Setting and environment
In Sound Mind places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through self contained puzzle rooms. 13 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. The view is from a first person view.
Why In Sound Mind is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by In Sound Mind. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 480 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting In Sound Mind within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 20 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means In Sound Mind 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 In Sound Mind?
In Sound Mind is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R9 280, 8 GB RAM, about 20 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 | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.
