Can I Run The Ascent On My Computer?

The Ascent is a moderately demanding title for a modern AAA game, but most gaming PCs should be able to run it on low graphical settings at least for respectable FPS. We have listed the official minimum and recommended requirements for The Ascent below, as provided by the publisher, though we advise always assuming a bit more oomph is needed, just to be sure.

What Gaming PC Do We Recommend To Play The Ascent?

The Ascent can be played at 1080p on the low settings at a respectable FPS on one of our $600 self-build PCs. If you want to play on the higher graphical settings, you’ll need something more like a $1,000 self-build gaming PC for that 1080p gaming. For 1440p at the higher graphics presets a $1,500 self-build gaming PC is what you’ll require, but for 4k at least a $2,000 self-build gaming PC will be needed.

If putting together your own PC doesn’t tickle your fancy, a pre-built gaming PC for under $800 will put out decent FPS on the lower graphical settings at 1080p. High graphical settings will require a $1,000 pre-built PC or thereabouts for 1080p gaming, a $1,500 pre-built gaming PC will be needed for 1440p, and at least a $2,000 pre-built gaming PC is what you’ll want for 4K.
