Now confirmed is the arrival of God of Struggle: Ragnarok on PC for September this year; meanwhile, its system specifications expand across five categories. While 1080p playback at 30 frames per second has relatively modest system requirements, achieving smooth performance at 4K resolution necessitates a substantial power boost in your computing setup.
While you may not require the absolute top-tier graphics card to play God of War: Ragnarok at 4K resolution, it’s remarkably close. Despite its age, the Nvidia GTX 1060 still manages to handle gameplay at low settings and 1080p resolution without significant issues.
| Minimal (1080p, 30fps) | Beneficial (1080p, 60fps) | |
| OS | Home windows 10 or later | Home windows 10 or later |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX 5500XT |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Tremendous AMD Radeon RX 5700 |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 4670K AMD Ryzen 3 1200 |
Intel Core i5 8600 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| RAM | 8GB | 16GB |
| Storage | 190GB SSD | 190GB SSD |
You’ll need a PC that meets the following minimum requirements to run God of War: Ragnarök smoothly:
* Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or later
* Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-6300, at least 3.2 GHz
* Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580, with at least 4 GB VRAM
* RAM: 8 GB
* Storage: At least 60 GB available space
For optimal performance, consider the following recommended specifications:
* Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, at least 3.6 GHz
* Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, with at least 8 GB VRAM
While the requirements aren’t overly stringent, players will still need a capable graphics card like a GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT to enjoy smooth gameplay at 1080p with minimal visual tweaks. While performance demands are modest, the quad-core Intel Core i5-4670K and AMD Ryzen 3 1200 processors prove more than sufficient for the task at hand. We require a minimum of 16GB of RAM to ensure optimal system performance for this specific configuration.
Meanwhile, we’ll raise the bar to participate at 1080p with medium settings at 60fps, necessitating a minimum of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5700, paired with a contemporary six-core CPU, such as the Core i5-8600K or Ryzen 5 3600. To meet these requirements, you’ll need an additional 16 gigabytes of random access memory.
The announcement reveals three distinct system necessity tiers, with the top tier falling within the traditional sweet spot, focusing on delivering 1440p gameplay at 60 frames per second with high-end settings. You are required to step up one other technology in graphics, with either an Nvidia RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6800 XT. These specifications further recommend a minimum of an eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, or an Intel Core i7-7700K.
Subsequently, there will be PCs with specifications akin to those already discussed, but elevating the graphics processing unit (GPU) to at least a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or a Radeon RX 6900 XT – sitting atop Nvidia and AMD’s most recent GPU offerings. With a high-performance GPU installed, you should confidently expect frame rates exceeding 60fps when running games at 4K resolution with graphical settings set to their most demanding levels.
Ultimately, the god tier requires a significant upgrade, enabling 60fps 4K gameplay at extreme settings, necessitating a minimum of an eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X or six-core Core i5 11600K gaming CPU in combination with a state-of-the-art graphics processing unit. To ensure seamless performance, you’ll require at least an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card that meets the recommended specifications.
NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.7, AMD’s FSR 3.1, and Intel’s XeSS 1.3 were all formally confirmed during the reveal trailer, accompanied by ultrawide support. The upscaling technology is poised to significantly enhance performance on less powerful graphics cards, provided support is available. As the God of War: Ragnarok PC release date has been announced, PC gamers won’t have long to wait before they can immerse themselves in this highly anticipated game. I’m confident that God of Struggle Ragnarok will successfully port to the Steam Deck, considering the struggles faced by its PS5 counterparts.
Considering the size of this recreation requires ample free cupboard space in your home? To meet the system’s requirements, you must ensure that you use a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a traditional hard drive, which necessitates verifying that your drive is as fast as possible.
