Some developers want to push their games to the limit of what is possible in terms of graphics. For example, Ascendant Studios announced the system requirements of Immortals of Aveum last week, recommending an RTX 3080 Ti and one of the latest processors. And for all that power, you can run the game at 1440p on medium to high settings. If you want to play the game on PC at all, you’ll need an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super.
Fortunately, there are also developers who want to make their games playable for the largest possible audience, such as Blizzard. The studio has now revealed the system requirements for Diablo 4 and the requirements are good news for players with an older PC.
Antique hardware enough for Diablo 4
For the minimum requirements, an Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 280 is mentioned. These are video cards that are now ten years old. And the processors, an Intel i5-2500K or AMD FX-8350, can also be called antique in 2023. Even if you’re below the minimum system requirements, Diablo 4 should still run according to Blizzard, but “the experience will be significantly lowered.”
Players who have a PC at home with a lot of firepower can prepare themselves to game in 4K. To play Diablo 4 at the highest settings in 4K and at 60 FPS, an RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is recommended, combined with an Intel i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X.
