Some popular mid-range Nvidia GPUs include the RTX 3070, 4070, 5060 Ti, 5070, and even older models like the GTX 1060 and RTX 2070. AMD's mid-range GPUs include the Radeon RX 5700 XT, 6700 XT, 6750 XT, 7700 XT, 7800XT, and the 9070. Intel's Arc B570 and B580 also fit well into this category.

These GPUs typically feature anywhere between 6GB and 12GB of VRAM, with some models having as much as 16 GB. With these specs, running a low-demand game like Silksong shouldn't be an issue at all.

Here are the best settings for running the game on mid-tier GPUs:

  • Resolution: 2560 x 1440 @ 240 Hz
  • Full Screen: Borderless
  • VSync: Off
  • Particle Effects: Normal
  • Blur Quality: High
  • Frame Rate Cap: On
  • Brightness: As per preference

The game runs incredibly well at 1440p resolution on 6GB and 8GB VRAM GPUs, easily showing over 240 FPS in most cases. However, if you own a 16GB VRAM graphics card, you could go up to 4K (3840 x 2160) if your display supports it.

Particle Effects and Blur Quality are about the only graphics settings available to be tweaked. You can have these at the max setting for the best visual quality. We recommend turning on VSync only if you don't own a monitor that supports AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync.
