Can I Run Cosmic Magus?
Released in 2021, Cosmic Magus is an action casual game built by David Sanhueza. Publishing duties went to SnowFiend Studios. It offers a single player campaign. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It carries 27 achievements. The base game is free to play, so trying it costs only disk space and download time. The game ships for Windows alone.

Setting and environment
Cosmic Magus places its action in a fantasy world, and the player works through runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU. 5 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. The view is from a top down view.
Why Cosmic Magus is demanding
Cosmic Magus is undemanding on the graphics side. Its AMD RX 480 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Cosmic Magus. The install is small at roughly 3 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. It targets DirectX 9.0, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Cosmic Magus?
Older hardware holds up here: Cosmic Magus runs on modest graphics, with AMD RX 480, 4 GB or RX580, 4GB / NVIDIA GTX 970, 4GB, GTX1060, 6GB or better enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
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.

Each card is compared against Cosmic Magus's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
