vivid/stasis PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run vivid/stasis?

Difficulty profile: how hard is vivid/stasis to run?

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 vivid/stasis scores 15. That makes it harder to run than 53% of the 937 games in our data set, which we class as a mid-weight game for graphics hardware.

It comes from the recommended card on the Steam page (GTX 1060 / 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

• Take a mid-range card, the RTX 5070: close to 203 FPS at 1080p, 203 FPS at 1440p and 160 FPS at 4K on High. Holds roughly 160 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• Take an entry card, the RTX 5060: close to 203 FPS at 1080p, 163 FPS at 1440p and 93 FPS at 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 93 FPS before any upscaling.
• Take a high-end card, the RTX 5080: close to 203 FPS at 1080p, 203 FPS at 1440p and 203 FPS at 4K on High. Holds roughly 203 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.
• Take an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090: close to 203 FPS at 1080p, 203 FPS at 1440p and 203 FPS at 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 203 FPS before any upscaling.

Its CPU score is 40, so it asks more of a processor than 89% of the games in our list.

vivid/stasis system requirements

Official minimum and recommended specs for vivid/stasis, translated into frame rates.

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

Reading the specs against real hardware

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

Step up to the recommended GTX 1060 / RX 580 and the model returns roughly 79 FPS at 1080p and 51 FPS at 1440p. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

Steam asks for Intel Core i5-11300H / AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4200G at the recommended level. That class of processor tops out near 101 FPS in vivid/stasis in our modelling.

Steam sets memory at 8 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 8266 MB available space of storage.

Best graphics card for vivid/stasis by target

Pick a target and see the card it needs in vivid/stasis.

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.

Moving up to 1440p, the GTX 1660 Super is the lowest card that holds 60 FPS on High, and the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 option.

4K is the hard case. With Quality upscaling enabled, the RTX 5050 is where the RTX 50 range first hits 60 FPS on High.

Cards across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are included. 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.

Estimated vivid/stasis FPS on 28 graphics cards

Modelled FPS for 28 graphics cards from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Use the buttons to change resolution.

Top to bottom, the RTX 5090 averages close to 203 FPS at 1440p (203 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

Every figure assumes the High preset with a fast processor. The last two columns use Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Figures above 360 FPS are shown as 360+. Compare two cards directly in the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for vivid/stasis?

A verdict in plain English for twelve popular graphics cards.

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".

The step from an RTX 5060 (163 FPS at 1440p) to an RTX 5070 (203 FPS) is about 25% in our modelling, a useful yardstick when choosing between the two.

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

1080p playbook

For 1080p play, GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 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 1080p in our modelling.

1440p playbook

Native 1440p works on RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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

4K playbook

Native 4K works on RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080, all above 60 FPS on High in our modelling. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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

Upgrade path: what a faster card gains in vivid/stasis

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

Moving from the RTX 5050 to the RTX 5060 adds close to 35% at 1440p, the largest jump in the RTX 50 range for vivid/stasis. The RTX 5070 to RTX 5070 Ti step adds only about 0%.

Prices usually climb faster than performance across the range. In vivid/stasis 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.

vivid/stasis VRAM requirements

Estimated graphics memory use on High settings. Running short causes stutter even on a fast GPU.

The model gives 3 GB at 1080p High, rising to 3.9 GB at 1440p and 5.4 GB at 4K. It is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, not a measurement.

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

What each memory size means for vivid/stasis

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and tight at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• With 8 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• On a 12 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• 16 GB of VRAM reads as comfortable for 1080p, comfortable for 1440p and comfortable for 4K on High settings here. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

vivid/stasis CPU requirements

Which processors keep a fast graphics card busy in this game.

Steam lists Intel Core i5-10310U / AMD Ryzen Embedded V1404I as the minimum processor and Intel Core i5-11300H / AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4200G as the recommended one. The table shows the most frames each chip can prepare in our modelling, regardless of graphics settings.

vivid/stasis is one of the more processor-hungry games in our list (higher than 89%), so a fast CPU pays off, especially at 1080p and 1440p where the graphics card is not the limit.

The Core i5-12400F caps at roughly 111 FPS in vivid/stasis in our modelling. Beyond that frame rate the CPU, not the card, sets the pace.

CPU and GPU pairings for vivid/stasis

How seven common processor and graphics card pairs behave in this game.

In 7 of the seven builds the processor, not the GPU, sets the 1440p frame rate in vivid/stasis. The first is the RTX 4060 with Core i3-12100F, which the CPU holds near 85 FPS while the card could draw close to 139.

For balance, look at RTX 5060 with Ryzen 5 5600. The CPU can prepare around 117 FPS and the card can draw close to 163 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.

How much RAM and storage does vivid/stasis need?

What The Steam page lists for memory and disk space, and what it means in practice.

8 GB RAM is the minimum and 8 GB RAM the recommended memory. Once Windows and your usual apps are counted, 16 GB covers it.

Free up close to 8 GB before you install. On a 100 Mbps connection the download is about 13 min, and on 500 Mbps roughly 3 min.

Steam does not state an SSD requirement, so an SSD still improves loading times, but a hard drive should not stop the game launching.

Work out your total in the RAM calculator: it adds Windows, a browser and any streaming to the game's own needs. Estimate the wait with the download time calculator.

Best settings for vivid/stasis

Where to begin for a handful of common cards. Cells list the highest-quality preset that keeps 60 FPS.

Each cell shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS in vivid/stasis, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• 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.
• Use DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. It costs little image quality and gains many frames. Take the gentlest mode that reaches 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.
• Do not cut textures first when your card has the memory. The speed cost is small. The model puts this game at 3.9 GB for 1440p.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.

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.

vivid/stasis on gaming laptops

Modelled laptop results at the power limits laptops usually ship with.

For a gaming laptop, our estimates show RTX 5050 Laptop, 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 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, 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.

How we estimated vivid/stasis performance

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

For vivid/stasis the demand score of 15 comes from the recommended graphics card, the CPU score of 40 from the listed processor line, and the VRAM figure of 3 GB at 1080p High is estimated from the demand score.

In short: card performance divided by game demand, adjusted for resolution, preset and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling, reduced when VRAM is short and capped by processor speed.

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.
