Kingdom Come: Deliverance: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a realistic open-world role-playing game from Warhorse Studios, set in medieval Bohemia in the early 1400s. You play Henry, a blacksmith's son whose village is destroyed by an invading army, and you set out to avenge his family. There is no magic and there are no monsters: you learn to fight, read, ride and survive as a real person might, while your decisions shape how events unfold. It is single player. It is rated PEGI 18. The makers recommend a GTX 1060 or RX 580 and 16 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.

What Kingdom Come: Deliverance 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 16GB 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.
