Maybe share your specs so we can tell?

If you can only run Elden Ring at the lowest I doubt it this game is very demanding.

maybe compare your system with the minimal system requirements or get your rig tested n a site like "can I run this game"...

I have a PC that's around 6 years old but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to play the games that come out in 2025 at ultra-specs. Age says absolutely nothing about whether you can or can't do anything...

He could play at locked 30 FPS with fast-sync turned on and ultra low latency mode, since the game is turn based RPG not esport fps ♥♥♥♥

Probably, I can run it on a mini PC with i5 11320h with Intel Iris Xe graphics. I only get around 20 - 30 fps though.

My PC is ancient. 4th generation i7 CPU and a 1050 Ti, only 16GB DDR3 RAM. I can run the game on medium settings with some stuttering in busy areas.

for your future endeavors in regard to these kinds of questions run DxDiag; it will give you a good idea on whether you will be able to run something or not

Nice question!

If you're asking if you "can run the game on a potato" then no: potatoes have very poor mathematical capabilities and almost all lack even an HDMI port (source: had potatoes the other day, none (!) had any form of connectable ports) so even if you'd be able to use said potato you couldn't connect it to a monitor. A potato is really a poor choice for computational tasks, all things considered.

If you're asking if you can literally run on a potato then that depends on your size and weight; assuming you are a human you will most likely crush almost all potatoes if you just step on them. And most potatoes are simply too small to run on them, you won't get very far. (things might be different if you are the size of, say, an underpants gnome, but that is of course just hypothetical.)

Hope that answers both possibilities for you. :2017stickydrink:

If you don't know much about PCs, you probably have not turned on the highest performance for your graphics card too (if you have nvidia).

You see, PC brands are so trash they will sell you something without telling you that it's not running on it's max speed on default.

Depending on your settings and resolution (and i guess expectations ) this game is plenty demanding.

Way more demanding than Elden Ring actually . Mostly because ER has 60 fps lock so GPU can mostly just chill in ER.
