Can you run Lightwire?

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

Lightwire is light on hardware. Its minimum, AMD or NVIDIA videocard with at least 512MB, or Intel HD Graphics, 2 GB RAM, about 0.5 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: RAM

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable48.57x
1440pComfortable27.32x
4KComfortable12.14x

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.
