The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a high-end card with 12GB of VRAM, and Project Zomboid is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 177 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 177 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 177 | 177 |
| 1440p | 177 | 177 |
| 4K | 162 | 162 |
At 1080p expect around 177 FPS, at 1440p about 177 FPS, and at 4K roughly 162 FPS with optimized settings. Project Zomboid doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
