Performance profile

Released in August 2006, Saints Row comes from the DirectX 9 era. Even the cheapest modern discrete GPU crushes it at maxed-out settings; the only real bottleneck today is CPU single-thread speed on older titles that were never multi-threaded.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Saints Row. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
