This leaves any application (such as Consortium) with a maximum of 2GB to play with. During loading, Consortium can allocate up to 1.8GB worth of memory. If you are running Consortium with a 32 bit machine, be sure to close as many other simultaneously running programs as you can, otherwise "out of memory" crashes may occur. | Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 64 bit Processor: Intel Core i5-6600, 3.3 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, 3.5 GHz Memory: 12 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 2 GB or AMD Radeon R7 360, 2 GB DirectX: Version 11 Network: Broadband Internet connection Storage: 7 GB available space Additional Notes: Minimum System Requirements might change in the future |

CONSORTIUM vs V Rising: which should you buy?
For Filipino gamers, V Rising is the stronger recommendation despite its higher system demands. It boasts a much better community rating (3.7/5 vs. 2.7/5) and nearly double the average playtime (7 hours vs. 4 hours), offering more value per peso. Its multiplayer and co-op modes also provide replayability, whereas Consortium is single-player only. However, V Rising requires a 64-bit processor, 12GB RAM, and Windows 10, which may be a hurdle for older PCs common in the Philippines. Consortium runs on modest hardware (4GB RAM, Windows 7/8 32-bit) and is available on both Steam and GOG, giving budget-conscious buyers a cheaper entry point—though its low rating suggests a mediocre experience. If your PC meets V Rising’s recommended specs (e.g., GTX 1070), it’s the better investment. For low-end PCs or strict budgets, Consortium is the only option, but keep your expectations low.
