PC System Analysis For The Witcher III Requirements
Your PC will need a graphics card thats as powerful as a GeForce GTX 770/Radeon R9 290 and it should be paired with either a FX-8350/Core i7-3770 4-Core 3.4GHz CPU to match the The Witcher III recommended system specs. This PC setup will deliver 60 Frames Per Second on High graphics settings on 1080p monitor resolution. You should also have 6 GB system memory for min specs. Make sure your GPU can run DirectX 11 or The Witcher III won’t run. In short you need a 5 year old PC for best The Witcher III performance.
