Can I Run Anno 1800?
Ubisoft Mainz released Anno 1800 in 2019. It is a simulation strategy game, published by Ubisoft. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. There are 112 achievements to chase. Critics scored it 81 on Metacritic. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 29 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Anno 1800 places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through a city the player lays out. There are 19 official screenshots to judge the look from. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one.
Why Anno 1800 is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Anno 1800. NVIDIA GeForce 970 GTX or AMD Radeon RX 480 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Anno 1800 within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Anno 1800 needs only 4 GB of video memory. Disk footprint is light, near 60 GB. Anno 1800 needs 64 bit Windows. Anno 1800 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Anno 1800?
Anno 1800 targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce 670 GTX or AMD Radeon R9 285 (2 GB of VRAM, Shader Model 5.0) and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce 970 GTX or AMD Radeon RX 480 (4 GB of VRAM, Shader Model 5.1) 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 | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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 Anno 1800'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.
