Can I Run The Eternal Cylinder?
ACE Team released The Eternal Cylinder in 2022. It is an action adventure game, published by Good Shepherd Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Metacritic places it at 79. It is localised into 8 languages according to the store listing. It carries 12 achievements. Cloud saves are enabled. The game ships for Windows alone. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Setting and environment
The Eternal Cylinder places its action in a gentle, brightly drawn world, and the player works through one continuous open world. Play is presented from a third person view. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and The Eternal Cylinder has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why The Eternal Cylinder is demanding
Demand in The Eternal Cylinder is ordinary. The publisher has Nvidia GTX 1070 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so The Eternal Cylinder at the floor and The Eternal Cylinder at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 9 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Eternal Cylinder?
The Eternal Cylinder is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GTX 770, 8 GB RAM, about 8 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
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 The Eternal Cylinder'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.
