Can I Run The Guild 3?
The Guild 3 is a role playing simulation game from Purple Lamp, released in 2022. THQ Nordic published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Cloud saves are enabled. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. There are 26 achievements to chase. With more than 7 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. Critics scored it 65 on Metacritic. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a medieval setting. Play is structured around one continuous open world. 19 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. That openness is what costs performance. The Guild 3 has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why The Guild 3 is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by The Guild 3. Dedicated GPU scores low against the RTX 3060, putting The Guild 3 within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The Guild 3 takes about 8 GB of disk space. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Guild 3?
Older hardware holds up here: The Guild 3 runs on modest graphics, with Dedicated GPU with 4 GB (GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX570) 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 | 2.7x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.52x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.67x |
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 Guild 3'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.
