Can I Run Old World?
Released in 2022, Old World is a role playing simulation game built by Mohawk Games. Publishing duties went to Hooded Horse. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Metacritic places it at 80. There are 408 achievements to chase. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. With more than 5 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too.

Why Old World is demanding
Old World sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Old World calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Old World at the floor and Old World at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 10 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 6 GB, so on Old World the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Old World?
Old World is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750 (2 GB) / AMD® Radeon™ HD 7950 (3 GB), 8 GB RAM, about 10 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 | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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 Old World'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.
