Subnautica was released in 2018. No published benchmark of Subnautica is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists Intel HD 4600 or equivalent - This includes most GPUs scoring greater than 950 points in t… 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 Subnautica, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
