Performance profile

June 2019 release. The Hour of the Rat was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Light on hardware. The Hour of the Rat 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 — The Hour of the Rat 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.
