Performance profile

Released in September 2016, NightmareZ 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.

Light on hardware. NightmareZ runs comfortably on almost any modern GPU, including laptop integrated graphics; feel free to chase higher resolutions or refresh rates without worrying about bottlenecks.

Extremely light — NightmareZ 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.
