Can I Run Insurgency?

New World Interactive released Insurgency in 2018. It is an action game, published by Focus Entertainment. It offers cooperative play. 23 languages are covered by the store listing. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. There are 35 achievements to chase. Its Metacritic score stands at 78. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Over 103 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Its 8 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in a military setting, moving through combat arenas. Play is presented from a first person view. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why Insurgency is demanding

Demand in Insurgency is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980/AMD Radeon R9 390X in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Insurgency takes about 40 GB of disk space, SSD specified. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Insurgency at the floor and Insurgency at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Insurgency needs 64 bit Windows. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Insurgency?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: Insurgency runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760/AMD Radeon HD 7970 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.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable1.73x
1440pBorderline0.98x
4KBelow the bar0.43x

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.
