- Action
Quake was released in 1996. No published benchmark of Quake is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate.
Frame rate cap: 60 FPS. Quake limits the frame rate to 60 FPS by default, so no graphics card shows more than that. Our estimates stop at 60 FPS too.

SteamQuake FPS questions
- Does Quake have an FPS cap?
- Yes. Quake 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 Quake 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 Quake at that setting is in our data to confirm it.
- Can a GTX 1650 run Quake?
- By our estimate it gets about 60 FPS at 1080p Low (smooth) and 60 FPS at 1080p High (smooth), each ±30%.
