Destiny 2 on Radeon R7 260X
No. The Radeon R7 260X is below Destiny 2's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 660). Our model still estimates ~41 fps at 1080p low (range 33–49, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (~70 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 41 | 29 | 17 |
| medium | 31 | 22 | 13 |
| high | 24 | 17 | 10 |
| ultra | 19 | 13 | 8 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon R7 260X back.
- Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~24 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon R7 260X: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+0 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 4 GB (2 GB short)
