Can I Run Age of Wonders?
Triumph Studios released Age of Wonders in 2023. It is a role playing strategy game, published by Paradox Interactive. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Completionists have 114 achievements to work through. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Its Steam review count passes 16 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. 9 languages are covered by the store listing.

Why Age of Wonders is demanding
Demand in Age of Wonders is ordinary. The publisher has Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ( in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Age of Wonders takes about 35 GB of disk space. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Age of Wonders scales hard with the hardware you give it. DirectX 12 is named, so Age of Wonders expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Age of Wonders needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Age of Wonders?
Older hardware holds up here: Age of Wonders runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 670 (2GB) or AMD® Radeon™ HD 7870 (2GB) or Intel® Arc™ A380 (6GB) or Intel® Iris™ Xe G7 (Tiger Lake) or AMD® Radeon™ Vega 8 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 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 | Runs well | 1.17x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.66x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.29x |
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 Age of Wonders'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.
