The minimum listing starts at an RTX 2060, RX 5700, or Arc B580. Steam's published targets describe 1080p at 60 fps, but actual results still depend on drivers, thermals, background software, and the final settings you choose.

Steam describes the minimum Performance preset as targeting 1080p/60fps and the recommended Balanced preset as targeting 1080p/60fps. Treat these targets as publisher guidance rather than a guarantee for every system.
Can an RX 580 run Echoes of Aincrad?
An RX 580 is below the official RX 5700 minimum listing. That means the publisher does not provide a supported 1080p/60 target for it; it does not prove that every RX 580 system will fail to launch. Use the free demo on the exact PC, start at the lowest practical preset, and judge a repeatable combat scene before buying.
| Your PC | Official comparison | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Below RX 5700 / RTX 2060 class | Below the listed minimum GPU tier | Test the free demo; do not assume 1080p/60. |
| Meets every minimum row | Matches the Performance-preset target on paper | Update drivers and test the same scene. |
| Meets every recommended row | Matches the Balanced-preset target on paper | Start from the official preset, then tune. |

What this table cannot predict
A parts list cannot guarantee frame pacing, shader behavior, ultrawide support, or performance after a future patch. Start with the preset closest to the official target, test the same repeatable scene, and change one setting at a time. If a problem began after an update, check the current patch summary and known-issues page before replacing hardware.
PC requirements FAQ
Can an RX 580 run the game?
It is below the listed RX 5700 minimum, so use the demo for a device-specific result and do not expect the official 1080p/60 target.
How much storage is required?
Steam lists 30 GB on an SSD for both minimum and recommended configurations. Keep additional free space for downloads, unpacking and updates.
