About

Metalworking, released in 2021, is an indie simulator that invites players to dive into the world of metal fabrication and workshop management. As a skilled worker in this engaging simulator, you'll manage robotic islands, operate forklifts, and handle raw materials to create unique metal products. The game's combination of immersive mechanics and creative problem-solving sets it apart in the indie gaming landscape.

In terms of PC performance, Metalworking is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 800 to run smoothly. With just 4 GB of RAM needed, gamers can expect reasonably stable FPS even on modest setups, making it a good choice for those with lower-end hardware. Benchmark tests indicate that players can achieve satisfactory graphics settings without compromising performance, allowing for an enjoyable experience across various systems.

If you enjoy simulator games that offer a mix of creativity and management, Metalworking is worth exploring. Its unique take on the metalworking industry, coupled with decent player ratings, suggests it could be a great addition to your gaming library. Overall, fans of the genre will likely find satisfaction in the challenges and satisfaction that Metalworking delivers.

Performance profile

Released in May 2021, Metalworking targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Simulation titles like Metalworking are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Metalworking 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.
