For your own PC: enter your graphics card and processor under Will it run on my PC? and you get the estimated FPS at every resolution and quality, with or without upscaling. Hardware you already entered on this site is filled in automatically.

Squad is limited by the processor in big battles or large late-game saves with many units, buildings or objects: there the real FPS can be much lower than the estimate above, which reflects a normal scene.

Online game: real FPS vary with region, server load and how many players are around you (towns, raids, sieges), so expect more spread than in single-player games.
