How to read this table

Each cell is a range, not a single number, because your CPU and RAM shift the result (45% GPU, 30% CPU, 25% RAM in our formula, see the GameReady Methodology). The low end assumes a CPU and RAM at that game's Minimum, the high end assumes Recommended. A missing minimum caps the score at 59 and a missing Recommended caps it at 84, so one strong component can never hide a weak one.

Perf tier is a continuous 1 to 10 scale with one decimal, built from relative gaming performance (an RTX 2060 is 4.0, an RTX 4070 is 7.0, an RTX 4090 is 10). Columns marked official use the requirements published on Steam, columns marked predicted use our own estimate and carry low confidence until official specs exist. Run your exact setup through the GameReady Checker for one number instead of a range.

Gears of War: E-Day requires ray tracing hardware, so GTX 10 and 16 series and RX 500 and 5000 series cards are marked Not ready for it however fast they are.

What the table says, by performance tier

Below 4.0 (GTX 1050 Ti, 1650, 1660, 1070, RX 590, RX 6500 XT, RTX 3050)

Not ready for GTA 6, Fable, Metro 2039 or Gears of War: E-Day on their own. The one tracked game some of them can still reach is WARDOGS, whose official minimum is a GTX 1660 or RX 590, so the 6GB and 8GB cards here are Playable there while the 4GB cards are not. If you own one of these, the GPU is your bottleneck before anything else is.

4.0 to 5.4 (RTX 2060, Arc A580, GTX 1080, RX 6600, RTX 3060, RTX 4060, Arc B570 and B580)

This is where the official Minimum of Fable and Gears of War: E-Day starts (RTX 2060 or RX 6600) and where GTA 6's predicted minimum sits. Every card here is Playable on those and none reaches Recommended, except the GTX 1080 and RX 5700 XT, which have no ray tracing hardware and so cannot run Gears of War: E-Day at all. Metro 2039's predicted minimum is higher, at an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT, so this whole band is Not ready for it.

5.5 to 6.9 (RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 5060, RX 6700 XT, RTX 3070, RX 6800, RTX 5060 Ti)

The most useful band for the confirmed games: an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT is exactly what Steam lists as Recommended for Fable and Gears of War: E-Day, so both read Ready here. GTA 6's predicted Recommended (RTX 4070) is not reached yet, so it stays Playable, and so does Metro 2039.

7.0 to 7.7 (RTX 4070, RX 7800 XT, RTX 3080, RTX 4070 Super, RTX 5070, RTX 3080 Ti)

Ready for GTA 6 on our prediction. Metro 2039 is the one still Playable, because its predicted Recommended is an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 GRE.

7.8 and up (RX 7900 GRE, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 3090, RX 9070 and everything above)

Ready on every game we track. Beyond this point ReadyScore™ does not go higher, it measures whether you can run a game acceptably, not how much headroom sits above that floor. More power buys higher resolutions and refresh rates, not a better verdict.

Why VRAM matters as much as tier

Our formula applies a flat penalty and a hard cap when a GPU's VRAM falls short of a game's requirement. That is deliberate: running out of VRAM causes stutter and texture pop-in that no amount of core performance fixes. It is why the RTX 2060 (6GB) fails Metro 2039's predicted 8GB floor while sitting only a little below the RTX 3060 Ti, and why the 4GB cards (GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 1650, RX 6500 XT) are Not ready everywhere regardless of clock speed. When two cards score similarly, more VRAM is the tie-breaker.
