Can I Run Bitcoin?
Ok this is pretty geeky and may not be for all but we think it`s cool, the first VR bitcoin block explorer! Ever wanted to see real time bitcoin transaction in VR? Ever wanted to prune the blockcha...

Can you run Bitcoin?
Free up space before installing Bitcoin: it needs roughly 100 GB of HDD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, Nvidia 970 and 4 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Bitcoin needs about 100 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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 Bitcoin'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.
