About
To enjoy The Infected smoothly, an entry-level GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is recommended. These graphics cards can handle the game's relatively modest requirements, allowing players to experience decent frame rates at 1080p with medium settings. For those with more powerful hardware, such as a GTX 1660 or RX 6600, you can push the settings to high and achieve better visuals without sacrificing performance.
The game is designed to be accessible, making it a good fit for casual gamers and those looking to explore the survival genre without needing top-tier equipment. Players with older GPUs may still enjoy the game at lower settings, but performance may dip, especially in more populated areas or during intense gameplay moments. Overall, if you're interested in a survival crafting experience that doesn't demand the latest hardware, this title is a solid choice for a variety of setups.
Performance profile
Released in August 2020, The Infected 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.
Simulation titles like The Infected are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.
Extremely light — The Infected 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.
Storyline
A virus was a lot more serious than anticipated, a treatment was looking promising. A drug trial seemed to work, many were getting better and fatality rates were dropping. But oh my god, something went wrong. Some unexpected side effects began to arise, causing human DNA to mutate into something unknown. We call them Vambies, they seem to look like mix between a vampire and zombie. Well this is what the media is telling us but is that the truth?
