Why Century: Age of Ashes is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Century: Age of Ashes. NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD RX 580 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Century: Age of Ashes within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. DirectX 12 is named, so Century: Age of Ashes expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The install is small at roughly 10 GB. Century: Age of Ashes needs only 8 GB of RAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Century: Age of Ashes scales hard with the hardware you give it. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Century: Age of Ashes?
Century: Age of Ashes is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 760 or AMD RX 560, 6 GB RAM, about 10 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 | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.
