Can you run Powerless?
Powerless is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a RTX 4090-class graphics card, with GTX 1030 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Borderline on RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. If you are buying today, plan a modest upgrade to the graphics card to be comfortable, otherwise it is worth waiting for a better price or a stronger build.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.44x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.25x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.11x |
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 Powerless'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.
