Setting and environment

The game is set in an investigation. Play is structured around one continuous open world. The view is from a first person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Contraband Police can never assume the player will stop and let it load. There are 10 official screenshots to judge the look from.

Why Contraband Police is demanding

Demand in Contraband Police is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 ( in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Contraband Police at the floor and Contraband Police at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Contraband Police takes about 12 GB of disk space. At only 6 GB of VRAM, memory capacity is not what limits Contraband Police. The chip itself is. Contraband Police needs 64 bit Windows. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Contraband Police?

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

Older hardware holds up here: Contraband Police runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD RX 560 (3GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better) enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pRuns well1.21x
1440pBelow the bar0.68x
4KBelow the bar0.3x

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.
