About

Desolate, released in 2019, is a first-person survival horror game that blends elements of action, adventure, and RPG. Players can form a research team with up to four others or venture into the game's haunting open world solo. Packed with mysteries and challenges, Desolate stands out for its atmospheric environment and the engaging survival mechanics that keep players on their toes.

When it comes to PC performance, Desolate is relatively accessible. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level graphics card scoring around 5364 and a CPU benchmark of approximately 3185, players can expect playable FPS even on modest hardware. To fully experience this game at higher graphics settings, a mid-range GPU will significantly enhance visual fidelity and ensure smoother gameplay, catering to both casual gamers and those seeking optimal performance.

Considering its solid rating of 75/100 and unique genre blend, Desolate is worth playing for fans of survival horror and RPGs. The intriguing gameplay offers hours of exploration and challenges, making it a compelling choice for gamers looking for an engaging experience in a well-crafted world.

Performance profile

January 2019 release. Desolate was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

RPGs like Desolate 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.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Desolate; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
