, GTX 970, is the floor Steam sets. In our model it manages close to 68 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, and 38 FPS if you push it to High.

Steam suggests GTX 1070 as the recommended card, good for close to 80 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p on High here. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

The recommended processor, Intel Core i7 8700, can feed about 103 FPS here in our estimates, 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 1 GB available space on your drive.

Best graphics card for R.E.P.O. by target

Which card hits which target in R.E.P.O., from a 30 FPS floor to 4K.

Start at the GTX 1660 Super if you want 60 FPS at 1080p on High. Among current RTX 50 cards, the RTX 5050 is the first to manage it.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the RTX 2060, with the RTX 5050 leading the RTX 50 line.

4K is the hard case. With Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling enabled, the RTX 5050 is where the RTX 50 range first reaches 60 FPS on High.

The table covers NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards. To test your own parts, open the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

R.E.P.O. FPS by graphics card

Modelled FPS for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Switch resolution below.

In our model the RTX 5090 manages close to 270 FPS at 1440p and 226 FPS at 4K, while the RTX 5050 manages 79 FPS at 1440p. The spread tells you how much the card matters for R.E.P.O..

Full results table

All numbers are for the High preset with a fast processor. The last two columns use Quality upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Anything over 360 FPS is capped at 360+ for display. For a head-to-head, open the GPU comparison tool.

Card by card verdicts for R.E.P.O.

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 DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.

A useful comparison: RTX 5060 at roughly 106 FPS and RTX 5070 at roughly 182 FPS at 1440p, so the dearer card is close to 71% faster here.

Best R.E.P.O. settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K

A 60 FPS plan for each resolution, built from the model and tailored to 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 upscaling for extra smoothness.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and upscaling mode that keep 1080p above 60 FPS.

1440p playbook

At 1440p, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our model, so you can leave DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

Use the table as a starting point: it shows the highest preset that still reaches 60 FPS for each card at 1440p.

4K playbook

For 4K play, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080 clear 60 FPS on High without any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling in our estimates, which leaves room to raise individual 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 R.E.P.O.

What each step up the RTX 50 range adds at 1440p with High settings.

Our model finds the best value step at RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070, close to 43% faster at 1440p, and the weakest at RTX 5080 to RTX 5090, about 9%.

Check the percentage against what each step costs you. In a game like R.E.P.O. 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.

R.E.P.O. VRAM requirements

Estimated graphics memory use with High settings. Falling short of VRAM causes stutter even with a quick GPU.

Expect roughly 4 GB of VRAM at 1080p, 5.2 GB at 1440p and 7.2 GB at 4K on High. Remember that this is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU.

Texture settings have the biggest effect on VRAM. In our model Medium textures cut 1440p use from 5.2 GB to close to 4.4 GB.

Budget tiers: 6, 8, 12 and 16 GB cards

• On a 6 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is tight and 4K is short of memory on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• 8 GB of VRAM reads as comfortable for 1080p, comfortable for 1440p and tight for 4K with High settings here. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style 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.

Which processor do you need for R.E.P.O.?

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

Minimum CPU: Core i5 6600. Recommended: Intel Core i7 8700. The table converts processor strength into a ceiling on frames per second for R.E.P.O..

R.E.P.O. is a mid-weight game for processors, ahead of 43% of those we model, so a recent mid-range chip is a sound match.

A Core i5-12400F tops out near 148 FPS in R.E.P.O. in our estimates, a handy line to compare against your card.

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

CPU and GPU pairings for R.E.P.O.

How seven common processor and GPU pairs behave in this game.

Not every pairing is balanced. 1 of the seven below are held back by the processor at 1440p, starting with RTX 5090 plus Ryzen 7 9800X3D (CPU ceiling near 310 FPS against close to 360+ FPS of graphics power).

If you want neither part to idle, RTX 5070 Ti with Core i5-14600K comes closest at 1440p, with a CPU ceiling near 211 FPS and a card good for close to 212 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.

RAM and storage for R.E.P.O.

What The Steam page 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.

Free up close to 1 GB before you install. On a 100 Mbps connection the download is about 2 min, and on 500 Mbps about 0 min.

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

Size your memory with the RAM calculator, which adds your usual background apps to what the game asks for. Time the download with the download time calculator.

Recommended R.E.P.O. settings by graphics card

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

These are our model's best 60 FPS setups for R.E.P.O., ranked by image quality.

• Make one change per test and note the effect on FPS before moving on.
• Start with upscaling. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Pick the highest quality mode that manages your target.
• Cap your frame rate at your monitor refresh rate to save power and noise, then use the VRR and frame cap calculator to pick the figure.
• 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. They cost little speed. The model puts this game at 5.2 GB for 1440p.

Settings assume the game offers an upscaler; check the 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 R.E.P.O.?

What RTX 50 laptop GPUs manage at common wattages.

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 model, and RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop also manage 1440p.

Treat laptop numbers cautiously. Wattage, cooling and memory vary between makers, so the same chip can land well below the figures above.

Tips for an Action titles like R.E.P.O.

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

The advice below is general guidance for this kind of game, written from the genres The Steam page lists for R.E.P.O.. It is a prompt for testing, not a technical statement about the game.

• In co-op sessions the frame rate can dip when more players or objects are on screen, so leave some headroom.
• Action games feel best when frame times are even, so lowering one costly setting is usually better than chasing a high peak.
• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Because early access games are still being developed, treat today's performance as a snapshot rather than a guarantee.

R.E.P.O.: facts and Steam features

Steam user reviews put R.E.P.O. at Overwhelmingly Positive (96% positive from 141,072 reviews, checked 2026-11-02). It is a measure of popularity and sentiment, not of technical performance.

Being out for close to 21 months, R.E.P.O. may still receive performance patches, so keep it updated and keep your graphics drivers current.

Steam features

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

How we estimated R.E.P.O. performance

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

Three numbers drive this page: graphics demand 23 (from the recommended card), CPU score 30 (from the listed processor line) and VRAM of 4 GB at 1080p High (estimated from the demand score).

Each card is scored against the game demand, then scaled for resolution, quality preset and upscaling. If a card has less VRAM than the game wants, the estimate drops, and a processor ceiling stops frame rates running away.

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.
