Can I Run Aces in the Dust?
Released in 2021, Aces in the Dust is an action adventure game built by DUV Studios. Publishing duties went to ESAT. The game supports a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Entry is free, which makes the disk requirement the only real barrier. Completionists have 22 achievements to work through. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a wartime setting, moving through combat arenas. It is played from a third person view. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Aces in the Dust is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Aces in the Dust. NVDIA GeForce GTX 960 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Aces in the Dust within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Aces in the Dust needs only 2 GB of RAM. DirectX 12 is named, so Aces in the Dust expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Disk footprint is light, near 2 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Aces in the Dust?
Aces in the Dust targets a mainstream modern PC: NVDIA GeForce GTX 660 and 1 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVDIA GeForce GTX 960 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.83x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.59x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.71x |
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.
