Can you run The Balloonist: Beyond the Clouds?
The Balloonist: Beyond the Clouds targets a mainstream modern PC: ATI Radeon 4870/5770/6770 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 260/460/550 Ti and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to ATI Radeon 7870/R9 270 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti/760 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 | 3.7x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.08x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.92x |
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.
