Warframe at a glance
Warframe is an action game from 2013. The minimum graphics listed by the Steam store page: DirectX 11+ capable Graphics Card. It asks for 4 GB of RAM.
Our estimate: you need about an R9 290 for a steady 60 FPS at 1080p High, while an RX 550 can hold around 30 FPS on Low. The game is very light on the processor; a Core i5-2500K or better keeps up with 60 FPS. On basic Intel UHD 630 graphics expect only about 17 FPS on Low, so a dedicated graphics card makes a big difference.
