Can you run ZIQ?

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

Older hardware holds up here: ZIQ runs on modest graphics, with Radeon RX 480 enough to meet the minimum. Add 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: CPU

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.
