Can I Run Gloomhaven?
Released in 2021, Gloomhaven is an adventure role playing game built by Flaming Fowl Studios. Publishing duties went to Twin Sails Interactive. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. 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. 5 languages are covered by the store listing. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Metacritic places it at 82. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. With more than 13 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. There are 61 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Gloomhaven places its action in a bleak fantasy world, and the player works through a board the player reads before committing. The view is in three dimensions. The publisher supplies 15 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Gloomhaven is demanding
Gloomhaven sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting GeForce GTX 1070, Radeon RX Vega 64, or above, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Disk footprint is light, near 14 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Gloomhaven scales hard with the hardware you give it. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Gloomhaven?
Gloomhaven is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 760, Radeon R9 280, or above, 8 GB RAM, about 14 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Runs well |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Playable |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs great |

| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Runs great |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs great |
Each card is compared against Gloomhaven'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.
