02The two pages here
Minimum and recommended states the full envelope: CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and OS. Check it before citing any Library rating.
GPU and VRAM explains why resolution is a VRAM decision first and a GPU-speed decision second — with per-tier guidance.
Both pages assume official firmware installed and a warmed Shader cache. Build: Download Meridian.
03Sizing rule of thumb
- Below minimum: do not report defects. The configuration is untested by definition.
- At minimum: Stable titles at native resolution with patience for warm-up.
- At recommended: Stable plus Beta at higher resolutions with headroom.
04Questions
Q.01Can I run Meridian on integrated graphics?
No. Vulkan 1.3 on a discrete-class GPU with current drivers is the floor — see Vulkan check.
Q.02Is 8 GB VRAM enough?
For Stable titles at native resolution, yes. Dense open worlds want more — see GPU and VRAM.
Q.03Does RAM matter past 16 GB?
Yes for large open worlds and multitasking headroom. 32 GB is the recommended line.
