Can I Run Devour?
Devour is an indie game from Straight Back Games, released in 2021. Straight Back Games both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Its Steam review count passes 68 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Cloud saves are enabled. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Steam lists support for 23 languages. There are 131 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through hostile territory. It is played from a first person view. The publisher supplies 19 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Devour is demanding
The graphics requirement for Devour is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 or greater is enough, so Devour runs on machines never bought for gaming. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Devour?
Older hardware holds up here: Devour runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 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 | 2.58x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.45x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.64x |
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 Devour'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.
