Can I Run Project Hospital?
Released in 2018, Project Hospital is an indie simulation game built by Oxymoron Games. The game supports a single player campaign. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. With more than 8 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Its 8 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Critics scored it 75 on Metacritic. There are 61 achievements to chase. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. It is localised into 19 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through systems the player balances from above. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours. It is played in two dimensions. There are 14 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Project Hospital is demanding
Project Hospital is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, AMD Radeon RX 460 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Project Hospital. Project Hospital takes about 1 GB of disk space. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Project Hospital at the floor and Project Hospital at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Project Hospital?
Project Hospital is light on hardware. Its minimum, Integrated Intel HD 4000, 4 GB RAM, about 1 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 | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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 Project Hospital'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.
