Can I Run Crystal Call?

SMU Guildhall released Crystal Call in 2021. It is an action game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Entry is free, which makes the disk requirement the only real barrier. Completionists have 36 achievements to work through.

Setting and environment

The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around platforming routes. Play is presented in three dimensions. 8 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.

Why Crystal Call is demanding

Demand in Crystal Call is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GTX 980 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Crystal Call expects 16 GB of system memory. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The install is small at roughly 4 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Crystal Call at the floor and Crystal Call at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 4 GB, so on Crystal Call the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does.

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

Can you run Crystal Call?

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

Crystal Call leans on the processor more than the graphics card, its minimum CPU, a Intel i5-6600K, AMD 1600X or better, is what most builds trip over. A strong multi-core CPU paired with a mid-range card is the right shape here, the minimum GPU is a NVIDIA GTX 770; AMD Radeon 6950 HD; AMD Vega 8 IGP (Intel IGP not supported); 4GB VRAM or better, not a top-end GPU.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable1.73x
1440pBorderline0.98x
4KBelow the bar0.43x

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.
