PC System Analysis For Black Desert Online Requirements
BDO is a great looking mass online RPG that will need an Nvidia GTX 650 or HD 7770, with 1GBVRAM to reach recommended graphics requirements.To reach reliable Black Desert frame rates a Core i5 650 processor or Phenom II x3 740 CPU would need to accompany that fairly low end GPU. The download file size for BDO is around 40GB and you will want to have 6GB system memory to avoid stuttering at 1080p resolution.
