The Start

[TechCat]

Due to the Start of INZOI early access, we start here too.

your thoughts?

[Rosewin]

I am probably not going to get it till I have a computer that can handle it, but I am really looking forward to seeing what others think of the game play.

[TechCat]

the only big issue i know is the graphics card. it is a *bit* hungry.

I'm very excited to give this one a whirl.  Thankfully my system falls between Medium-Recommended requirements.  For recommended my graphics card & processor is like 1 model shy to meet it; however, they all exceed medium requirements.  And I didn't see much difference between Medium & recommended, so crossing fingers I can play this nicely with my computer.

[KayBee]

Yeah, at the very minimum I need to upgrade my graphics card. I'm not even close.  My PC could handle the rest. I will admire your ZOIs in the meantime.

[RedMallie]

My graphics card is the minimum required, but the rest of my system fall in the recommended, so I think I'll get it and see how it looks on my graphics card. I'll see if / when I can upgrade that later on.

My laptop won't be able to run the game, but I'm so excited! I really look forward to this game either killing The Sims or making EA snap out their current business model.

[Kimi]

^^ This! And thy this, I mean the business model.

Trying to figure out whether my PC meets certain requirements has always confused me, so I'm unsure whether the game would work on mine. I don't know how some of you are making the determination that the game would run or not run and on what settings. The storage amount (60GB) is quite a lot. Unfortunately, my monthly internet download amount is limited. Even though I'm not planning to get the game any time soon, I'd have to ask my brother if my PC meets the requirements; he knows basically everything about computers.

@Kendranathere is an easy way to check.

go to the microsoft store, there is a *free* app called aida64, which can show you basic info about your pc,

while this app is not showing much info on a laptop, its greas on a desktop.

 

[Kendrana]

Thank you! That app makes it a lot easier to find the necessary information.

System: Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R14
Memory: 16 GB RAM
CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 7 5800 8-Core Processor, 3.40 GHz
DirectX Version: DirectX 12
Display: AMD Radeon RX 6700 X, 12GB Video Memory, 8144MB Shared System Memory
Windows: Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit

Given all of this, I'm still not completely sure where my PC stands overall compared to the various game requirements.

well, if i look at the pure numbers, your pc should run inzoi just fine.

i would say medium. mind you, inzoi had high specs *on paper*

I found out where mine was by going here  and putting in inZoi as game, and clicking on the can you run it.  It will put a small app on your computer which is safe according to Norton, and you can delete at any point.  Anyway, it reviews your specs and compares them to the specs for the game.

Great information, thank you all!

Thank you for the help in making that determination. My knowledge of computers and technology (in general) is mainly limited to the basics. It changes so quickly and often that it's difficult for me to keep up with. It kind of surprised me that the game would run on medium settings, given that it's nearly three years old.

There is something off with that app in my case, because it indicated my computer failed all of the minimum requirements except the Windows operating system and the amount of free disk space. Somehow having 16GB of RAM failed the minimum requirement of 12GB, for example. Thanks for suggesting that as an option, though. My guess is that there may be something about my particular PC that's preventing that site from detecting the hardware correctly.
