Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun needs only 8 GB of RAM. Disk footprint is light, near 5 GB. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 3 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun?
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun targets a mainstream modern PC: 1 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon HD 7770 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to 3 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon RX 580 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 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 | 2.39x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.35x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.6x |
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.
