The Blood of Dawnwalker PC System Requirements
Final 1080p, 1440p and 4K PC targets, required GPUs and VRAM, and the Balanced-upscaling caveat.
This page synthesizes the attributed sources below. It does not present another outlet's test as our own; unresolved player reports stay provisional.
The final official matrix spans 1080p Low at 30 FPS through 4K Ultra at 60 FPS, but every tier assumes Balanced upscaling. All tiers require 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 or later, DirectX 12 and a 60 GB SSD.
Read the Balanced-upscaling caveat first
Rebel Wolves clarified that all four performance targets use DLSS, FSR or XeSS in Balanced mode. These are not native-resolution promises. Match your hardware to the row you intend to use, then begin with that row's preset and Balanced upscaling before making quality changes.
Final official PC target matrix
The final matrix attaches a resolution, frame-rate target, preset and minimum VRAM amount to each hardware tier.
| Target | Preset | CPU | GPU | VRAM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p / 30 FPS | Low | i5-11400F / Ryzen 7 2700X | GTX 1060 / RX 580 | 6 GB+ |
| 1080p / 60 FPS | Medium | i7-11700K / Ryzen 7 5700X | RTX 2060 Super / GTX 1070 Ti / RX 5700 / Arc A750 | 8 GB+ |
| 1440p / 60 FPS | High | i7-11700K / Ryzen 7 5700X | RTX 4060 / RX 7600 XT / Arc B580 | 8 GB+ |
| 2160p / 60 FPS | Ultra | i7-12700K / Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RTX 4070 Ti / RX 9070 | 12 GB+ |
What the matrix still does not guarantee
A target is not proof of a locked frame rate in every settlement, cutscene or traversal sequence. Launch-day player reports show hardware-dependent micro-stutter, while other players report stable results on similar-class GPUs. Treat the matrix as a starting configuration and test repeatable scenes before changing several settings at once.
Frequently asked questions
