Can I Run Saints Row?
Volition released Saints Row in 2023. It is an action adventure game, published by Deep Silver. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Completionists have 64 achievements to work through. With more than 5 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
Saints Row places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through one continuous open world. Play is presented from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Saints Row has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Saints Row is demanding
Saints Row asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets GeForce RTX 3080TI / AMD Radeon RX 6800XT, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so Saints Row tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. Saints Row expects 16 GB of system memory. Disk footprint is light, near 50 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Saints Row calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Saints Row scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Saints Row?
Saints Row is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a GeForce RTX 3080TI / AMD Radeon RX 6800XT-class graphics card, with GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon RX 480 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 | 0.62x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.35x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.15x |
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 Saints Row'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.
