Why The Sinking City 2 is demanding
The graphics demand in The Sinking City 2 is at the top end. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | AMD RX7900XT outscores our RTX 3060 reference, and a machine that clears The Sinking City 2 comfortably will clear most other things. The Sinking City 2 wants 12 GB of video memory, which is the number that will exclude otherwise capable cards. The Sinking City 2 asks for 32 GB of system RAM, which is above what most machines ship with today. The Sinking City 2 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The Sinking City 2 takes about 70 GB of disk space. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so The Sinking City 2 at the floor and The Sinking City 2 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The Sinking City 2 names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Sinking City 2?
The Sinking City 2 is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | AMD RX7900XT, 12GB VRAM-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | AMD RX 5700, 8GB VRAM the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: RAM
Borderline on RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. If you are buying today, plan a modest upgrade to system RAM to be comfortable, otherwise it is worth waiting for a better price or a stronger build.
Large install. The Sinking City 2 needs about 70 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.54x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.3x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.13x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Playable |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Playable |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Playable |

Each card is compared against The Sinking City 2'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.
