FM26 even runs on older graphics cards, like the Nvidia GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 380, which are almost 10 years old at this point. Both feature 2GB and 4GB variants, which shows how light the game is on PC. It even runs on the Intel HD 530, which is an integrated GPU.

However, for a more immersive experience, it is recommended to have at least the Nvidia RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. These graphics cards have 6GB VRAM each, so this should give you an idea about how powerful your setup has to be to run the game at higher resolutions or settings.
