Slay the Spire 2 on Radeon R9 270
Yes. The Radeon R9 270 meets Slay the Spire 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~78 fps at 1080p high (range 62–94, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~55 fps on high). Its 2 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 133 | 93 | 56 |

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: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: medium 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 R9 270 back.
- Processor needed for ~78 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~78 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon R9 270: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+1 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+0 GB headroom)
