Quake Live — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.

System requirements — Quake Live
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.
| Component | Minimum (Steam) | Recommended (Steam) |
|---|---|---|
| OS * | Windows 7 or later | Windows 7 or later |
| Processor | 2 GHz Intel Processor or better | 2 GHz Intel Quad Core Processor or better |
| Memory | 1 GB RAM | 2 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX or better, ATI Radeon 8500 or better, Intel i915 chipset or better 1024x600 resolution | NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series or better, ATI Radeon X1800 series or better 1920x1080 resolution |
| DirectX | Version 9.0 | Version 9.0 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection | Broadband Internet connection |
| Storage | 1 GB available space | 2 GB available space |
| Sound Card | Stereo Soundcard | Stereo Soundcard |
Hardware demand level
Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (integrated graphics). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Quake Live.
