WARDOGS PC System Requirements Explained
Compare the official minimum and recommended WARDOGS PC requirements for 1080p, 1440p, and upscaled 4K targets before Early Access.
CONFIRMED CORE
- Minimum: Windows 10, i5-8600 or Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 or RX 590, and 50 GB storage.
- Recommended: Windows 11, i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB RAM, RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT, and 50 GB storage.
- A broadband internet connection is listed for both tiers.
LIVE BUILD CHECK
- Real frame rate on representative hardware
- Upscaler choices and quality modes
- CPU and GPU bottlenecks in full servers
- Shader compilation and launch-day driver behavior
Minimum target
The official minimum pairs Windows 10 with an Intel i5-8600 or Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX 1660 or RX 590. Steam describes the target as 1080p Low at 60 FPS with upscaling, not native 1080p performance.
Recommended target
The recommended tier lists Windows 11, an Intel i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB RAM, and an RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT. The store describes roughly 1440p Medium at 70+ FPS natively or 4K Medium at 60+ FPS with upscaling.
Prepare for the public build
Keep at least 50 GB available, update the graphics driver, and close unnecessary overlays before the first test. Change one setting at a time and record resolution, upscaler mode, server size, and the scene being measured before drawing conclusions about performance.
