Stick It to the Stickman PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Can your PC run Stick It to the Stickman? The short answer

Difficulty profile: how hard is Stick It to the Stickman to run?

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

Across the 937 games we have modelled, Stick It to the Stickman lands on a demand score of 36, ahead of 93% of them. In plain terms it is a demanding game for graphics hardware.

The score is derived from the recommended graphics card in the publisher requirements, Geforce RTX 2080 / Radeon RX 6600 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

• The RTX 5090, standing in for an enthusiast card, gives roughly 180 FPS at 1080p and 180 FPS at 1440p, with 144 FPS at 4K. Reaches 144 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.
• Take a high-end card, the RTX 5080: around 180 FPS at 1080p, 159 FPS at 1440p and 91 FPS at 4K on High. Native 4K works here at about 91 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• The RTX 5070, standing in for a mid-range card, gives roughly 180 FPS at 1080p and 116 FPS at 1440p, with 67 FPS at 4K. Native 4K works here at around 67 FPS, with no upscaling needed.
• For an entry card we use the RTX 5060. It returns around 105 / 68 / 33 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Handles 1440p at about 68 FPS, with 4K out of reach natively (33 FPS).

Processor demand is rated separately: Stick It to the Stickman scores 45 on our CPU scale, higher than 95% of the games we model.

Stick It to the Stickman PC requirements: minimum and recommended

Everything Steam names for Stick It to the Stickman, then what it means for real hardware.

Taken from the Steam store page; developers can revise these with updates.

Reading the specs against real hardware

The listed minimum is GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / Radeon RX 570 / Arc A380. Our model puts it near 33 FPS at 1080p on Low and 18 FPS on High, so treat it as an entry ticket rather than a target.

Steam suggests Geforce RTX 2080 / Radeon RX 6600 XT as the recommended card, good for around 66 FPS at 1080p and 43 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 i7-11800 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, can feed about 101 FPS here on our figures, a useful ceiling to compare with your graphics card.

Steam sets memory at 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 6 GB available space of storage.

What graphics card does Stick It to the Stickman need?

Pick a target and see the card it needs in Stick It to the Stickman.

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.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the Arc B580, with the RTX 5060 leading the RTX 50 line.

At 4K, expect to lean on upscaling. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is the first desktop RTX 50 card to hit 60 FPS on High once Quality upscaling is switched on.

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. To test your own parts, open the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

In this game the RTX 5070 returns around 116 FPS at 1440p while the RTX 5060 returns 68 FPS, a gap of 71% that deserves a look against price.

Stick It to the Stickman settings by resolution

A 60 FPS plan for each resolution, built from the model and tailored to this game.

1080p playbook

Native 1080p works on RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode that keep 1080p above 60 FPS.

1440p playbook

Native 1440p works on RTX 5060, RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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

4K is straightforward on RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling for extra smoothness.

Start from the preset that still delivers 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 Stick It to the Stickman

The gain from each rung of the RTX 50 ladder at 1440p using the High preset.

The biggest single step in Stick It to the Stickman is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070, worth about 43% at 1440p in our modelling. The smallest is RTX 5080 to RTX 5090 at roughly 13%.

Graphics memory for Stick It to the Stickman: how much is enough?

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

We put Stick It to the Stickman 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 GPU, so take 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.

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

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, short of memory at 1440p and short of memory at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style 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 DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• With 12 GB the verdict 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.

Stick It to the Stickman best graphics settings

A starting point for several popular cards. Each cell is the highest preset that still delivers 60 FPS.

Read each cell as a recommended starting point for Stick It to the Stickman: the preset first, then the DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode and the estimated result.

• Keep textures high if you have the VRAM. They cost little speed. Our estimate for this game is 6.5 GB for 1440p.
• Change one thing at a time and compare the result, so you can tell what helped.
• Use DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. You lose little sharpness and gain a lot of speed. Take the gentlest mode that delivers the frame rate you want.
• After that, cut the most expensive settings. If the menu has shadows, fog or draw distance options, those are the usual culprits.
• 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.

Settings assume the game offers an upscaler; check the graphics menu. 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 Stick It to the Stickman

What RTX 50 laptop GPUs manage at common wattages.

For a gaming laptop, our estimates show RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop hitting 60 FPS at 1080p on High at typical power. At 1440p that group narrows to RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop.

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.
