Can your PC run MOUSE: P.I. For Hire? The short answer

Difficulty profile: how hard is MOUSE: P.I. For Hire to run?

Where this game sits among 937 modelled titles, with a look at what that means for each class of card.

Across the 937 games we have modelled, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire lands on a demand score of 32, ahead of 83% of them. In plain terms it is a demanding game for graphics hardware.

We take the recommended graphics card Steam lists (GeForce RTX 3060 / Intel Arc B570 / Radeon RX 7600) and translate it into a 1080p High demand figure. The result ranks games well, but individual frame rates will vary.

What it means by card class

• For a high-end card we use the RTX 5080. It returns about 277 / 179 / 102 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 102 FPS before any upscaling.
• As an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090 manages 279 FPS at 1080p, 279 FPS at 1440p and 162 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 162 FPS before any upscaling.
• For an entry card we use the RTX 5060. It returns about 118 / 51 / 18 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on High. Best at 1440p with upscaling: 83 FPS against 51 FPS natively.
• The RTX 5070, standing in for a mid-range card, gives roughly 202 FPS at 1080p and 131 FPS at 1440p, with 57 FPS at 4K. Needs upscaling for 4K: about 92 FPS with Quality upscaling, 57 FPS without.

For the processor we score MOUSE: P.I. For Hire at 29, which is above 42% of our data set.
