The video provides an in-depth overview of the system requirements for playing Diablo 4, detailing the necessary hardware for various settings and resolutions. The speaker discusses both minimum and recommended specifications, highlighting the importance of having sufficient RAM and a powerful GPU for optimal performance. Minimum specs for playing at 1080p 30 FPS include older CPUs like the i5 2500K and GPUs such as the GTX 660, while higher settings at 60 FPS demand more recent hardware such as the GTX 970 or Radeon RX 470. For ultra 4K settings, the game suggests 32GB of RAM, a high-end CPU like the i7 8700k, and GPUs like the RX 6800 XT. The video underscores the game's scalability, noting it can run on varying hardware levels from modern, high-end systems utilizing features like DLSS3 to more dated configurations. Viewers are informed about an upcoming beta server slam weekend, offering a chance to test these requirements firsthand and provide feedback.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the official system requirements for Diablo 4. They note that the requirements have been updated since the beta, including an ultra 4K spec that suggests 32GB of RAM, indicating the game is memory-intensive, especially with high-resolution textures. While the game can theoretically run on hardware below the minimum specs, such as hard drives instead of SSDs, dual-core CPUs, and integrated GPUs, the gaming experience might suffer. Maximum settings recommend an i7 8700k or Ryzen 7 2700x CPU, and a GPU like the RX 6800 XT or RTX 3080, with 90GB of SSD space. Minimum specs are specified for 1080p native or 720p render resolution upscaled to 1080p at 30 FPS, with 8GB of RAM and continued SSD recommendation. The segment emphasizes that attempting to run the game below recommended specs might result in a diminished experience.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for running a certain game. They highlight that older CPUs like the i5 2500K and AMD FX 8350 are sufficient for playing at 30 FPS, emphasizing the need for at least a four-core CPU. For GPUs, a GTX 660 or Radeon R9 280 is suggested for low settings at 720p upscaled to 1080p at 30 FPS. The speaker explains how to compare GPU performance using a tech power-up relative performance chart to determine if your current hardware is adequate. For better performance at 1080p 60 FPS and medium settings, the recommendation is at least 16 GB of RAM and a GPU such as a GTX 970 or Radeon RX 470.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the performance requirements needed for achieving 1080p at 60FPS in medium settings for various GPUs, like the GTX 960, 1050 Ti, and RX 6400, noting that they may fall short. They emphasize that a GTX 970, or something similar like the RX 470 or GTX 1650, would be more suitable, providing better performance with recent driver updates. Additionally, the speaker talks about the importance of having a decent 4-core CPU, referencing the i5 4670k and AMD Ryzen 1300x as examples that could suffice for 60FPS gameplay, even with their older release dates. Lastly, for high settings at 1080p 60FPS, the recommendation jumps to more powerful GPUs like the RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5700 XT, indicating a significant performance increase needed beyond the GTX 970 as the baseline.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the system requirements for running a game at various settings. They note that moving from medium to high settings significantly increases the necessary GPU power, mentioning models like the RTX 2060, RX 6600, and RTX 3060. The speaker also appreciates that the CPU requirements remain the same when increasing the resolution, as this is not always reflected accurately in other charts. For maintaining 60 FPS on ultra settings, a jump to CPUs like the i7 8700k or Ryzen 2700x is noted, highlighting that certain graphic settings may increase CPU load due to more complex physics and on-screen activities. Overall, they conclude that the game appears to scale well with hardware.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the scalability of an upcoming game, emphasizing its ability to run well on both high-end and older, lower-end hardware. The speaker expresses a preference for games that can utilize modern features like DLSS3 while also supporting lower settings for older systems. Additionally, they mention the potential to benchmark the game when it releases and ask viewers if they would be interested in this. They also note an upcoming beta server slam weekend scheduled from May 12th to 14th, inviting viewers to share their interest in seeing benchmarks or participating in the beta.
