Where Winds Meet: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Where Winds Meet

Where Winds Meet is a free to play open-world action RPG from Everstone Studio, set in ancient China. You begin as a humble wanderer from a village and work your way up to become a master swordsman in the imperial capital, learning martial arts and finding out who you really are. You can play it alone, team up online or fight other players, and your reputation can be heroic or chaotic. There are in-game purchases. It is demanding: the makers recommend an RTX 2070 Super, RX 6700 XT or Arc A750 and 32 GB of memory, so a stronger PC helps.

What Where Winds Meet needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs a mid-range graphics card from a few years ago, and to play it well the makers suggest a decent mid-range graphics card, with 32GB 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.

Questions about Where Winds Meet on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
