Cuphead was released in 2017. We list 2 published FPS results for it from YouTube, covering 2 graphics cards. 1 of them hit a frame cap, CPU limit or VRAM limit in the source and count as lower bounds. Steam lists Geforce 9600 GT or AMD HD 3870 512MB or higher as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today.
Frame rate cap: 60 FPS. Cuphead limits the frame rate to 60 FPS by default, so no graphics card shows more than that. Our estimates stop at 60 FPS too, and measured results at the cap count as lower bounds.

Cuphead FPS questions
- Does Cuphead have an FPS cap?
- Yes. Cuphead caps the frame rate at 60 FPS by default, so a faster graphics card will not show more than 60 FPS.
- What graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Cuphead at 1080p?
- By our estimate (±30%), the GTX 1650 is the least powerful of our 10 reference cards to reach 60 FPS at 1080p High, at about 60 FPS. No published benchmark of Cuphead at that setting is in our data to confirm it.
- Can a GTX 1650 run Cuphead?
- By our estimate it gets about 60 FPS at 1080p Low (smooth) and 60 FPS at 1080p High (smooth), each ±30%.
- What are the minimum system requirements for Cuphead?
- Steam lists Geforce 9600 GT or AMD HD 3870 512MB or higher graphics, Intel Core2 Duo E8400, 3.0GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, 3.0GHz or higher and 3 GB of RAM as the minimum.
