Can I Run The Persistence?
Firesprite Ltd released The Persistence in 2020. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It carries 122 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Its Metacritic score stands at 75. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Completionists have 43 achievements to work through. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Steam lists support for 18 languages.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. 9 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Play is presented from a first person view.
Why The Persistence is demanding
The graphics demand in The Persistence is at the top end. NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080Ti outscores our RTX 3060 reference, and a machine that clears The Persistence comfortably will clear most other things. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 5 GB. DirectX 12 is named, so The Persistence expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so The Persistence at the floor and The Persistence at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Persistence?
The Persistence is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080Ti-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750ti the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.6x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.34x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.15x |
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 Persistence'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.
