Can I Run Cattle and Crops?

Cattle and Crops is a casual indie game from Masterbrain Bytes, released in 2020. Masterbrain Bytes both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It is not Windows only, with Linux covered too. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. It is localised into 8 languages according to the store listing. It carries 22 achievements. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Why Cattle and Crops is demanding

Demand in Cattle and Crops is ordinary. The publisher has GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon 5600 XT ( in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The 8 GB VRAM figure quietly excludes a lot of 6 GB hardware that would otherwise cope. The install is small at roughly 10 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Cattle and Crops at the floor and Cattle and Crops at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Cattle and Crops 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 Cattle and Crops?

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

Cattle and Crops is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 760 / AMD Radeon 550 RX or above (with 2 GB VRAM or above), 4 GB RAM, about 7 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pRuns well1.31x
1440pBelow the bar0.74x
4KBelow the bar0.33x

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.
