Minimum requirements

Likely meets minimum requirements

Likely meets recommended requirements

The publisher lists Feature-level-only requirement (DirectX / OpenGL / memory size, no chip named) (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc 130V GPU: LIKELY. Intel Arc 130V GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. The publisher states 3 GB of video memory and this configuration only has shared/unified memory, so the result is capped at LIKELY.

How this was judged

Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
