Can you run Starlight: Eye of the Storm?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Starlight: Eye of the Storm targets a mainstream modern PC: ATI R7 250 or GeForce GTI 940MX or similar card that supports shader v3.0 with at least 1GB of VRAM and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to ATI Radeon RX 580 or GeForce GTX 1650 and above that supports shader v3.0 with at least 2GB of dedicated VRAM for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.24x
1440pRuns well1.26x
4KBelow the bar0.56x

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.
