Project Zomboid on GeForce GTX 950
No. The GeForce GTX 950 is below Project Zomboid's minimum spec. Our model still estimates ~38 fps at 1080p low (range 26–49, low confidence, ±30%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~68 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 38 | 26 | 16 |

| high | 22 | 15 | 9 |
| ultra | 18 | 12 | 7 |
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
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 950 back.
- Processor needed for ~38 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 950: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (2 GB short)
