Thief — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.
Developer: Eidos-Montréal, Feral Interactive (Mac) · Publisher: Eidos Interactive Corp., Feral Interactive (Mac) · Released: Feb 27, 2014 · Genres: Action, Adventure

System requirements — Thief
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.

|---|---|---|
| OS * | Windows Vista with Platform Update for Windows Vista | Windows 7, Windows 8 |
| Processor | High-Performance Dual Core CPU or Quad Core CPU | AMD FX 8000 series or better / Intel Quad i7 Core CPU |

Hardware demand level
Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (GTX 660). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Thief.
