Can I Run Infestation: The New Z?
Infestation: The New Z is an action indie game from Fredaikis AB, released in 2016. OP Productions LLC published it. The game supports cooperative play. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 69 achievements to work through. The base game is free to play, so trying it costs only disk space and download time.

Why Infestation: The New Z is demanding
Infestation: The New Z is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950, ATI Radeon R7 360 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Infestation: The New Z. It targets DirectX 9.0, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy. Infestation: The New Z needs 64 bit Windows. Infestation: The New Z needs only 6 GB of RAM. Infestation: The New Z takes about 15 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Infestation: The New Z?
Infestation: The New Z targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 465 / ATI Radeon TM HD 6870 and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 950, ATI Radeon™ R7 360 or better for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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.
