Check your PC
Choose the operating system you use and your exact CPU and GPU models from the suggestions. Desktop and laptop graphics cards with similar names can perform differently, so select the right variant. The result compares those three choices with the published minimum and recommended hardware; it does not inspect your computer. If your model is not in the list, use the official table below to compare manually. A missing list entry is not a failed PC.
Minimum and recommended requirements
Both official tiers are for Windows 11. The recommended list changes the CPU, GPU and RAM; it does not introduce another supported operating system. These are the developer's published requirements, not a measured frame-rate promise.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 11, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, or equivalent performance | Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT, or equivalent performance |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | 32 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 1070 or AMD RX 590, or equivalent performance | NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, or equivalent performance |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection | Broadband Internet connection |
| Storage | No amount published on Steam | No amount published on Steam |
Epic's Windows listing names the same CPU, GPU, RAM, OS and DirectX anchors, but labels storage TBD. Steam specifies a 64-bit system and broadband connection, while Epic does not display those two fields. Neither page supplies an install-size figure, required VRAM, SSD condition, resolution, graphics preset or FPS target. The Steam minimum also notes that the requirements may change during development and optimization, so recheck the listing before a later purchase or installation.
What your result means
The comparison gives one of four practical results for the selected Windows system, CPU and GPU. A stronger processor does not cancel out a weaker graphics card: the limiting part matters.
| Result | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Cannot Run | The selected operating system is not a published native Windows option, or the CPU/GPU is substantially below the minimum comparison point. This is not a measured launch attempt; check the limiting item against the official minimum before buying. |
| Barely Playable | Windows is supported, but at least one selected processor or graphics card falls just below the minimum comparison point. You may be able to start the game, but smooth play is not something this result can promise. |
| Playable | Your selected system, CPU and GPU meet the minimum comparison point, but do not all reach the recommended tier. Check the separate 16 GB RAM, DirectX 12 and broadband requirements before assuming the whole PC is ready. |
| Recommended | Your selected system, CPU and GPU meet the recommended comparison points. You still need 32 GB RAM for the developer's recommended memory tier, plus DirectX 12 and broadband. No official FPS target accompanies this tier. |
How it works
The check uses the operating system and exact CPU/GPU models you select, then compares each hardware category with the game's official minimum and recommended reference models. It uses a curated local list of common processors and graphics cards, including desktop and laptop variants; the weaker relevant part sets the practical result rather than averaging strengths together. This is a requirements comparison, not a benchmark of your individual PC or a prediction of a particular frame rate.
Only models offered in the selection list can be submitted. If yours is absent, that says the model is not in this comparison list—not that it fails the game. Compare its published specifications and performance with the minimum or recommended models above. If the check gives you a result, still verify the conditions it cannot read from your selection: your installed RAM, DirectX support and network access.
Before You Buy or Install
Check 16 GB RAM for the minimum or 32 GB for the recommended tier in your system information; available disk space is a different measurement. Neither official store publishes how much disk space Marked For Mayhem will require yet, so there is no responsible number to reserve today. Wait for a stated installation size before making a tight storage decision. Confirm Windows 11, DirectX 12 and broadband access as well, especially if your CPU/GPU comparison looks favorable.
The full game is not currently for sale. The price and purchase status will matter when a priced product appears; a configuration result alone does not reserve access or establish how the game will perform on your machine.
