Can I Run Ground Branch PC?
Released in 2018, Ground Branch PC is an action indie game built by BlackFoot Studios. Publishing duties went to MicroProse Software. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Its Steam review count passes 21 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Ground Branch PC places its action in a military setting, and the player works through tight tactical maps. Play is presented from a first person view. There are 16 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Ground Branch PC is demanding
Ground Branch PC sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD RX Vega-56, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Ground Branch PC takes about 30 GB of disk space. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Ground Branch PC scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Ground Branch PC?
Older hardware holds up here: Ground Branch PC runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7850 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 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 | 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.
