What it just misses
These sit above the card by a margin small enough that lowered settings often close the gap. We do not claim a frame rate for them, only that the published requirement is higher.

How to read this
One caveat worth stating plainly. This comparison is about graphics processing speed, not video memory. Our benchmark tables hold compute scores, not memory sizes, so a card with enough speed but too little VRAM for a particular title can still struggle. The per title pages carry the VRAM requirement where the publisher states one.
Every figure here is computed. Card and processor scores come from our benchmark tables, and each game requirement comes from its publisher. Titles whose stated GPU requirement does not resolve in our tables are left out rather than placed by guesswork. How we score. Maintained by Farhad Ali.
