About Sniper Elite: Resistance

Sniper Elite: Resistance is the latest game in Rebellion's Sniper Elite series, set in German-occupied France during the Second World War. You work behind enemy lines with the resistance, using careful long-range sniping, stealth and third-person combat, with the series' famous slow-motion bullet camera. There is a single-player campaign, online co-op and competitive multiplayer. Even the makers' minimum is an RTX 2060, Arc A750 or RX 6600 and 16 GB of memory, so it wants a proper gaming PC.

What Sniper Elite: Resistance needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs a decent mid-range graphics card, with at least 16GB of memory.

Will my computer play Sniper Elite: Resistance?

On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.

Where do I find these on my computer?
  1. Processor and memory: on Windows 10 or 11, right-click the Start button and choose System. Look for Processor (type the part like "i5-4460" or "Ryzen 5 3600") and Installed RAM.
  2. Graphics card: press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, click Performance, then GPU. The name is at the top right. If there are two, use the one that is not "Intel UHD" or "Radeon Graphics".

On most computers this page finds the graphics card for you. What you type is used to work out the answer and then forgotten: we keep nothing.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
