Just yesterday we were able to confirm the requirements for Diablo IV and finally the best predictions have come true as it will be such an accessible title that we can play it even on old computers and not very efficient by today’s standards. However, we must keep in mind that the requirements we have seen are not equivalent to the optimal or ideal level for maximum quality and high definition gaming.
I know that many of you still have doubts about this topic, so I wanted to create this guide in which we will see three complete and different PC configurations which will allow us to play Diablo IV in different resolutions, with different quality settings and a good level of performance. It is important to keep in mind that this game will have a significant dependence on the GPU (the requirements clearly point in this direction), so if what you need is to update your equipment, then give priority to this component.
For example, if you have a quad-core processor and 8GB of RAM, your main goal should be to achieve at least at the performance level of GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 570. In case you have a dual-core, quad-threaded processor, chances are the game will run well if it has high IPC, but I can’t guarantee it, so we have to stick to at least four cores and Haswell or Zen-level IPC.
This is the basis we took to come up with the three configurations we chose, as they ultimately give us the necessary starting point to have an idea of the performance we can expect. In this sense, Blizzard said that the minimum requirements will allow us to do this play in 720p, low quality and 30 FPSwhile the recommended ones will give us the chance to play 1080p, although he did not specify any level of quality or fluency.
From GeForce GTX 970, which is the recommended graphics card, it has more than twice the performance of GeForce GTX 660which is the minimum requirement, I think we can most likely play with it in 1080p sc without problemsmedium or high quality and with a frequency between 40 and 60 frames per seconddepending on the graphic load of each scene.
With these two starting points, it is very easy to create three different configurations with which to move Diablo IV with all guarantees. 1080p, 1440p and 2160p. Please note that we’re still unclear on what real impact ray tracing will have on this game, so it’s hard to make a specific recommendation. However, I will leave you with an estimate of the minimum we must meet in any case.
The total cost of this device would be €428.71 with 6 GB GTX 1660 without chassis (functional and beautiful models can be found for 30 or 40 euros).
With this investment, we will be able to enjoy Diablo IV in maximum quality at 1080p resolution and will not have problems maintaining 60 FPS. We’ve been exceeding CPU requirements for a long timeas we have a multi-threaded processor with much higher IPC, we have 16GB of DDR4 at 2666MHz (Core i5-4670K would be limited to DDR3), we have a PCIe Gen3 SSD and we have the GeForce GTX 1660, which is 25% more powerful than the GTX 970 and it also has 2 GB more graphics memory.
This configuration would allow for many variations. For example, an older computer equipped with a Core i7-6700K and GeForce GTX 1070 it would also far exceed the CPU and GPU requirements and offer higher performance since this graphics card is more powerful than the GTX 1660.
If we wanted to play with ray tracing we would need at least one GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 6600. It’s unclear to me how this will affect the Diablo IV’s final performance, but both should be able to push it to 1080p with some smoothness.
This device would have a price, not including the chassis €614.17 configured with a Radeon RX 6600, which is a better value-for-money option if we don’t care about ray tracing. We have not included the cost of the chassis either, but it would be between 30 and 40 euros.
With this configuration, Diablo IV should run smoothly at 1440p and max quality with overall smoothness, as we comfortably exceed the recommended requirements. We have a processor with a much higher IPC than the Core i5-4670K and which also has 6 cores and 12 threads. Radeon RX 6600 is 92% more powerful than GeForce GTX 970so the difference in performance is huge and explains why we won’t have problems with this rig at 1440p and max quality.
Setting up with older components such as Core i7-8700 and GeForce GTX 1080 Tiwould also fall into this category as the said graphics card is actually slightly more powerful than the Radeon RX 6600.
If we’re going to play with ray tracing enabled, I think the minimum level would be va in this case GeForce RTX 3060 or Radeon RX 6700 XTbecause the RDNA2 architecture performs worse than Ampere in ray tracing.
We can assemble this device according to €784.22. As before, we didn’t include the chassis in the total price of this setup, but again, we could get a decent one for €30-40, so it’s not a significant increase in asking price.
As you can see, we kept all the components of the previous configuration for a very simple reason, that with the increase in resolution, the demands on the CPU and RAM do not increase, so the Ryzen 5 5500 and with those 16 GB of RAM at 3,200 MHz. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 34% more powerful than the Radeon RX 6600and the Radeon RX 6700 XT beats it by 36%, although NVIDIA’s solution does better with ray tracing.
This equipment will allow us to play Diablo IV in maximum quality and 4K resolution without any problems. If we have an older PC configured with e.g. sa GeForce RTX 2080 Superwe can also play it with the same settings without problems.
In case we are concerned ray tracingI think in this case the minimum level will be va GeForce RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6800 XTalthough as I told you before, it will all depend on how challenging it ends up being, which I’m still not clear on.
I think it’s important to make this paragraph before closing this guide, because the configurations we’ve given you would also serve to play at a higher resolution, which would reduce the quality of the graphics. So, With 1080p equipment we can play in 1440p with graphic quality adjustment and maybe we are sacrificing a bit of smoothness and with the 1440p configuration we can play in 4K and do the same thing which lowers the graphics quality and assumes less smoothness.
In the case of graphics cards as popular as e.g GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and Radeon RX 580 8GBBoth should be able to run it at 1080p at high or very high quality, but may not be able to maintain a fully stable 60 FPS with maxed out Diablo IV. The GeForce RTX 2060 6GB and Radeon RX 5700which are also two graphics cards that are still very popular, should not have a problem with 1440p resolution if we adjust the graphics quality level.
When we go to 4K, the demands multiply, but seeing how easy Diablo IV is on a hardware level, I’m sure that with GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT It should already play in that resolution by reducing the graphic quality.
to serve you as additional help and as a point of reference, I’ll leave you with a number of important keys to help you gauge how your PC will perform with Diablo IV. If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments and I will help you solve them.
