Can I Run 171?

Released in 2022, 171 is an action adventure game built by Betagames Group. It offers a single player campaign. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through one continuous open world. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and 171 can never assume the player will stop and let it load. It is played from a third person view. The publisher supplies 9 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why 171 is demanding

171 sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia GTX 1070, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The install is small at roughly 17 GB, on an SSD. 171 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so 171 at the floor and 171 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. 171 needs 64 bit Windows.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run 171?

100%

Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: 171 runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GTX 1050 2GB / AMD RX 560 2GB enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	1.73x
1440p	Borderline	0.98x
4K	Below the bar	0.43x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against 171's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
