SILENT HILL 2 on GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce RTX 3060 12GB meets SILENT HILL 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~49 fps at 1080p high (range 39–59, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 7600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 84 | 59 | 35 |

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: medium preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB back.
- Processor needed for ~49 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~49 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3060 12GB: 12 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
