Grim Dawn System Requirements FAQ

Can I run Grim Dawn on a low-end PC?▼
Grim Dawn is relatively well-optimized. If your PC meets the minimum requirements (2.3GHz CPU, GeForce 6800/Radeon X850, 2GB RAM), you should be able to run the game on low settings at a playable framerate. However, expect performance dips in crowded areas or during intense combat.
What GPU do I need for Grim Dawn?▼
For minimum settings, an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series or ATI Radeon X850 series (with 512MB VRAM) or better is required. For a smoother experience on higher settings, an NVIDIA GeForce 500 series or ATI Radeon 6000 series (with 1.5GB VRAM) or better is recommended.
How much RAM does Grim Dawn need?▼
Grim Dawn requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM. However, 6GB of RAM is recommended for a smoother experience, especially with higher graphics settings or when playing with mods.
Will Grim Dawn run on integrated graphics?▼
It's unlikely Grim Dawn will run well on most integrated graphics solutions. While some newer, more powerful integrated GPUs *might* be able to run the game at very low settings and resolutions, performance will likely be poor and unstable. A dedicated GPU is highly recommended.
What is the best graphics settings for Grim Dawn?▼
The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the 'Medium' preset and adjust from there. Pay close attention to shadow quality, particle effects, and lighting, as these tend to be the most performance-intensive. Experiment to find a balance between visual fidelity and framerate.
