The video from Respawn PC explores the true minimum requirements for playing Baldur's Gate 3 at 720p and 30 FPS, going beyond the official specifications. The host tests various outdated GPUs and CPUs, experiencing poor performance until upgrading to a GTX 960 and increasing RAM to 16GB, which leads to slightly better performance. Testing continues with an Intel i7-920 paired with several GPUs, including a GTX 950 and GT 1030, finding smooth gameplay at 720p on low settings. Optimal budget configurations identified are the i7-920 with GTX 950 and 8GB RAM, and the i5-650 with GTX 960 and 16GB RAM. The video concludes with a note on upcoming content testing different storage devices and a call to subscribe.

In this segment of the video, the host from Respawn PC aims to find the true minimum requirements to play Baldur’s Gate 3 at 720p and 30 FPS smoothly, going beyond the official minimum requirements. They begin testing with various old GPUs and CPUs starting with a GTX 660, which fails due to outdated drivers. They then try an AMD HD 7770 with similar issues and progress through various configurations including the GTX 750 Ti and several Intel CPUs. Performance remains poor, often below 20 FPS. Upgrading to a GTX 960 and increasing RAM to 16GB finally achieves slightly better performance, reaching 30 FPS with dips into the 20s. They then switch to an old AMD X6 1045t and experience performance issues before deciding to try an Intel i7-920 with a GTX 950.

In this part of the video, the presenter tests various PC setups to determine the best budget configurations for running Baldur’s Gate. They start with an i7-920 and a GTX 950, finding that at 720p on low settings, locking the FPS at 30 results in smooth gameplay. They then try a GTX 960 with the same CPU, achieving more stable FPS on low settings without locking it. Next, they test an i7-920 with a GT 1030 and 2GB of DDR5, achieving stable 30 FPS at 720p low settings. The presenter then maxes out the i7-920 setup using a GTX 980 Ti, 24GB of DDR3 memory, and ultra settings, achieving 62 FPS max at 720p and stable performance at 1080p by locking the FPS at 45 or 40. The two recommended budget setups are the i7-920 with GTX 950 and 8GB of memory, and the i5-650 with GTX 960 and 16GB of memory, both performing well for 720p low settings at 30 FPS. The next video will explore performance using different storage devices like SSD, HDD, and USB drives.
