Tidy Up the Town Low FPS: Practical Checks

Check hardware requirements, display workload and repeatable frame-rate symptoms.

Compare with official requirements

The store lists 8 GB RAM and a GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB or Radeon RX 570 with 4 GB as minimum references. Direct3D 12 or Vulkan support is required. Meeting minimum specifications does not promise a particular frame rate at every resolution or setting.

Reduce one source of workload at a time

Measure the same scene before and after a change. Close unnecessary background applications. If display resolution or graphics controls are available in your version, try a lower workload and keep notes. On a laptop, confirm that the intended GPU is active and the system is not in a low-power mode.

Report the right symptom

A consistently low frame rate differs from occasional pauses or a crash. Include hardware, driver version, resolution and the area where performance drops when asking for help. Do not substitute optimization instructions from similarly named games. See stuttering checks or AMD performance checks for a narrower investigation.
