Can a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB run Rec Room?
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB falls below the minimum requirement for Rec Room, and its 3GB of VRAM is under the 4GB 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 1060 3GB measures up
| Requirement | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 13 | 15 | 17 | Below |
| Video memory | 3 GB | 4 GB | 4 GB | Below |
| Ray tracing | — Not supported | Game has no RT | 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 28 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 16 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 3GB you are under the 4GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 45 FPS at 1080p, 28 FPS at 1440p and 16 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.
