Rough estimate Steam lists only a minimum tier, written for VR headsets, so this desktop estimate is rough.
VR mode is not modelled: these estimates are for desktop mode. Steam lists only a minimum tier (for VR), and busy worlds with many avatars run much slower.

VRChat at a glance
VRChat is a social game that came out on PC on January 16, 2014. The minimum graphics listed by the Steam store page: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 / AMD Radeon™ R9 290 equivalent or greater. It asks for 4 GB of RAM.
Our estimate: the minimum for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High is an RTX 2060 12GB (older card), and an R9 290 (older card) holds around 30 FPS on Low. To buy new, we suggest an RX 6600. The game is moderately demanding on the processor; a Ryzen 5 3400G or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 5 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
