Setting and environment
The game is set in a world after its collapse. Play is structured around one continuous open world. The view is from a third person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Ashes of Oahu can never assume the player will stop and let it load. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Ashes of Oahu is demanding
The graphics requirement for Ashes of Oahu is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD R9 290X ( is enough, so Ashes of Oahu runs on machines never bought for gaming. Ashes of Oahu needs only 4 GB of video memory. Ashes of Oahu takes about 22 GB of disk space. Ashes of Oahu needs only 8 GB of RAM. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Ashes of Oahu at the floor and Ashes of Oahu 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 Oahu?
Ashes of Oahu is light on hardware. Its minimum, VIDIA GeForce GTX 670 or AMD R9 270 (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better), 8 GB RAM, about 22 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.
