Setting and environment
Heave Ho is set in a gentle, brightly drawn world. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented in two dimensions.
Why Heave Ho is demanding
Demand in Heave Ho is ordinary. The publisher has GeForce GTX 1080 / Radeon RX Vega 56 / Arc A580 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. DirectX 12 is named, so Heave Ho expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Heave Ho. Heave Ho needs only 8 GB of RAM. Heave Ho takes about 4 GB of disk space. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Heave Ho at the floor and Heave Ho at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Heave Ho?
Heave Ho is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 760 / Radeon R9 270X / Intel UHD Graphics 620, 8 GB RAM, about 4 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 | 1.36x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.34x |
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 | Runs well |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Playable |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |
