Core Requirements
- desktop_windowsOperating System: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (64-bit)
Modern 64-bit Windows OS required for DirectX 12 Agility SDK runtime and multi-threaded CPU asset pipelines.
- memoryDirectX: DirectX Version 12
Utilizes DirectX 12 for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, volumetric smoke, and real-time Lumen reflections.
- save_altStorage Note: 30 GB available space (SSD required)
High-speed solid-state storage eliminates asset popping and shortens reload times between encounters.
settings_applications Optimization Notes:
Upscaling: Features native support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 (Super Resolution and Frame Generation), AMD FSR 3.1, and Intel XeSS.
Key Settings: Lumen Global Illumination, Volumetric Fog Quality, and Screen Space Reflections exert the heaviest GPU impact.
