Why By My Side is demanding
The ask By My Side makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so By My Side at the floor and By My Side at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying By My Side. By My Side takes about 4 GB of disk space, SSD specified.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run By My Side?
By My Side targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GTX 1060 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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.
