Halo 3 was released in 2007. No published benchmark of Halo 3 is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists GeForce GTS 450 | Radeon R7 Graphics as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Halo 3, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
