Can you run Dark Existence?
Dark Existence targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 930 or AMD Radeon™ R7 350 and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon™ RX 460 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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 Dark Existence'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.
