What your graphics card can expect
These grades come from our Rig Check: we compare your card's relative performance with the official recommended card (GTX 1660). They are estimates for 1080p, not frame-rate promises.
| Your graphics card | RigCrate estimate |
|---|---|
| RTX 4060, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 2070 Super, RX 6600, RX 7600, Arc A750 or better | S — highest settings, plenty of headroom |
| GTX 1660 / 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RTX 3050, RTX 3060 | A — high settings at 1080p |
| GTX 1060 6 GB, RX 580 / 570 | B — medium settings at 1080p |
| GTX 970, GTX 1650, Arc A380 | C — playable on low settings, it meets the minimum |
| GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti, laptop integrated graphics | D — below the minimum, expect stutter |
The best settings for smooth play
ZZZ's combat is fast, so a steady frame rate matters more than shadows. Change these in order:
- Mirror Reflections off. It's the single setting that gives back the most frames.
- Volumetric Fog off. In Prima Games' test on an RTX 3060 at 1440p, turning both off raised the average from 123 to 154 FPS without a visible loss.
- FPS Limit. Set it to 60 on a 60 Hz screen; on a faster monitor, raise it to match.
- Shadows and Effects Quality: lower them next on older cards.
- Render Resolution at 1.0. Only go above it if you still have headroom.
- Anti-Aliasing. SMAA is lighter; TAA is smoother but a little softer. V-Sync off if you feel input lag.
Before you install
- Free up 75 GB, ideally on an SSD.
- Where to get it: the official HoYoPlay launcher, the Epic Games Store, or Steam since June 2026 — free on all three.
- Steam uses your HoYoverse account, so existing progress carries over when you log in.
