Can you run BASIC8?

40%

Below the baron a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), system RAM is the tightest fit.

BASIC8 is light on hardware. Its minimum, Intel HD, 0.5 GB RAM, about 0.05 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	48.57x
1440p	Comfortable	27.32x
4K	Comfortable	12.14x

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.
