Why Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or over, AMD Radeon RX 570 or over, 1920x1080 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water at the floor and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water takes about 25 GB of disk space. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water needs only 8 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.83x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.59x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.71x |
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.
