Setting and environment
Ashes of Creation structures its play around spaces built for exploration. The view is in three dimensions. There are 6 official screenshots to judge the look from. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Ashes of Creation can never assume the player will stop and let it load.
Why Ashes of Creation is demanding
Ashes of Creation is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA RTX 3070 target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Ashes of Creation properly. DirectX 12 is named, so Ashes of Creation expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Installation is large at roughly 150 GB, and an SSD is specified rather than suggested. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Ashes of Creation at the floor and Ashes of Creation at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Ashes of Creation?
Ashes of Creation is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA RTX 3070 or equivalent-class graphics card, with Discrete NVIDIA GTX 1070 or equivalent (Integrated GPU is not supported) the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Ashes of Creation needs about 150 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
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.
