Hearts of Iron IV on AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics

Below minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

No. The AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics is below Hearts of Iron IV's minimum spec (Intel Iris Xe Graphics). Our model still estimates ~71 fps at 1080p low (range 57–86, 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 GTX 1630 (~72 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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

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 AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics back.
Processor needed for ~42 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2500K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~42 fps.
