The Blood of Dawnwalker Final PC System Requirements
Final PC targets run from 1080p/30 Low to 2160p/60 Ultra. Every tier assumes Balanced DLSS, FSR, or XeSS, plus 16 GB RAM and 60 GB of SSD storage.
Answer first
Direct answer
The final PC requirements range from a 1080p/30 Low target to a 2160p/60 Ultra target. Every tier assumes Balanced DLSS, FSR, or XeSS rather than native-resolution output. All four tiers require Windows 10 or newer, DirectX 12, 16 GB of RAM, and 60 GB of SSD storage.

What is confirmed
The final published PC table contains four target tiers. The operating-system and storage requirements are shared across them: Windows 10 or a newer version, DirectX 12, 16 GB of RAM, and 60 GB of SSD space.
| Target | CPU | GPU | VRAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p / 30 FPS, Low | Intel Core i5-11400F / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 | 6 GB+ |
| 1080p / 60 FPS, Medium | Intel Core i7-11700K / AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super / GTX 1070 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 5700 / Intel Arc A750 | 8 GB+ |
| 1440p / 60 FPS, High | Intel Core i7-11700K / AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 / AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT / Intel Arc B580 | 8 GB+ |
| 2160p / 60 FPS, Ultra | Intel Core i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 9070 | 12 GB+ |
Every row assumes that one of the supported upscalers—DLSS, FSR, or XeSS—is set to Balanced. The resolution and frame-rate labels must be read with that condition attached. They are not claims that the listed hardware produces the target at native output resolution.
The table is useful for placing a system into an official target category. For example, a GTX 1060 or RX 580 with enough video memory appears in the Low target row, while the RTX 4070 Ti and RX 9070 appear in the Ultra row. Those are published target pairings, not independent performance measurements from this guide.
What is not confirmed
The official chart does not provide a separate native-resolution result for any of the four tiers. It also should not be treated as a public benchmark measuring how every listed component behaves across the full game. The Balanced upscaling condition is part of all four targets.
The target labels do not establish exact frame pacing, minimum frame rates, or performance in every scene. Hardware combinations, drivers, and the final workload can only be evaluated with evidence beyond the requirements chart; no such measurements are asserted on this pre-release page.
The April requirements chart is superseded for this purpose. In particular, hardware from that older chart should not be inserted into the final four-tier list above.
Frequently asked questions
What are the shared PC requirements, and where does the GTX 1060 fit?
All four tiers list Windows 10 or newer, DirectX 12, 16 GB of RAM, and 60 GB of SSD storage. CPU, GPU, and video-memory requirements then change with the target tier.
The GTX 1060 is listed in the 1080p / 30 FPS Low tier with at least 6 GB of video memory, alongside the other shared requirements. That target assumes Balanced upscaling.
Does the Ultra row represent native 4K output, and is an SSD required?
No. The 2160p / 60 FPS Ultra target, like every other row, assumes DLSS, FSR, or XeSS set to Balanced. The table does not establish a separate native-output result.
Yes. The common requirements specify 60 GB of SSD storage rather than listing a hard disk as an alternative.
