Can I Run Ultimate Chicken Horse?
Ultimate Chicken Horse is an action casual game from Clever Endeavour Games, released in 2016. Clever Endeavour Games both developed and published it. It offers cooperative play. There are 31 achievements to chase. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. With more than 40 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam lists support for 15 languages. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use.

Why Ultimate Chicken Horse is demanding
Ultimate Chicken Horse makes almost no demand of the graphics card. Nearly any machine built in the last decade clears the stated 1024 MB VRAM target. Ultimate Chicken Horse takes about 2 GB of disk space. It targets DirectX 9, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Ultimate Chicken Horse?
Ultimate Chicken Horse is light on hardware. Its minimum, 512 MB VRAM Intel HD 4000 / GeForce 200 Series / Radeon HD 4000 Series, 2 GB RAM, about 2 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: CPU
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.
