About

Tetris, released in 1989, is a classic tile-matching puzzle game that has captivated players for decades. The objective is to arrange falling pieces made up of four tiles into complete rows within a ten-by-twenty well, leading to their disappearance. This arcade puzzle game is notable for its simplicity and addictive nature, featuring two distinct game modes: the endless A-Type marathon and the fixed-speed B-Type with optional challenges.

When it comes to PC performance, Tetris is remarkably accessible, making it easy to run on a wide array of hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level GPU (approximately scoring ~3900) and a CPU score starting at ~351, players can expect a smooth gameplay experience even on budget setups. The game is not demanding, allowing for high FPS and solid performance on modest rigs while providing a range of graphics settings for further optimization.

Given its impressive rating of 86/100 and its engaging yet straightforward gameplay, Tetris is highly recommended for both casual gamers and puzzle enthusiasts. Its blend of nostalgia with competitive play makes it a must-try for anyone looking to experience a piece of gaming history.

Performance profile

Released in November 1989, Tetris predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

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

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Tetris; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
