Setting and environment
The game is set in a science fiction setting. Play is structured around enclosed arenas. The publisher supplies 5 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a first person view.
Why Quake Champions is demanding
The ask Quake Champions makes is moderate. Nvidia GTX 1080 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Quake Champions scales hard with the hardware you give it. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. Disk footprint is light, near 35 GB on an SSD.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Quake Champions?
Older hardware holds up here: Quake Champions runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GT 730 2 GB / AMD R7 240 2 GB / Intel HD 530 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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 Quake Champions'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.
