Can you run Story?
Story leans on the processor more than the graphics card, its minimum CPU, a Intel Core i5-8400 /AMD Ryzen5 3600, is what most builds trip over. A strong multi-core CPU paired with a mid-range card is the right shape here, the minimum GPU is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 [4 GB] / AMD Radeon RX 580 [8 GB] /Intel Arc A580 [8 GB], not a top-end GPU.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.14x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.64x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.29x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Meets minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Borderline |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Meets minimum |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Meets minimum |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Meets minimum |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Meets minimum |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Meets minimum |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Meets minimum |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Meets minimum |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Meets minimum |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Meets minimum |
Each card is compared against Story'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.
