Can a AMD Radeon Vega 8 run Risk of Rain 2?
The AMD Radeon Vega 8 falls below the minimum requirement for Risk of Rain 2, and its 0GB of VRAM is under the 2GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the AMD Radeon Vega 8 measures up
| Requirement | AMD Radeon Vega 8 | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 4 | 7 | 9 | Below |
| Video memory | 0 GB | 2 GB | 2 GB | Below |
| Ray tracing | — Not supported | Game has no RT | N/A | |
| Upscaling | FSR | Not supported | N/A | |
Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 16 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 9 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 0GB you are under the 2GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 26 FPS at 1080p, 16 FPS at 1440p and 9 FPS at 4K. These are modelled estimates — see our methodology.
What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
