Can I Run Pax Dei?
Pax Dei is an action adventure game from Mainframe Industries, released in 2025. Mainframe Industries both developed and published it. It offers cooperative play. It is localised into 5 languages according to the store listing. Its Steam review count passes 7 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. The game ships for Windows alone.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through one continuous open world. There are 14 official screenshots to judge the look from. Play is presented from a third person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Pax Dei can never assume the player will stop and let it load.
Why Pax Dei is demanding
The ask Pax Dei makes is moderate. GeForce RTX 3060 / Radeon RX 6600 XT | VRAM lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Pax Dei calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Pax Dei at the floor and Pax Dei at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Pax Dei asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed. The install is small at roughly 80 GB, on an SSD. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Pax Dei?
Video memory is the deciding factor for Pax Dei: it calls for around 12 GB of VRAM, so a fast card with too little memory will hitch where a slower card with more will not. GeForce RTX 2060 (12 GB) / Radeon RX 5700 XT | VRAM: 8 GB mini covers the minimum; the CPU and RAM asks are ordinary by comparison.
Bottleneck: CPU
Large install. Pax Dei needs about 80 GB of SSD of free storage.
High VRAM. Pax Dei calls for more than 8 GB of video memory (12 GB); cards with less will struggle.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.56x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.25x |
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 Pax Dei'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.
