Factorio at a glance
Factorio is a factory builder game from 2020. The recommended graphics listed by the Steam store page: DirectX 11 capable GPU with 4 GB VRAM - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, Radeon RX 570, Intel Arc. It asks for 16 GB of RAM (minimum 8 GB). On PC the game caps the frame rate at 60 FPS, so no PC goes above that.
Our estimate: you need about an R9 290X for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while an RX 550 can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is fairly light on the processor; a Ryzen 5 2400G or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 16 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
