About
Very Real Chess, released in 2016, is an innovative indie chess simulator that immerses players in a virtual reality environment, allowing for a unique blend of strategy and skill development. Players can engage in matches against challenging AI opponents, teleport around the chessboard, or even throw pieces in a playful twist. This game stands out not only for its depiction of a classic sport but also for its engaging take on a beloved pastime.
When it comes to PC performance, Very Real Chess is designed to be accessible to a wide range of gamers. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level card (around a score of ~5968) and a CPU benchmark of approximately ~2628, players can expect smooth gameplay even on modest systems. With 8 GB RAM, users should aim for a GPU in the low to mid-tier range to achieve optimal FPS, especially in VR settings where performance can be more demanding.
For chess enthusiasts and VR aficionados alike, Very Real Chess comes highly recommended. Its unique simulation combined with strategy elements makes it a refreshing take on the traditional chess experience, catering to both casual players and serious strategists. If you enjoy indie games that challenge your thinking while delivering an immersive experience, this title is well worth your time.
Performance profile
Released in November 2016, Very Real Chess 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.
As a strategy title, Very Real Chess is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Very Real Chess; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
