Disco Elysium - The Final Cut: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is a single-player role-playing game from ZA/UM. You play a detective who wakes up with no memory and must solve a murder in a run-down city. There is almost no combat; instead you talk, investigate and make choices, and your own skills speak to you as voices in your head, helping or misleading you. The Final Cut adds full voice acting and extra content. It is full of writing, humour and adult themes. The makers recommend a GTX 1060 or equivalent and 8 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.

What Disco Elysium - The Final Cut needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, and to play it well the makers suggest a mid-range graphics card from a few years ago, with 8GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

The gap between the minimum and recommended spec is modest, so a mid-range gaming PC gives a good experience.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
