Project Zomboid on Radeon RX Vega 56

Meets recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The Radeon RX Vega 56 meets Project Zomboid's recommended spec. We estimate ~60 fps at 1080p high (range 42–78, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~42 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

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

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 RX Vega 56 back.
Processor needed for ~60 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).

Video memory

Radeon RX Vega 56: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (+4 GB headroom)
