The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt System Requirements FAQ
Can I run The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on a low-end PC?▼
If your PC meets the *minimum* requirements (Intel Core i5-2500K/AMD Phenom II X4 940, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660/AMD Radeon HD 7870, 6GB RAM), you should be able to run the game at low settings and a lower resolution (like 720p or 900p) with playable framerates. Performance will vary depending on specific hardware and settings.
What GPU do I need for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?▼
The *minimum* GPU requirement is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or an AMD Radeon HD 7870 (both with 2GB VRAM). For a better experience at higher settings, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 or an AMD Radeon R9 290 (also with 2GB VRAM) is *recommended*.
How much RAM does The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt need?▼
The *minimum* RAM requirement is 6GB. However, 8GB of RAM is *recommended* for smoother gameplay and to avoid potential stuttering or performance issues, especially at higher settings.
Will The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt run on integrated graphics?▼
It's highly unlikely that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will run smoothly on integrated graphics. The game is demanding, and integrated GPUs generally lack the power to handle its graphical requirements, even at the lowest settings. You'll likely experience very low framerates and significant graphical issues.
What is the best graphics settings for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?▼
The 'best' settings depend on your hardware. Start with the *recommended* settings. If performance is poor, lower settings like texture quality, shadow quality, and foliage visibility. HairWorks is very demanding, so disable it if needed. Experiment to find a balance between visual fidelity and performance.
