Like every FromSoftware PC release, Sekiro is about locked, stutter-free 60 FPS — not about how many teraflops your GPU has.

What actually matters for running Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Sekiro is capped at 60 FPS, so a high-end GPU is wasted on raw framerate. What matters is consistency: a balanced CPU, fast storage and enough RAM eliminate the traversal hitches that ruin the precise, parry-heavy combat. A recommended-tier card is plenty; spend the rest of your budget on a CPU and SSD.
Three PC builds for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Each tier below pairs a real graphics card and CPU from our benchmark database to the game's targets. Treat them as reference points — comparable parts at the same performance level work just as well.

Settings and optimisation tips for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Like Elden Ring, install it on an SSD and run High rather than Maximum to keep frametimes flat — the 60 FPS cap means extra GPU power is wasted on raw frames. Shadow quality and SSAO are the easiest sliders to ease if you ever dip. Disable any external framerate-unlock tools; they break the physics tied to 60 FPS.
Will your current PC run it?
Rather than eyeball the table above, let the tool do the maths. Our Can I Run Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice page compares your exact CPU and GPU against these requirements and tells you pass or fail for both minimum and recommended, with the bottleneck highlighted.
