Can I Run Dave the Diver PC?
MINTROCKET released Dave the Diver PC in 2023. It is an adventure casual game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Completionists have 43 achievements to work through. Its Metacritic score stands at 90. Its Steam review count passes 139 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. 11 languages are covered by the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in submerged environments, moving through systems the player balances from above. Play is presented in two dimensions. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. There are 16 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Dave the Diver PC is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Dave the Diver PC. NVIDIA GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Dave the Diver PC within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB. Dave the Diver PC needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dave the Diver PC?
Dave the Diver PC targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA Geforce GTS 450 / AMD Radeon HD 5570 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB / AMD RX 480 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 | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.
