Umamusume: Pretty Derby PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Can your PC run Umamusume: Pretty Derby? The short answer

How demanding is Umamusume: Pretty Derby?

How this game ranks among 937 modelled titles, and how that plays out for entry, mid-range and high-end cards.

On our demand scale Umamusume: Pretty Derby scores 4. That makes it harder to run than 0% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a light game for graphics hardware.

We take the minimum graphics card The Steam page lists (GeForce GTX 750Ti / Radeon R7 250X) 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

• An RTX 5060 (an entry card) has more power than Umamusume: Pretty Derby can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• An RTX 5090 (an enthusiast card) has more power than Umamusume: Pretty Derby can use, landing near 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• On a mid-range card, the RTX 5070, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 360+ FPS at 1080p, 360+ FPS at 1440p.
• With a high-end card such as the RTX 5080 the game is limited by its engine long before the card, with around 360+ FPS at 1080p and 360+ FPS at 1440p in our modelling.

Its CPU score is 18, so it asks more of a processor than 0% of the games in our list.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby system requirements

Official minimum and recommended specs for Umamusume: Pretty Derby, translated into frame rates.

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

How the published specs translate to frame rates

At the bottom end, Steam gives GeForce GTX 750Ti / Radeon R7 250X. That card manages roughly 147 FPS at 1080p on Low on our figures, falling to around 81 FPS on High.

Only a minimum requirement is published for Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Our figures extrapolate from it, so allow a wider margin for error.

For the processor, The Steam page lists Core i3-4360 / AMD A8-7650K. In our model a chip in that class can prepare close to 90 FPS in this game, so it will not hold back most mid-range cards.

Memory is listed as 8 GB RAM at minimum and 8 GB RAM recommended, with 11 GB available space needed on disk.

What graphics card does Umamusume: Pretty Derby need?

Pick a target and see the card it needs in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.

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.

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.

Native 4K is a tall order, so assume 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 or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

Card by card verdicts for Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Twelve popular cards, with a plain-English verdict for each.

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".

A useful comparison: RTX 5060 at roughly 360+ FPS and RTX 5070 at roughly 360+ FPS at 1440p, so the dearer card is close to 0% faster here.

Resolution playbook for Umamusume: Pretty Derby: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

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

1080p playbook

Native 1080p works on GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060, 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 upscaling mode that keep 1080p above 60 FPS.

1440p playbook

For 1440p play, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 clear 60 FPS on High without any upscaling on our figures, 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 1440p.

4K playbook

For 4K play, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080 clear 60 FPS on High without any upscaling on our figures, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

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

Stepping up the RTX 50 range in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

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

The biggest single step in Umamusume: Pretty Derby is RTX 5050 to RTX 5060, worth around 0% at 1440p in our modelling. The smallest is RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 at roughly 0%.

Because Umamusume: Pretty Derby is light on graphics hardware, upgrades beyond the middle of the range mostly raise a number the game or CPU already limits, so a dearer card buys little.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby VRAM requirements

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

The model gives 2 GB at 1080p High, rising to 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K. It is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, not a measurement.

Texture settings have the biggest effect on VRAM. In our model Medium textures cut 1440p use from 2.6 GB to close to 2.2 GB.

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

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable 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 comfortable at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• 12 GB of VRAM reads as comfortable for 1080p, comfortable for 1440p and comfortable for 4K with High settings here. 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.

Best settings for Umamusume: Pretty Derby

A starting point for several popular cards. Every cell shows the best preset that still holds 60 FPS.

Each cell shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• Use upscaling first. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits your target.
• Then trim the costliest options. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Do not cut textures first when your card has the memory. They cost little speed. This game is estimated at 2.6 GB at that resolution.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.
• Limit the frame rate to your monitor to save power and heat, and check the VRR and frame cap calculator for a sensible figure.

These tables assume the game includes an upscaler, so look in its graphics menu. Get a personal recommendation in the best settings generator or compare every mode in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Can a gaming laptop run Umamusume: Pretty Derby?

Estimated FPS on RTX 50 laptop GPUs at typical power limits.

Laptop results: 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 at the power limits we assume, and RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, 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.

Genre tips: playing Umamusume: Pretty Derby well on PC

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

The Steam page lists Umamusume: Pretty Derby under Simulation, Sports, Free To Play, so these general tips apply. They are hedged guidance rather than facts about the game's engine.

• Simulation games usually keep the processor busy, so a strong CPU and plenty of RAM often help more than a bigger graphics card.
• Full controller support is listed, so playing from the sofa on a TV is an option, where 60 FPS is usually the sensible target.
• Sports games are usually tuned for a locked 60 FPS, so a steady frame rate matters more than a high average.
• Free-to-play games often target a wide range of hardware, so upscaling and lower presets are usually well supported.
• In player-versus-player modes, turn off effects you do not need and cap your frame rate for consistent timing.
