Can I Run DUSK '82?
DUSK '82 is an adventure casual game from David Szymanski, released in 2021. New Blood Interactive published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. With only 374 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. There are 14 achievements to chase.

Why DUSK '82 is demanding
DUSK '82 asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets NVIDIA RTX 3090 FTW, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so DUSK '82 tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying DUSK '82. DUSK '82 needs only 1 GB of RAM. DUSK '82 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. DUSK '82 takes about 0 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run DUSK '82?
DUSK '82 is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA RTX 3090 FTW-class graphics card, with Any made within the last decade the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: CPU
Borderline on RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. If you are buying today, plan a modest upgrade to the processor to be comfortable, otherwise it is worth waiting for a better price or a stronger build.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.58x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.32x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.14x |
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.

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
