Can you run The Book of Distance?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

The Book of Distance is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pRuns well1.31x
1440pBelow the bar0.74x
4KBelow the bar0.33x

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.
