As an open world adventure game, Saints Row has a lot going on at a given time, and this is where you're most likely to lose performance as the game needs to constantly simulate a wide area. There are also a lot of performance issues as reported in our Saints Row review, so weaker systems may suffer a lot until some of those issues are fixed. Here are the minimum and recommended requirements that your hardware should meet if you hope to get steady performance.
