Can I Run Sacrifice?
Sacrifice is an action adventure game from Ninja Theory, released in 2017. Ninja Theory both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic. With more than 66 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. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. At 9 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Completionists have 14 achievements to work through. Steam lists support for 20 languages. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Sacrifice places its action in a mythological world, and the player works through environments built to be read rather than fought through. The publisher supplies 11 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented from a third person view.
Why Sacrifice is demanding
Sacrifice is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GTX 770 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Sacrifice. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 2 GB. Sacrifice takes about 30 GB of disk space. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Sacrifice?
Older hardware holds up here: Sacrifice runs on modest graphics, with GTX 770 with 2GB VRAM / Radeon R9 280X 3GB 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 | Comfortable | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
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 Sacrifice'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.
