Can I Run Terminator: Resistance?
Terminator: Resistance is an action adventure game from Teyon, released in 2019. Reef Entertainment published it. It offers a single player campaign. Completionists have 36 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Its 7 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Its Steam review count passes 16 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. Terminator: Resistance has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. The publisher supplies 18 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a first person view.
Why Terminator: Resistance is demanding
Demand in Terminator: Resistance is ordinary. The publisher has Nvidia GTX 1070/AMD RX 590 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Disk footprint is light, near 32 GB. Terminator: Resistance needs 64 bit Windows. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Terminator: Resistance at the floor and Terminator: Resistance at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Terminator: Resistance?
Older hardware holds up here: Terminator: Resistance runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GTX 1050/AMD RX 560 or better 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 | Comfortable | 1.73x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.98x |
| 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 Terminator: Resistance'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.
