Supermarket Simulator PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Supermarket Simulator?

Where Supermarket Simulator ranks for hardware demand

Where it lands among 937 modelled titles, with a look at what that means for each class of card.

Across the 937 games we have modelled, Supermarket Simulator lands on a demand score of 7, ahead of 28% of them. In plain terms it is a light game for graphics hardware.

The score is derived from the minimum GPU in the publisher requirements, GTX 1050 / AMD R9 270X, 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, manages roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• An RTX 5090 (an enthusiast card) has more power than Supermarket Simulator can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• RTX 5080, our example of a high-end card, manages roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• RTX 5060, our example of an entry card, manages roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p and 348 FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.

Its CPU score is 22, so it asks more of a processor than 28% of the games in our list.

Supermarket Simulator system requirements

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

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

How the published specs translate to frame rates

Steam names GTX 1050 / AMD R9 270X as the minimum graphics card. Expect around 140 FPS at 1080p Low, or roughly 77 FPS if you raise the preset to High.

On the CPU side the recommended entry is i5 7600K / Ryzen 5 2600x, which our model rates at roughly 103 FPS of frame preparation for Supermarket Simulator.

Memory is listed as 8 GB RAM at minimum and 16 GB RAM recommended, with 5 GB available space needed on disk.

Best graphics card for Supermarket Simulator by target

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

Our estimates put 1080p 60 FPS on High within reach of the GTX 1060 6GB and above, with the RTX 5050 as the cheapest RTX 50 route there.

Raise the target to 1440p and the bar moves: the GTX 1060 6GB is the lowest card to achieve 60 FPS on High, while the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to get there.

At 4K, expect to lean on DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling. The RTX 5050 is the first desktop RTX 50 card to achieve 60 FPS on High once Quality upscaling is switched on.

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. For a personal answer with your own CPU and RAM, use the can my PC run it checker, or see whether your processor limits you in the bottleneck checker.

Graphics card verdicts: how each one handles Supermarket Simulator

How twelve well-known cards fare, explained simply.

Verdicts below use High settings throughout. For older cards a weak result mostly means lowering the preset, since Low and Medium settings recover a lot of speed in our model.

In this game the RTX 5070 returns roughly 360+ FPS at 1440p while the RTX 5060 returns 348 FPS, a gap of 6% that is worth considering against price.

Best Supermarket Simulator settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K

Settings that hold 60 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, worked out for this game.

1080p playbook

For 1080p play, GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 clear 60 FPS on High without any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling in our estimates, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

Use the table as a starting point: it shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS for each card at 1080p.

1440p playbook

1440p is straightforward on RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need upscaling for extra smoothness.

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 upscaling for extra smoothness.

Each row below is the best-looking combination that still holds 60 FPS at 4K in our model.

Is a graphics card upgrade worth it for Supermarket Simulator?

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

The biggest single step in Supermarket Simulator is RTX 5050 to RTX 5060, worth close to 35% at 1440p in our model. The smallest is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070 at roughly 0%.

With a game this light, spending more on the GPU shows diminishing returns quickly: the processor and engine set the ceiling.

How much VRAM does Supermarket Simulator need?

Estimated graphics memory use with High settings. Too little VRAM hurts smoothness whatever the GPU speed.

Expect roughly 2 GB of VRAM at 1080p, 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K on High. Remember that this is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU.

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

VRAM size by size

• On a 6 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and 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 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.
• With 16 GB the verdict 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 Supermarket Simulator?

How much frame rate each processor can prepare in this game.

On the processor side Steam asks for i5 3550 / RYZEN 5 2500X at minimum and i5 7600K / Ryzen 5 2600x recommended. Below, each CPU is scored for the frame rate it can feed in Supermarket Simulator.

With a low CPU score, Supermarket Simulator should run well on older or cheaper processors, leaving the GPU to set the pace.

The Core i5-12400F caps at roughly 202 FPS in Supermarket Simulator in our model. Beyond that frame rate the CPU, not the card, sets the pace.

Best settings for Supermarket Simulator

Starter settings for six well-known cards. Each cell is the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS.

Each cell shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS in Supermarket Simulator, with the DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode it needs.

• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadow quality, volumetrics and view distance tend to cost the most when they exist.
• Keep textures high when your card has the memory. The speed cost is small. The model puts this game at 2.6 GB at that resolution.
• 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.
• Start with upscaling. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Take the gentlest mode that manages the frame rate you want.
• Make one change per test and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.

Tips for a Casual/Indie/Simulation releases like Supermarket Simulator

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

Steam gives Supermarket Simulator under Casual, Indie, Simulation, so these general tips apply. They are hedged guidance rather than facts about the game's engine.

• With a light game, a frame cap can save power and heat without any visible change.
• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Co-operative play adds network and CPU load, so keep background apps closed when playing with friends.
• Large builds, towns or factories can push memory and processor use up over time, so leave some headroom beyond the stated minimum.
• Indie games vary widely in how well they are optimised, so patch notes and community reports can say more than hardware specs.

How the Supermarket Simulator estimates work

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

For Supermarket Simulator the demand score of 7 comes from the minimum GPU, the CPU score of 22 from the listed processor line, and the VRAM figure of 2 GB at 1080p High is 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.

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.
