Quake Champions generally works with non-Intel processors, but FPU performance is critical. NexGen chips without an FPU will not run the game.

While Cyrix processors may run faster than equivalent Intel chips in general tasks, their FPU is inferior, leading to poorer performance in Quake Champions.

NexGen processors are particularly problematic as they lack an FPU entirely, meaning Quake Champions will not run on them. While an FPU emulator can be used, the resulting performance is very poor.

Tips
  • Ensure your non-Intel processor has a capable FPU for optimal Quake Champions performance.
  • Avoid NexGen processors if you intend to play Quake Champions, as they lack the necessary FPU.
  • Consider FPU emulator performance carefully if it's your only option, but expect significantly reduced frame rates.
