Whisper of the House PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run Whisper of the House?

Difficulty profile: how hard is Whisper of the House to run?

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

On our demand scale Whisper of the House 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.

Behind the number is the publisher minimum card, Intel UHD 630, converted to an equivalent 1080p High workload. That makes the score comparable between games, though not exact for any single one.

What it means by card class

• On a high-end card, the RTX 5080, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 253 FPS at 1080p, 253 FPS at 1440p.
• An RTX 5060 (an entry card) has more power than Whisper of the House can use, landing near 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p.
• RTX 5070, our example of a mid-range card, delivers roughly 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• With an enthusiast card such as the RTX 5090 the game is limited by its engine long before the card, with roughly 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p by our model.

Its CPU score is 32, so it asks more of a processor than 47% of the games in our list.

Whisper of the House PC requirements: minimum and recommended

Everything Steam names for Whisper of the House, then what it means for real hardware.

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

What the requirements mean in practice

The listed minimum is Intel UHD 630. Our model puts it near 147 FPS at 1080p on Low and 81 FPS on High, so treat it as an entry ticket rather than a target.

Steam names only a minimum specification for Whisper of the House, so our demand score leans on that card. Treat the numbers below as an upper-level guide rather than a publisher target.

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

Best graphics card for Whisper of the House by target

The lowest graphics card we tested that delivers each target in Whisper of the House, plus the first desktop RTX 50 card that does.

The lowest card we tested that holds 60 FPS at 1080p on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, and the first desktop RTX 50 card to do it is the RTX 5050.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, with the RTX 5050 leading the RTX 50 line.

4K is the hard case. With Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling enabled, the RTX 5050 is where the RTX 50 range first delivers 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.

Resolution playbook for Whisper of the House: 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 DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling by our estimates, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

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 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070, all above 60 FPS on High by our model. Upscaling then becomes optional rather than required.

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

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.

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

Stepping up the RTX 50 range in Whisper of the House

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

The biggest single step in Whisper of the House is RTX 5050 to RTX 5060, worth roughly 0% at 1440p by our model. The smallest is RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 at roughly 0%.

Do not overspend for Whisper of the House. Past the mid-range the extra graphics power goes unused, and a better processor would help more.

Whisper of the House VRAM requirements

What the game is likely to want from graphics memory on High. Falling short of VRAM causes stutter even with a quick GPU.

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.

If memory is tight, lower textures first: Medium brings the 1440p figure down to roughly 2.2 GB.

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

• With 6 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.
• An 8 GB card 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.
• 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.

Matching a processor to a graphics card for Whisper of the House

Does the CPU or the GPU set the pace? Seven example builds.

Not every pairing is balanced. 7 of the seven below are held back by the processor at 1440p, starting with RTX 4060 plus Core i3-12100F (CPU ceiling near 106 FPS against roughly 360+ FPS of graphics power).

Our model finds RTX 5090 plus Ryzen 7 9800X3D the most evenly matched build here: roughly 291 FPS from the processor against roughly 360+ FPS from the card at 1440p.

None of these is a shopping list. They show how the balance shifts as you move up the range, and the bottleneck checker lets you try your own pair.

How much RAM and storage does Whisper of the House need?

What Steam names for memory and disk space, and what it means in practice.

Memory first. Steam sets 4 GB RAM as the minimum and 4 GB RAM as the recommended amount. With Windows, a browser and a chat app open, 16 GB leaves comfortable headroom.

Free up roughly 4 GB before you install. On a 100 Mbps connection the download is roughly 6 min, and on 500 Mbps about 1 min.

No SSD requirement is listed, but solid-state storage still helps with load times.

Whisper of the House best graphics settings

Starter settings for six well-known cards. Cells list the highest-quality preset that keeps 60 FPS.

The table gives the best-looking setup that still holds 60 FPS in Whisper of the House for each card and resolution.

• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Adjust a single setting at once and note the effect on FPS before moving on.
• Set a frame cap to match your display and keep the PC cooler, and the VRR and frame cap calculator suggests a sensible number.
• Use DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Take the gentlest mode that delivers the frame rate you want.
• Keep textures high when your card has the memory. The speed cost is small. Our estimate for this game is 2.6 GB at 1440p.

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 every mode in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

Whisper of the House 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.

What to watch for in Whisper of the House

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

These are general tips for undemanding games of this type, not claims about how Whisper of the House itself is built. Use them as a prompt for what to test.

• Adventure titles often reward cinematic settings, so lean on higher textures and spend DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling where it is least visible.
• Simulation titles often build up complexity over hours of play, so test with a mature save rather than a fresh start.
• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Small teams sometimes skip advanced graphics menus, so resolution scaling and a frame cap may be your best tools.
• With a light game, a frame cap can save power and heat without any visible change.
