Quake 4 was released in 2005. No published benchmark of Quake 4 is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists DirectX 9.0c compatible video card as the minimum graphics card, a mid-range card by today's standards.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Quake 4, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
No measured data yet. We have not found a published benchmark of Quake 4 with a source we can link. The figures below come from our model and carry a ±30% band. How the estimate works.

Quake 4 FPS questions
- What graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Quake 4 at 1080p?
- By our estimate (±30%), the RTX 4060 is the least powerful of our 10 reference cards to reach 60 FPS at 1080p High, at about 66 FPS. No published benchmark of Quake 4 at that setting is in our data to confirm it.
- Can a GTX 1650 run Quake 4?
- By our estimate it gets about 43 FPS at 1080p Low (playable) and 27 FPS at 1080p High (struggles), each ±30%.
- What are the minimum system requirements for Quake 4?
- Steam lists DirectX 9.0c compatible video card graphics, Intel® Pentium® 4 2.0 GHz or AMD® Athlon® XP 2000+ processor or higher and 1 GB of RAM as the minimum.
