Diablo 4 system requirements

Official Diablo 4 system requirements

Blizzard released the long-awaited Diablo 4 PC requirements [1] on Battle.net's Support section. These PC specs are for the final game, set to be released on June 6, 2023; however, Blizzard notes that it reserves the right to change them before that time (probably not by much, though).

Minimum PC requirements

The PC hardware required to run Diablo 4 on minimum (or low) graphics settings (i.e., 30fps on 1080p resolution) is:

Minimum requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K CPU or AMD FX-8100 CPU
• Memory: 8GB RAM
• Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon R9 280
• DirectX version: 12.0
• Storage: 90GB for release (45GB for Beta); SSD preferred
• Internet connection: Broadband

Open Beta

Recommended PC requirements

To run Diablo 4 on medium graphics settings (i.e., 60fps at 1080p resolution), players will need:

Recommended requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K CPU or AMD R3-1300X
• Memory: 16GB RAM
• Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU or AMD Radeon RX 470 GPU
• DirectX version: 12.0
• Storage: 90GB for release (45GB for Beta); SSD preferred
• Internet connection: Broadband

Open Beta

Very High graphics settings requirements (4k?)

With Diablo 3, Blizzard only released PC hardware recommendations [2] for low and medium graphics settings; therefore, it's unlikely to post them for Diablo 4. Instead, check back here for some player-based tests on Diablo 4's Very High settings, when they're able to be performed. Also, check back for what the Very High graphics options include (e.g., 4k, anti-aliasing, and shadow quality).

Current fastest Diablo 4 PC hardware

Fastest GPU

As of March 2023, the top GPU by performance is NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090, albeit pricey and hard to find. However, AMD's Radeon RX 7900 line is no slouch, and noticeably cheaper.

GeForce RTX 4090

• [Check Price]
• 2,800 MHz speed
• 24GB RAM

Radeon RX 7900 XTX

• [Check Price]
• 2,615 MHz speed
• 24GB RAM

Radeon RX 7900 XT

• [Check Price]
• 2,535 MHz speed
• 20GB RAM

Granted, these are the best graphics cards money can buy, and Diablo 4's GPU requirement is much lower, but if you want to ensure max settings, you can't go wrong with any of the cards above. Given current supply chain issues, the top half of the list may be hard to find in stock.

Fastest CPU

While a GPU will have the greatest impact on running Diablo 4 on max settings, a processor is also important. Below are the fastest CPUs (under $1,000) on the market today:

Intel i9-13900KS

• [Check Price]
• 24 cores
• 6.0 GHz

Intel i9-13900K

• [Check Price]
• 24 cores
• 5.8 GHz

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

• [Check Price]
• 16 cores
• 5.7 GHz

Ray tracing not supported at launch

Blizzard says that Diablo 4 won't launch with ray tracing, a lighting technology supported by modern GPUs that makes light look more realistic (e.g., better illumination, reflections, and refractions). That said, the feature may come later, during a Season or expansion. Lastly, it's unknown at this point whether Diablo 4 supports 4k resolution, which may aid the ray tracing.
