About running Deep Rock Galactic
Deep Rock Galactic is a 2020 Shooter title. It runs on modest hardware and is far more forgiving than its release year suggests. The published minimum is built around Intel Core i5-2500K paired with NVIDIA GTX 560; the recommended tier moves up to Intel Core i7-4790 and NVIDIA GTX 1060. Memory goes from 4 GB at minimum to 8 GB recommended, and you'll want roughly 8 GB free on disk. On a machine that clears the recommended tier, the thing most likely to cost you frames is whatever else is running at the same time.
How to improve Deep Rock Galactic performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while Deep Rock Galactic runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2020 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. Deep Rock Galactic wants about 8 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 4–8 GB.
Deep Rock Galactic requirements FAQ
- What are the minimum requirements for Deep Rock Galactic?
- Deep Rock Galactic lists Intel Core i5-2500K or equivalent, NVIDIA GTX 560, 4 GB of RAM and about 8 GB of storage on Windows 10 64-bit.
- Can I run Deep Rock Galactic on a NVIDIA GTX 560?
- NVIDIA GTX 560 is the published minimum graphics card, so it should start and run — at low settings, at 1080p, and with frame dips in heavy scenes. The recommended card is NVIDIA GTX 1060.
- How much RAM does Deep Rock Galactic need?
- 4 GB is the minimum and 8 GB is recommended. Below the minimum the game will stutter or fail to launch regardless of how fast your CPU and graphics card are.
- Will Deep Rock Galactic run better if I close background apps?
- Usually yes, and most on a PC near the minimum spec. Background processes compete for the same CPU time and memory the game needs. This is what FixKon automates.
