Why What Remains of Edith Finch is demanding

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run What Remains of Edith Finch?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

What Remains of Edith Finch is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 750/AMD Radeon 7790 or later, 2 GB RAM, about 5 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable6.54x
1440pComfortable3.68x
4KComfortable1.63x

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.
