About

Dark (2013) is a stealth-action RPG that casts you as a vampire navigating a world of shadows and danger. The game blends supernatural vampire abilities with tactical ambush gameplay, requiring you to hunt enemies from the darkness while managing the constant threat of becoming prey yourself. It's a unique take on the action RPG genre that emphasizes stealth and strategy over pure combat.

Dark runs well on modest hardware, making it highly accessible for budget-conscious gamers. The minimum GPU requirement sits at entry-level performance with a benchmark score around 303, and just 2 GB of RAM is needed to play. You can expect solid FPS performance on older or lower-tier GPUs, and the game's relatively undemanding nature means high refresh rates are achievable even on mid-range graphics cards from a decade ago.

With a 40/100 rating, Dark is a mixed experience that appeals primarily to stealth and vampire enthusiasts rather than mainstream audiences. If you enjoy tactical sneaking mechanics and don't mind lower critical reception, it's worth testing with our FPS benchmarks to see how your system performs on this lightweight title.

Performance profile

Released in July 2013, Dark sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

RPGs like Dark stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Dark runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
