Why The King of Fighters XV is demanding
The King of Fighters XV is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear The King of Fighters XV. At 6 GB, VRAM is a non issue for The King of Fighters XV. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means The King of Fighters XV scales hard with the hardware you give it. The King of Fighters XV expects 16 GB of system memory. The install is small at roughly 65 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Older hardware holds up here: The King of Fighters XV runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB 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.

Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.
