Can the HP Envy 16 (2023) run Project Zomboid?
Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum 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 A370M: LIKELY. Intel Arc A370M is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1. The publisher states 4 GB of video memory and this GPU's video memory is not recorded, so the result is capped at LIKELY. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060: PASS. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is tier 6; the requirement is tier 1.

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.
