Alien: Isolation was released in 2014. We list 8 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 5 graphics cards. Steam lists 1GB (AMD Radeon HD 5550 or Nvidia GeForce GT 430) as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 2 of 8 times.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Alien: Isolation, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
