Steam Deck & laptop compatibility
The game is playable on Steam Deck, with an estimated frame rate of around 27 frames per second at 1280x800 resolution, provided settings are reduced. While not consistently 30 FPS, the experience is considered acceptable for portable play. This indicates some compromises are needed for optimal performance on the device.
For a 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, a gaming laptop needs an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU or better. Users with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop GPU can expect playable settings, albeit at lower frame rates, likely around 30 FPS or less. It is worth noting that laptop GPUs are generally less powerful than their desktop equivalents, so matching the desktop AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 will require a robust laptop configuration.
Atomic Heart is Mundfish’s first-person action shooter set in an alternate-history Soviet Union. The published minimum targets 1080p at 30 frames per second on low settings, with a Ryzen 3 1200 or Core i5-2500 paired with a Radeon R9 380 or GTX 960 and 4 GB of VRAM.
The recommended specification aims for 1080p at 60 frames per second on ultra, calling for a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i7-7700K with an RX 6700 XT or RTX 2070 and 16 GB of RAM. The game uses Unreal Engine 4 and features detailed environments and reflective surfaces that can push the GPU at higher presets. A 90 GB install and a solid-state drive are recommended for smoother asset streaming during exploration.
