Setting and environment
Broken Pieces places its action in a mystery to unpick, and the player works through self contained puzzle rooms. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Play is presented from a third person view.
Why Broken Pieces is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Broken Pieces. 4 GB, GeForce GeForce GTX 970 / GTX 1060 / Radeon R9 390 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Broken Pieces within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Broken Pieces at the floor and Broken Pieces at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Disk footprint is light, near 23 GB. Broken Pieces needs only 8 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Broken Pieces?
Broken Pieces is light on hardware. Its minimum, 3 GB, GeForce GTX 1050 (Legacy GPU: GeForce GTX 660) / Radeon R7 370, 8 GB RAM, about 23 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 | 2.18x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.23x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.54x |
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.
