Can you run S.E.A.?

97%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Free up space before installing S.E.A.: it needs roughly 100 GB of HDD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 270 and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.

Bottleneck: GPU

Large install. S.E.A. needs about 100 GB of HDD of free storage.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pBorderline0.92x
1440pBelow the bar0.52x
4KBelow the bar0.23x

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 S.E.A.'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.
