Processor demand is rated separately: ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs scores 32 on our CPU scale, higher than 47% of the games we model.
Official minimum and recommended specs for ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs, translated into frame rates.
These are the developer figures on Steam, and patches can change them.
Steam names GTX 750ti as the minimum graphics card. Expect around 147 FPS at 1080p Low, or around 81 FPS if you raise the preset to High.
There is no recommended spec on the Steam page, which means the demand score for ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is anchored to the minimum card. Read the frame rates as a modelled guide.
Steam sets memory at 4 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 1 GB available space of storage.
From a 30 FPS floor to 4K, here is the card each target asks for in ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs.
| Target | Lowest card tested | First RTX 50 card | Also reaches it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Playable, 30 FPS at 1080p Low | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 1080p 60 FPS, Medium | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 1080p 60 FPS, High | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 1440p 60 FPS, High | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 1440p 100 FPS, High | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 4K 60 FPS, High with upscaling | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
| 4K 60 FPS, Ultra with upscaling | GTX 1060 6GB | RTX 5050 | GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 6600 |
Our estimates put 1080p 60 FPS on High within reach of the GTX 1060 6GB and above, with the RTX 5050 as the cheapest RTX 50 route there.
For a smooth 1440p on High you want at least the GTX 1060 6GB. Within the RTX 50 range that means the RTX 5050 or above.
For 4K, upscaling does most of the work: with Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to reach 60 FPS on High.
The table covers NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards. Add your own processor, memory and settings in the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

On the Steam page the entry card is GTX 750ti and the recommended card is GTX 750ti, with 2-core / 4-thread CPU as the processor and RAM of 4 GB RAM at minimum (4 GB RAM recommended). Storage needed is 1 GB available space.
Compare your graphics card with the verdict table above, or enter your exact parts in our can my PC run it checker. In our estimates the first card to reach 60 FPS at 1080p on High is the GTX 1060 6GB.
Aim for the GTX 1060 6GB or better for 1080p at 60 FPS on High; the RTX 5050 is the first current RTX 50 card to manage it.
The GTX 1060 6GB is the lowest card we tested that holds 60 FPS at 1440p on High, with the RTX 5050 the first RTX 50 option.
Our estimate is roughly 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p on the High preset. It has 8 GB of VRAM, which is comfortable for this game at 1440p, so you can usually raise the settings.
Roughly 253 FPS at 1440p on High, rising to around 253 FPS with Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling. Drivers, the area you play in and your CPU will move that.
At 4K you will lean on upscaling: the RTX 5050 is where RTX 50 first reaches 60 FPS on High that way.
Expect 2 GB at 1080p, 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K. That leaves 8GB fine for 1080p and fine for 1440p, so keep a margin.
Plan on around 2 GB at 1080p, 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K on High. It is derived from the publisher recommended specs, not a measured value.
Steam points to 2-core / 4-thread CPU and lists 2-core / 4-thread CPU as the minimum. Our CPU table shows Core i3-12100F, Ryzen 5 3600, Core i5-12400F, Ryzen 5 5600 and faster holding a card above 60 FPS.
Memory runs from 4 GB RAM to 4 GB RAM. Allowing for Windows and everyday apps, 16 GB is a sensible target.
Steam does not state an SSD requirement, but an SSD is recommended for loading times. Plan for 1 GB available space of free space.
By our estimates these laptop GPUs reach 60 FPS at 1080p on High at typical power limits: RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop. Results depend on the power limit (TGP) and cooling.
Start on High, turn on the best DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling mode the game offers, then lower the heaviest settings such as shadows and volumetric effects. The settings table above gives a starting point for several cards.
Graphics demand is 4 (0% of the 937 modelled games sit below it) and CPU demand is 32 (47% below), so we class it as undemanding.
