Can I Run Rage?
Released in 2025, Rage is an adventure indie game built by DON'T NOD. It offers a single player campaign. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. With more than 5 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 49 achievements to work through.

Why Rage is demanding
The graphics demand in Rage is at the top end. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 outscores our RTX 3060 reference, and a machine that clears Rage comfortably will clear most other things. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Rage at the floor and Rage at the recommended tier are not the same experience. It wants 10 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Rage takes about 48 GB of disk space, SSD specified.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Rage?
Rage is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 10 GB or AMD RX 6800XT, 16GB-class graphics card, with GPU supporting DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 is mandatory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 560, 4GB or Intel ARC A380, 6GB the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.64x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.36x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.16x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Playable |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Playable |

| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Playable |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Playable |
Each card is compared against Rage'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.
