Can I Run Synthetik 2?
Flow Fire Games released Synthetik 2 in 2021. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. Completionists have 35 achievements to work through. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Cloud saves are enabled.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a science fiction setting, moving through runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. It is played from a top down view. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Synthetik 2 is demanding
Demand in Synthetik 2 is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super, newer is better in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Disk footprint is light, near 9 GB. Synthetik 2 needs only 8 GB of RAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Synthetik 2 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 Synthetik 2?
Older hardware holds up here: Synthetik 2 runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GTX 970 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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 Synthetik 2'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.
