Can I Run Heavy Dreams?
The year is 2060. You go into your attic, and you find an old laptop. Ancient stuff, maybe 2010s. Out of curiosity, you plug it in to see what happens, and to your shock, it works! You decide to explo...

Can you run Heavy Dreams?
Older hardware holds up here: Heavy Dreams runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB or equivalent 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.

Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.

Each card is compared against Heavy Dreams'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.
