Can I Run Vanquish PC?
Vanquish PC is an action game from PlatinumGames, released in 2017. SEGA published it. It offers a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Cloud saves are enabled. Completionists have 50 achievements to work through. Critics scored it 78 on Metacritic. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Its Steam review count passes 6 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Steam lists support for 6 languages. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17.

Why Vanquish PC is demanding
Vanquish PC is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Dx11 compliant video card target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Vanquish PC. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The DirectX requirement is undemanding, at version 9.0. Vanquish PC takes about 20 GB of disk space. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 1 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Vanquish PC?
Vanquish PC targets a mainstream modern PC: Dx9 compliant video card with 1 GB VRAM (Nvidia GeForce 460 or AMD Radeon 5670) and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Dx11 compliant video card with 2 GB RAM (Nvidia GeForce 660 Ti or AMD Radeon R9 270) for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.7x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.08x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.92x |
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.
