Can I Run Strider?
Strider is an action adventure game from Double Helix Games, released in 2014. Capcom published it. The game supports a single player campaign. It carries 30 achievements. Metacritic places it at 78. Cloud saves are enabled. The game ships for Windows alone. It is localised into 6 languages according to the store listing. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Over 2 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
Strider places its action in a deliberately retro presentation, and the player works through platforming routes. Play is presented from a side on view. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Strider is demanding
Strider is undemanding on the graphics side. Its ATI Radeon HD 5770 / GeForce GTX 460 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 / Radeon (TM) RX 460 Series target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Strider. Strider needs only 8 GB of RAM. DirectX 12 is named, so Strider expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Strider names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. Disk footprint is light, near 4 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Strider?
Strider is light on hardware. Its minimum, ATI Radeon HD 5770 / GeForce GTX 460 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 / Radeon (TM) RX 460 Series or higher, 8 GB RAM, about 3.61 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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 Strider'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.
