Shadow Warrior 3’s release date is fast approaching, and developer Flying Wild Hog has finally revealed the game’s system requirements. Thankfully, the six-year gap between instalments in the franchise hasn’t pushed the specs needed to jump into this whacky FPS game much higher.
If you haven’t been able to upgrade your gaming PC with the best graphics card on the market, worry not, as Shadow Warrior 3 can run on near-decade old GPUs like the Nvidia GeForce GTX 760. It’s a similar story when it comes to CPUs too, and you can expect a 30fps experience at 1080p with the average preset.
For those aiming for 60fps with higher graphics settings, you’ll need to equip yourself with a more modern card like the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700. Shadow Warrior 3 requires 8GB of gaming RAM and 31GB of storage space from your gaming SSD, regardless of which spec you aim for.
Here are the Shadow Warrior 3 system requirements:
| Minimum (1080p / Average / 30fps) |
Recommended (1080p / High / 60fps) |
|
| OS | Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Phenom II X4 965 Intel Core i5-3470 |
AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Intel Core i7-6950X |
| RAM | 8GB | 8GB |
| GPU | AMD Radeon R7 260X Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 |
AMD Radeon RX 5700 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 |
| VRAM | 2GB | 8GB |
| Storage | 31GB | 31GB |
Given that Shadow Warrior 2 was one of the first non-VR games to use Nvidia’s ‘Multi-Res Shading’ rendering technique, it’s likely that Shadow Warrior 3 will feature some of team green’s latest graphical features too. Nvidia DLSS and Nvidia Reflex are the primary candidates, which should help make gameplay more responsive through increase frame rates and lower system latency.
