Can you run BONEWORKS? PC requirements and settings
BONEWORKS, by Stress Level Zero (Action, Adventure, Indie, Simulation), came out on Steam on December 10, 2019.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardGTX 1080 / 2060super or greater for Rift CV1+Touch, Original Vive 90hz, and RiftS 80hz
Minimum cardGTX 1060 / 970 for Rift CV1+Touch, Original Vive at 90hz, and RiftS at 80hz
Recommended RAM16 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a Radeon RX 6600
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for BONEWORKS by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If BONEWORKS doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |
| GeForce RTX 5070 | High131–180 fps | High85–117 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High114–157 fps | High74–102 fps |
| Radeon RX 7800 XT | High124–171 fps | High81–111 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | High89–123 fps | High58–79 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | High89–123 fps | High58–79 fps |
| Intel Arc B580 | High76–105 fps | High + XeSS Quality66–91 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | High74–102 fps | High + DLSS Quality64–89 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High72–99 fps | High + FSR Quality63–86 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High63–87 fps | High + DLSS Quality55–75 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | High59–81 fps | High + FSR Balanced57–78 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | High + FSR Quality55–75 fps | Low + FSR Quality62–86 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

What are the best graphics settings for BONEWORKS on an RTX 4060?
For 60 frames per second at 1080p, ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick High settings: between 74 and 102 frames per second according to our conservative estimate.

By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 3060 runs BONEWORKS at 1080p on high settings, between 63 and 87 frames per second.
Can I run BONEWORKS on an RTX 4060?
By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 4060 runs BONEWORKS at 1080p on high settings, between 74 and 102 frames per second.
How much RAM does BONEWORKS need?
The publisher recommends 16 GB of RAM (minimum: 8 GB).
How much storage does BONEWORKS take?

How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's
recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high
settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
