Active Matter on GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1060 6GB meets Active Matter's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~40 fps at 1080p high (range 32–48, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the low preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

  • 60 fps at 1080p: low preset
  • 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
  • 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

  • Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB back.
  • Processor needed for ~40 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
  • With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 3600): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~40 fps.

Video memory

  • GeForce GTX 1060 6GB: 6 GB
  • The publisher lists no video memory requirement.

Cheapest upgrade for each target

Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Active Matter; usually the cheapest.
