Can I Run I See Red?
Whiteboard Games released I See Red in 2022. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Its 106 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 39 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a cyberpunk future. Play is structured around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Generating a fresh layout every run is processor work, so a weak CPU shows up as a pause between areas. It is played in three dimensions. 13 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why I See Red is demanding
The graphics requirement for I See Red is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GTX 1660 / AMD RX 580 is enough, so I See Red runs on machines never bought for gaming. Disk footprint is light, near 13 GB. DirectX 12 is named, so I See Red expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so I See Red at the floor and I See Red at the recommended tier are not the same experience. System memory expectations are modest at 12 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run I See Red?
I See Red is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 960 / AMD RX 550, 8 GB RAM, about 13 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 | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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 I See Red'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.
