Can I Run Fade to Silence?
Black Forest Games released Fade to Silence in 2019. It is a role playing game, published by THQ Nordic. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Its Metacritic score stands at 57. There are 45 achievements to chase. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone. Over 1 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Why Fade to Silence is demanding
Fade to Silence is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Fade to Silence. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Fade to Silence scales hard with the hardware you give it. The install is small at roughly 30 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Fade to Silence?
Older hardware holds up here: Fade to Silence runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R9 270 (2gb or more) enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 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 | 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.
