Can a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti run NieR:Automata™?
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti falls below the minimum requirement for NieR:Automata™, and its 1GB of VRAM is under the 2GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti measures up
| Requirement | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 3 | 8 | 11 | Below |
| Video memory | 1 GB | 2 GB | 4 GB | Below |
| Ray tracing | — Not supported | Game has no RT | N/A | |
| Upscaling | FSR | Not supported | N/A | |
Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 10 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 6 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 1GB you are under the 4GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti falls below the minimum requirement for NieR:Automata™, and its 1GB of VRAM is under the 2GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 15 FPS at 1080p, 10 FPS at 1440p and 6 FPS at 4K. These are modelled estimates — see our methodology.
What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
