Good frame rates can be beneficial when playing competitive games. A higher frame rate will reduce input lag allowing you to react more quickly to events on screen.

To easily see how your graphics card compares to these specifications use our interactive GPU checker.

CPU Requirements

Zero Strain requires that you have a minimum of an Intel Core i3 6100 3.7 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz processor. For the best game experience an Intel Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5 GHz (or better) processor is recommended.

Some games require a powerful CPU in order to manage the game engine. The game engine deals with things like processing network communications for multi-player games and the AI of your enemies in strategy games. Some games are considered CPU intensive or CPU dependent. Most modern games offload work directly to the GPU and don't require a powerful CPU for demanding visuals.
