Can you run S.U.B.?

80%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the processor is the tightest fit.

S.U.B. scales across a wide range of hardware. GeForce GTX 1660 6GB / RX 5500 XT 6GB is enough to get in at minimum settings, while Geforce RTX 3070 8GB / RX 6700 XT 8GB and 12 GB of RAM is what it recommends for a smoother experience. Where you land mostly comes down to the settings you're willing to trade.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pBelow the bar0.79x
1440pBelow the bar0.44x
4KBelow the bar0.2x

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.U.B.'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.
