How this estimate is made, and what it is not
Only one thing on this page is a fact: the requirements table, which is what the developer published on the game's own store page. The settings tier is an estimate — it places this card and the publisher's stated cards on the same relative performance index, then caps the result where the card's memory could not sustain it. Nobody benchmarked this exact pairing, which is why you will not find a frame-rate figure here: a number invented by a formula would look more precise than anything the method can support. Drivers, the processor beside the card, the storage the game sits on and whatever upscaling you enable all move the real answer.

The rest of the machine matters too
A card that clears the bar can still be held back by the processor in front of it, and a supply that cannot feed it will shut down mid-session rather than drop frames.
