About
To run Smelter smoothly, a minimum GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is recommended. These entry-level graphics cards can handle the game's visuals at lower settings, making it accessible to a wide range of players. For optimal performance, targeting a mid-range GPU such as the GTX 1660 Super or RX 580 will allow for higher settings and resolutions, enabling a more visually appealing experience without compromising frame rates.
At 1080p resolution, those with entry-level GPUs should aim for low to medium settings to maintain smooth gameplay. Mid-range users can comfortably push the settings to high, ensuring a crisp and engaging visual experience. Overall, the game's requirements are quite forgiving, making it a great option for casual gamers or those with older systems looking for a fun, engaging title without heavy hardware demands. For those with the recommended specifications, expect a satisfying balance of performance and graphics.
Performance profile
Released in September 2020, Smelter targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
As a strategy title, Smelter is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Smelter 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.
