Can I Run Jagged Alliance 3?
Released in 2023, Jagged Alliance 3 is an action strategy game built by Haemimont Games. Publishing duties went to THQ Nordic. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Completionists have 50 achievements to work through. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Critics scored it 81 on Metacritic. Its Steam review count passes 10 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Jagged Alliance 3 places its action in a military setting, and the player works through tight tactical maps. The view is from an isometric view. The publisher supplies 9 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Jagged Alliance 3 is demanding
The ask Jagged Alliance 3 makes is moderate. NVIDIA RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon 6700 XT lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Jagged Alliance 3 at the floor and Jagged Alliance 3 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Jagged Alliance 3 takes about 20 GB of disk space. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Jagged Alliance 3 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Jagged Alliance 3 asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Jagged Alliance 3?
Jagged Alliance 3 is light on hardware. Its minimum, DirectX12 compatible card with 2GB of VRAM, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 950 or AMD Radeon R7 370 with 2GB of VRAM, 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 | Borderline | 1.03x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.58x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.26x |
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.
