About VTube Studio
VTube Studio is a program rather than a game, made by DenchiSoft for people who want to become a VTuber. It animates a Live2D character model using your webcam or phone so the model copies your face and movements on screen, ready for streaming or videos. You can pin extra objects onto your character, and Steam Workshop offers extra items made by other users. It is free to download. The makers ask for a graphics card with at least 4 GB of memory and 6 GB of system memory, which any of our gaming PCs easily covers.
What VTube Studio needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, and to play it well the makers suggest basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, with 6GB of memory.

Will my computer play VTube Studio?
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.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.
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.
