Can you run Dreadful Wake?

82%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), system RAM is the tightest fit.

Dreadful Wake is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a RTX 3070-class graphics card, with GTX 970 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.

Bottleneck: RAM

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pBelow the bar0.77x
1440pBelow the bar0.43x
4KBelow the bar0.19x

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.
