When real FPS differs

  • CPU. In Quake 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.

Quake FPS: frequently asked questions

How many FPS does the RTX 3060 get in Quake?
The RTX 3060 runs Quake at 295–485 FPS at 1080p High and 190–305 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 Quake?
For 60+ FPS at 1080p High, GeForce RTX 3060 is enough (295–485 FPS) — the most affordable card in the table with that result.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in Quake?
For 144+ FPS at 1080p High you need at least GeForce RTX 3060 (295–485 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 Quake), 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.
