Martha is Dead needs 64 bit Windows. Martha is Dead takes about 30 GB of disk space, SSD specified.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Martha is Dead?
Martha is Dead targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia GTX 670 or AMD R9 270X and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 5500 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 | 1.79x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.01x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.45x |
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.
