When real FPS differs
CPU. In Drone Arena a weak CPU limits FPS regardless of the graphics card — especially at 1080p.
Graphics settings. The table is for High settings. Dropping to Medium raises FPS by 20–40%.
Upscaling. DLSS/FSR/XeSS raise FPS by 30–70% with minimal quality loss.
Game version. Patches and engine updates change performance.

In short
How many FPS in Drone Arena?
According to the FPSHQ estimate, in Drone Arena at 1080p High the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers 190–325 FPS (160–265 FPS at 1440p), while NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is enough for 60+ FPS (62–105 FPS). The table below shows the expected average FPS on 26 popular graphics cards at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement); data as of Nov 13, 2026. (model accuracy)
How many FPS does the RTX 3060 get in Drone Arena?
The RTX 3060 runs Drone Arena at 62–105 FPS at 1080p High and 37–61 FPS at 1440p. Number source: FPSHQ model calibrated on real measurements of this game and/or graphics card.
Which graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Drone Arena?
For 60+ FPS at 1080p High, GeForce RTX 3060 is enough (62–105 FPS) — the most affordable card in the table with that result.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in Drone Arena?
For 144+ FPS at 1080p High you need at least Radeon RX 7900 GRE (110–190 FPS); on weaker cards, Medium settings and DLSS/FSR help.
Why is my FPS lower than in the table?
Real FPS depends on the CPU (especially in Drone Arena), the game and driver versions, background apps and graphics settings. The table shows the graphics card without a CPU limit (as on test benches); the FPS calculator accounts for your CPU.
