Can I Run Age of Wonders 4?
Triumph Studios released Age of Wonders 4 in 2023. It is a role playing strategy game, published by Paradox Interactive. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Its Steam review count passes 16 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. 9 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 114 achievements to work through. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Why Age of Wonders 4 is demanding
Age of Wonders 4 sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Disk footprint is light, near 35 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Age of Wonders 4 at the floor and Age of Wonders 4 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Age of Wonders 4 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Age of Wonders 4 needs 64 bit Windows. Age of Wonders 4 asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Age of Wonders 4?
Older hardware holds up here: Age of Wonders 4 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.

| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |

Each card is compared against Age of Wonders 4'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.
