Satisfactory FPS & GPU Guide
Estimated FPS for Satisfactory on every popular graphics card at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, the cheapest card that clears each target, and the builds that run it well. Figures are honest estimates at high settings, native resolution (upscaling raises them) - not lab measurements.
Worth knowing: UE5. Late-game mega-factories are hard CPU-bound

What graphics card do I need to run Satisfactory at 1440p?
For a smooth 60 FPS at 1440p (high settings, no upscaling), you want at least an NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti (around $119). Faster cards give you headroom for higher refresh rates or ray tracing.
Is Satisfactory CPU or GPU intensive?
Satisfactory leans on your CPU - a weak processor will cap your frame rate no matter how strong the GPU. Pair a modern 6-8 core chip (Ryzen 5/7 or Core i5/i7) with your card.
What FPS does the NVIDIA RTX 5090 get in Satisfactory?
Paired with a fast CPU, the NVIDIA RTX 5090 pushes roughly 138 FPS at 1080p, 138 at 1440p, and 107 at 4K in Satisfactory (native, high settings - upscaling raises these).
Can my PC run Satisfactory?
At a minimum you'll want around an NVIDIA GTX 1070 for 1080p 60 FPS. Not sure if your exact parts are up to it? Run our free bottleneck checker to see your estimated FPS.
