古剑奇谭(GuJian): PC requirements and the PC you need

About 古剑奇谭(GuJian)

Gujian is a Chinese fantasy role-playing game from Shanghai Aurogon, first released in China in 2010 and brought to Steam later. Set in an imagined version of ancient China, it mixes martial arts and myth with real landscapes and culture, and was one of the first big Chinese 3D RPGs to have its whole story voiced. You explore, fight and follow a long single-player tale. The Steam text is in Chinese, so check the language options before buying. The makers recommend a GeForce 8600 or Radeon HD 3000 card and 2 GB of memory, so any of our gaming PCs plays it easily.

What 古剑奇谭(GuJian) 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 almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with 2GB of memory.

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

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

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.
