Setting and environment

Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through a base the player builds up. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours. The view is in three dimensions. 8 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.

Why Ashes of the Singularity is demanding

Ashes of the Singularity is a heavy title. Its AMD 6750 XT target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Ashes of the Singularity properly. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Ashes of the Singularity takes about 50 GB of disk space, SSD specified. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Ashes of the Singularity scales hard with the hardware you give it. DirectX 12 is named, so Ashes of the Singularity expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Ashes of the Singularity?

91%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Ashes of the Singularity is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a AMD 6750 XT 8GB / NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB or better-class graphics card, with AMD RX 580 8GB or better / NVIDIA GTX 1660 (6GB) or better the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pBelow the bar0.77x
1440pBelow the bar0.43x
4KBelow the bar0.19x

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.
