Graphics Requirements

To run Strange Telephone it is recommended that you have a minimum of an DX9 (shader model 3.0) or greater.

DirectX Version 9.0 should also be available on your system.

Running Strange Telephone 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.

CPU Requirements

Strange Telephone requires that you have a minimum of an SSE2 instruction set support or greater processor.

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.

Operating System Requirements

Strange Telephone runs on Windows XP SP2+.

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

Strange Telephone was first released on Jan 20, 2019. It is currently available on the following platforms:

  • Android
  • iOS
  • 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.
