Prisoners Chess on GeForce GTX 1630

Meets recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce GTX 1630 meets Prisoners Chess's recommended spec. We estimate ~60 fps at 1080p high (range 48–72, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~42 fps on high). Its 4 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. 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: high preset
60 fps at 1440p: low preset
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 1630 back.
Processor needed for ~60 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-8400): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~60 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 1630: 4 GB
Minimum spec: 1 GB (+3 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 2 GB (+2 GB headroom)
