Can you run Black Mirror?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Black Mirror targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX660 / Radeon 7870 - 2GB VRAM and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX960 / Radeon R9 290 - 4GB VRAM for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.83x
1440pRuns well1.59x
4KBelow the bar0.71x

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 Black Mirror'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.
