Fallout Shelter System Requirements FAQ

Fallout Shelter can run on fairly modest hardware. If your PC meets the minimum requirements (Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or AMD Radeon HD 3850, and 2GB of RAM), you should be able to play, though you might need to lower graphics settings for optimal performance.
What GPU do I need for Fallout Shelter?
At a minimum, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or AMD Radeon HD 3850. For a smoother experience, especially on larger Vaults, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti or AMD Radeon HD 6770 or better is recommended.
How much RAM does Fallout Shelter need?
Fallout Shelter requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM. However, 4GB of RAM is recommended for a better experience, especially as your Vault grows in size and complexity.
Will Fallout Shelter run on integrated graphics?
While not officially supported, Fallout Shelter *might* run on some integrated graphics solutions, particularly newer ones. However, performance may be significantly reduced, and you may experience graphical glitches or low frame rates. Try it and see, but be prepared to adjust settings or upgrade your hardware.

Fallout Shelter doesn't have extensive graphics options. If you're experiencing performance issues, try closing other applications running in the background. The game is not graphically intensive, so performance issues are rare on systems meeting the minimum requirements.
