Can I Run Infection?
Infection is an action indie game from Jutsu Games, released in 2024. Games Operators published it. The game supports a single player campaign. There are 33 achievements to chase. Over 16 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Cloud saves are enabled. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a world after its collapse. Play is structured around a base the player builds up. The view is in three dimensions. There are 18 official screenshots to judge the look from. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours.
Why Infection is demanding
The ask Infection makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 15 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Infection?
Infection is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680 / AMD Radeon HD 7970 clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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 Infection'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.
