Can I Run Icarus?

Do you want to know how your system compares against the requirements for Icarus? Use our interactive checker to find out!

Graphics Requirements

To run Icarus it is recommended that you have a minimum of an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB. The recommended graphic card for the best visual experience is an NVIDIA RTX 3060ti (or better).

DirectX Version 11 should also be available on your system.

Running Icarus on a graphics card that is above the recommended specifications will allow you to achieve the highest levels of visual detail and the best frame rates. Good frame rates can be beneficial when playing competitive games. A higher frame rate will reduce input lag allowing you to react more quickly to events on screen.

To easily see how your graphics card compares to these specifications use our interactive GPU checker.

CPU Requirements

Icarus requires that you have a minimum of an Intel i5 8400 processor. For the best game experience an Intel i7-9700 (or better) processor is recommended.

Some games require a powerful CPU in order to manage the game engine. The game engine deals with things like processing network communications for multi-player games and the AI of your enemies in strategy games. Some games are considered CPU intensive or CPU dependent. Most modern games offload work directly to the GPU and don't require a powerful CPU for demanding visuals.

Memory Requirements

It is recommended that you have a minimum of 16 GB RAM to run Icarus. The recommended amount of memory for the best game experience is 32 GB RAM (or more).

Having more than the recommended level of RAM for a game will usually not yield much extra gaming performance. However it may be useful if your computer runs other applications in the background.

Storage Requirements

You should have a minimum of 70 GB available space to install and run Icarus.

An SSD (Solid State Drive) will generally deliver faster game load times than a HDD with a fixed head. Having more than the recommended level of storage available for a game will usually not improve your experience.

Operating System Requirements

Icarus runs on Windows 10 (64-bit versions). The recommended operating system the best compatability is Windows 10 (64-bit versions).

Meeting operating system requirements is not always necessary and can sometimes be overlooked. However running an old operating system will usually mean you may have to install extra drivers and encounter unsupported game crashes.

Platforms

Icarus was first released on Dec 3, 2021. It is currently available on the following platforms:

• PC

An alternative to expensive graphics cards and CPU purchases is console gaming. You may not get the absolute best frame rates or visual quality but if a game is available for a console you can usually be sure of an acceptable level of performance at all times.

Additional Requirements

In addition to the above specified requirements you may also need to the following:

• Network : Broadband Internet connection
