When real FPS differs
CPU. In ICARUS 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 ICARUS?
According to the FPSHQ estimate, in ICARUS at 1080p High the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers 195–300 FPS (155–240 FPS at 1440p), while NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is enough for 60+ FPS (59–92 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 Oct 15, 2026. (model accuracy)
The RTX 3060 runs ICARUS at 59–92 FPS at 1080p High and 37–55 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 ICARUS?
For 60+ FPS at 1080p High, GeForce RTX 3060 is enough (59–92 FPS) — the most affordable card in the table with that result.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in ICARUS?
For 144+ FPS at 1080p High you need at least GeForce RTX 3090 (115–185 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 ICARUS), 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.
