Why There Is No Game is demanding
There Is No Game makes almost no demand of the graphics card. Nearly any machine built in the last decade clears the stated Intel HD 4000 target. At 4 GB, system memory is undemanding. There Is No Game takes about 1 GB of disk space. It targets DirectX 10, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run There Is No Game?
There Is No Game is light on hardware. Its minimum, Intel HD 4000, 4 GB RAM, about 0.93 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 | Comfortable | 48.57x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 27.32x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 12.14x |
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.
