Age of Wonders 4: Archon Prophecy System Requirements

If your PC meets the *minimum* requirements (Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB), and 8GB RAM), you should be able to play, but likely on lower settings and with lower performance. Performance may degrade in larger battles.

For minimum settings, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) is required. For recommended settings, aim for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 570 (8GB) for a smoother experience.

At least 8 GB of RAM is required to run the game. 16 GB of RAM is recommended for optimal performance, especially with higher settings and larger maps.

While technically possible, running the game on integrated graphics is *not recommended*. The game is graphically demanding, and integrated graphics cards typically don't meet the minimum GPU requirements, resulting in very low performance or unplayable framerates. A dedicated graphics card is highly advised.

The best settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset. If performance is good, gradually increase settings like texture quality and shadow detail. If performance is poor, lower settings like shadows, anti-aliasing, and resolution.
