Can I Run Teardown?
Tuxedo Labs released Teardown in 2022. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Completionists have 27 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled. Critics scored it 80 on Metacritic. Over 124 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. 9 languages are covered by the store listing.

Why Teardown is demanding
Teardown sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Disk footprint is light, near 12 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Teardown at the floor and Teardown at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Teardown names just 4 GB of video memory, so the bottleneck sits in raw GPU throughput rather than VRAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Teardown?
Teardown targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or similar. 4 Gb VRAM. and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or similar. 4 Gb VRAM. 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 | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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.
