Crusader Kings III: Khans of the Steppe System Requirements

If your PC meets the *minimum* requirements (Intel Core i5-4670K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7870 / Intel Arc A380, 8GB RAM), you *should* be able to run the game, but expect lower graphical settings and potentially slower performance, especially during large wars or late-game scenarios. Performance can be improved by lowering graphics settings.

The *minimum* GPU is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2GB), AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB), or Intel Arc A380 (6GB). For a smoother experience with higher settings, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 590 (8GB) is *recommended*.

The game requires a *minimum* of 8 GB of RAM. However, 16 GB of RAM is *recommended* for smoother gameplay and to avoid potential performance issues, especially with larger empires and later game years.

While *technically* possible if your integrated graphics solution is comparable to the minimum requirements (Intel Arc A380), it's *not recommended*. You'll likely experience very low frame rates and significant performance issues. A dedicated graphics card is highly recommended for a playable experience.

The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset and adjust from there. If you're experiencing lag, lower settings like 'Shadows,' 'Water Quality,' and 'Texture Quality.' Disabling 'Anti-Aliasing' can also improve performance.
