SCP: 5K
To run SCP: 5K (2022) on PC you need at least a 6 physical cores @ 3GHz or higher processor and a DEDICATED GRAPHICS REQUIRED: 3072MB of VRAM GDDR5+, with 12GB of RAM and 30GB of free storage. For higher settings and frame rates, the recommended specs are a 8 physical cores @ 3.5GHz or higher and a DEDICATED GRAPHICS REQUIRED: 6144MB of VRAM GDDR5+ with 16GB of RAM.

Building a PC to play SCP: 5K at its best
Meeting the SCP: 5K minimum requirements (a DEDICATED GRAPHICS REQUIRED: 3072MB of VRAM GDDR5+) is enough to launch the game, but it won't give you high frame rates at 1440p or 4K. The recommended DEDICATED GRAPHICS REQUIRED: 6144MB of VRAM GDDR5+ is a solid target, and stepping up to a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080 or Radeon RX 9070 XT gives you the headroom for ultra settings, ray tracing and high-refresh play. On mid-range cards, DLSS 4 and FSR frame generation can lift SCP: 5K's frame rate substantially, while a flagship RTX 5090 drives 4K at maximum settings.
The processor matters just as much: pairing your graphics card with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or an Intel Core Ultra, at least 16GB (ideally 32GB) of DDR5 RAM and a fast Gen5 NVMe SSD removes the stutter and long load times that can hold SCP: 5K back. For modern textures at 4K, aim for a GPU with 12–16GB of VRAM so you never run short.
The same premium components also decide whether your rig is VR ready: if you game in virtual reality on a Meta Quest 3, Valve Index or PlayStation VR2, a strong GPU and CPU are what hold a steady 90 FPS.
