About
Fallout Shelter (2015) is a free-to-play vault management simulation that puts you in charge of an underground Vault-Tec facility. The game blends RPG and simulation mechanics as you build your vault, manage dwellers, and defend against wasteland threats. It's a casual strategy experience that became popular across multiple platforms for its approachable gameplay and Fallout universe setting.
The game is highly accessible from a hardware perspective, making it ideal for benchmarking on budget systems. You'll achieve smooth FPS performance on entry-level GPUs with a minimum score around 2831, paired with just 2 GB of RAM. Fallout Shelter runs well on older graphics cards and integrated graphics, so even mid-range GPUs will deliver excellent frame rates and graphics settings without performance concerns.
With a 63/100 rating, Fallout Shelter offers casual entertainment if you enjoy management sims and the Fallout franchise. It's worth trying given the free-to-play model, though long-term engagement depends on your tolerance for simulation mechanics and mobile-style gameplay.
Performance profile
Released in June 2015, Fallout Shelter sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
Simulation titles like Fallout Shelter are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.
Extremely light — Fallout Shelter runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
