VHOLUME PC requirements, FPS and best settings

VHOLUME on PC: the quick answer

Where VHOLUME ranks for hardware demand

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

Across the 937 games we have modelled, VHOLUME lands on a demand score of 15, ahead of 53% of them. In plain terms it is a mid-weight game for graphics hardware.

It comes from the recommended card on the Steam page (GTX 1060 or RX 580), 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

• As an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090 manages 338 FPS at 1080p, 338 FPS at 1440p and 338 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 338 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.
• For a mid-range card we use the RTX 5070. It returns roughly 338 / 279 / 160 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Holds roughly 160 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• For an entry card we use the RTX 5060. It returns roughly 252 / 163 / 93 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Reaches 93 FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.
• For a high-end card we use the RTX 5080. It returns roughly 338 / 338 / 219 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Native 4K works here at around 219 FPS, with no upscaling needed.

Its CPU score is 24, so it asks more of a processor than 31% of the games in our list.

System requirements for VHOLUME

Everything Steam gives for VHOLUME, then what it means for real hardware.

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

Reading the specs against real hardware

The minimum card, GTX 960 or R7 370, is the floor Steam sets. In our model it delivers roughly 79 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, and 43 FPS if you push it to High.

At the recommended level Steam gives GTX 1060 or RX 580. We estimate 79 FPS at 1080p and 51 FPS at 1440p on High. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

For the processor, Steam names Intel Core i7-7700. In our model a chip in that class can prepare roughly 101 FPS in this game, so it will not hold back most mid-range cards.

Steam sets memory at 4 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 10 GB available space of storage.

What graphics card does VHOLUME need?

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

Start at the GTX 1060 6GB if you want 60 FPS at 1080p on High. Among current RTX 50 cards, the RTX 5050 is the first to manage it.

Raise the target to 1440p and the bar moves: the GTX 1660 Super is the lowest card to hit 60 FPS on High, while the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to get there.

For 4K, upscaling does most of the work: with Quality upscaling the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to hit 60 FPS on High.

Cards across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are included. For a personal answer with your own CPU and RAM, use the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

Estimated VHOLUME FPS on 28 graphics cards

Estimated frame rates for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Pick a resolution to redraw the bars.

Top to bottom, the RTX 5090 averages roughly 338 FPS at 1440p (338 FPS at 4K) against 121 FPS for the RTX 5050 at 1440p. Where you land depends on the card and resolution you choose.

Full results table

These estimates use High settings and a fast processor. Upscaled columns assume the Quality mode of whichever upscaler the game provides. Figures above 360 FPS are shown as 360+. Put two cards side by side in the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for VHOLUME?

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

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.

The step from an RTX 5060 (163 FPS at 1440p) to an RTX 5070 (279 FPS) is around 71% in our model, a useful yardstick when choosing between the two.

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

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

1080p playbook

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

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.

1440p playbook

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

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.

4K playbook

At 4K, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our model, so you can leave upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode that keep 4K above 60 FPS.

Upgrade path: what a faster card gains in VHOLUME

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

The biggest single step in VHOLUME is RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to RTX 5070, worth around 43% at 1440p in our model. The smallest is RTX 5080 to RTX 5090 at roughly 0%.

Prices usually climb faster than performance across the range. In VHOLUME that means the best value often sits in the middle rather than at the top.

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

VHOLUME VRAM requirements

What the game is likely to want from graphics memory on High. Running short causes stutter even on a fast GPU.

We put VHOLUME at roughly 3 GB at 1080p High, 3.9 GB at 1440p and 5.4 GB at 4K. That is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU, so treat it as a guide and leave some memory spare.

If memory is tight, lower textures first: Medium brings the 1440p figure down to roughly 3.3 GB.

What each memory size means for VHOLUME

• 6 GB of VRAM reads as comfortable for 1080p, comfortable for 1440p and tight for 4K on High settings here. 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 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.
• 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.

VHOLUME CPU requirements

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

On the processor side Steam asks for Intel Core i5-4460 at minimum and Intel Core i7-7700 recommended. Below, each CPU is scored for the frame rate it can feed in VHOLUME.

VHOLUME is a mid-weight game for processors, ahead of 31% of those we model, so a recent mid-range chip is a sound match.

The Core i5-12400F caps at roughly 186 FPS in VHOLUME in our model. Beyond that frame rate the CPU, not the card, sets the pace.

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

Which builds are balanced in VHOLUME?

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

In 4 of the seven builds the processor, not the GPU, sets the 1440p frame rate in VHOLUME. The first is the RTX 5070 with Ryzen 5 7600, which the CPU holds near 250 FPS while the card could draw roughly 279.

For balance, look at RTX 4060 with Core i3-12100F. The CPU can prepare around 142 FPS and the card can draw roughly 139 FPS at 1440p, which is a close match.

These pairings are examples, not recommendations to buy. Swap in your own parts with the bottleneck checker to see which side limits you.

VHOLUME memory and disk space

RAM and disk space from the Steam page, with a practical view.

For RAM, expect 4 GB RAM at minimum and 16 GB RAM recommended. Allow for the operating system and background apps, which means 16 GB is a sensible floor.

Free up roughly 10 GB before you install. On a 100 Mbps connection the download is around 16 min, and on 500 Mbps roughly 3 min.

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

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.

Recommended VHOLUME settings by graphics card

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 VHOLUME: the preset first, then the DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode and the estimated result.

• 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.
• Leave textures on High if you have the VRAM. They barely touch frame rate. Our estimate for this game is 3.9 GB at 1440p.
• Then trim the costliest options. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Use DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Pick the highest quality mode that delivers your target.
• Change one thing at a time and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.

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, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Can a gaming laptop run VHOLUME?

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

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 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop also manage 1440p.

A laptop GPU is only as fast as the power and cooling its maker allows. Look for the TGP in the spec sheet before relying on any estimate.

Genre tips: playing VHOLUME well on PC

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

Steam gives VHOLUME under Casual, Indie, 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.
• Competitive play rewards high, steady frame rates and low input delay, so favour speed over visual extras.
• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Smaller studios sometimes ship settings menus with fewer options, so lowering resolution may be your main tuning tool.

VHOLUME: facts and Steam features

Steam players rate VHOLUME as Overwhelmingly Positive, with 97% of 2,708 reviews positive when we checked on 2026-11-02. Review scores say little about performance, but a large, positive audience means plenty of community advice on settings.

The game is out for roughly 3 months. Updates from Nathan Grange, Léonard Lemaitre, Niels Tiercelin and new graphics drivers can both change how it runs, so revisit your settings occasionally.

Steam features

Facts come from the public Steam store page. We have not tested the game on every card, so frame rates on this page are modelled estimates.

How the VHOLUME estimates work

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

Here is what feeds the estimates: demand 15 from the recommended card, CPU score 24 (from the listed processor line), and a 1080p High VRAM figure of 3 GB (estimated from the demand score).

The model divides a card's performance score by the game demand, scaled for resolution, preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style 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.
