Street Fighter 6 on Radeon R9 290X

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon R9 290X meets Street Fighter 6's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~31 fps at 1080p high (range 24–37, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 4 GB of video memory is below the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Arc A750 (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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 290X back.
Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~31 fps.

Video memory

Radeon R9 290X: 4 GB
