VRChat on GeForce GTX 960

Below minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

No. The GeForce GTX 960 is below VRChat's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 970). Our model still estimates ~38 fps at 1080p low (range 27–49, 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 6600 (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 960 back.
Processor needed for ~38 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
