The checker
Select the closest match for each component. The result compares you with the published minimum and recommended thresholds, then lists what still needs a manual check.
Official specs
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 or 11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-4770 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (4 cores, 8 threads) | Intel Core i5-12400 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6 cores) |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti / AMD RX 560, 4 GB VRAM, Vulkan | NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super / AMD RX 6600, 6 GB VRAM |
| Storage | 3 GB available | 3 GB available |
| Target | 30 fps at 1920×1080, normal speed | 60 fps at 1920×1080, busy colony, 3× speed |
Integrated graphics are not a free pass
Mossbomb says integrated graphics need an AMD Radeon 780M or better with 16 GB RAM. Intel Iris Xe is below the published minimum. A laptop with 16 GB RAM and Iris Xe does not meet the baseline.
How to read the result
Meets the recommended baseline
Your selected OS, RAM, VRAM, CPU and GPU class meet or exceed the published recommended thresholds. The target is 60 fps at 1080p in a busy colony at 3× speed; real performance still varies.
Meets the minimum, below recommended
Your machine clears the published minimum but misses at least one recommended threshold. The target is 30 fps at 1080p at normal speed.
Check the GPU
Your other parts meet a tier, but the GPU class is unverified. Compare your exact model with the published cards and check Vulkan driver support.
Below the published minimum
At least one selected component is below the published minimum. The demo is the cheapest way to test whether the game runs anyway, but do not expect the target frame rate.
The checker deliberately does not ask for a specific CPU or GPU model beyond the published classes. A model-level benchmark needs a hardware database and game-specific test data, neither of which exists publicly for Malignus. The full requirements page has the official notes.
