Can I Run Cube Universe?
Cube Universe is an indie role playing game from Beosar, released in 2018. Beosar both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It carries 21 achievements. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Its 8 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Setting and environment
Cube Universe places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. Cube Universe has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. 9 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Cube Universe is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Cube Universe. 1080p: NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 | 4K: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6700-XT scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Cube Universe within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 2 GB. System memory is unusually high at 32 GB, so a 16 GB machine needs an upgrade even with a strong graphics card. The install is small at roughly 2 GB, on an SSD.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Cube Universe?
Cube Universe leans on the processor more than the graphics card, its minimum CPU, a Intel® Core™ i7-3770 / AMD® FX-8350, 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™ 660 / AMD® Radeon™ HD 7850 (min 2 GB VRAM), not a top-end GPU.
Bottleneck: RAM
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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 Cube Universe'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.
