Can I Run Surviving Isolation?
Surviving isolation is a game about surviving until you're thriving. Take care of yourself while surviving alone on an island (multiplayer features soon hopefully). Fish, cook, eat, drink, befriend ch...

Can you run Surviving Isolation?
Surviving Isolation targets a mainstream modern PC: this would probably help and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GTX 1060 or higher for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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 Surviving Isolation'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.
