Setting and environment

The game is set in a medieval setting. Play is structured around one on one arenas. The view is from a first person view. 17 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.

Why Mordhau is demanding

The ask Mordhau makes is moderate. NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD equivalent lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Disk footprint is light, near 40 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Mordhau needs 64 bit Windows.

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

Can you run Mordhau?

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

Mordhau targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GTX 680 or AMD equivalent and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD equivalent for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable1.7x
1440pBorderline0.96x
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.

Each card is compared against Mordhau's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
