Thief was released in 2014. We list 2 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 2 graphics cards. Steam lists AMD Radeon 4800 series / Nvidia GTS 250 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 Thief, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
