OS : 64-bit processor and operating system | OS : 64-bit processor and operating system |
Processor : Intel Core i5-4590 or AMD FX 8350 | Processor : Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 |

Graphics : NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 | Graphics : NVIDIA GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 |
As you can see, Mortal Shell is not a light game at all. You need a GTX 1070 or Vega 56 along with an i7 or a Ryzen 7 to play the game at 1080p 60 fps. Also you need 16 GB of RAM if you want to play at high settings. Those are some really high requirements if you ask me.
Update your graphics drivers
Outdated drivers could be the reason of performance loss at times. Here are the links to the latest drivers for AMD and Nvidia graphics cards:
