System Specifications Overview
Electronic Arts and BioWare have officially unveiled the PC system requirements for their highly anticipated title, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which will harness the power of the Frostbite Engine. For those eager to embark on this new adventure, it’s essential to understand the specifications needed to ensure a seamless gaming experience.
At a minimum, players will need a robust setup to dive into the world of The Veilguard. The baseline requirements include:
- Requires: a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: 64 bit Windows 10/11
- Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X* (see notes)
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970/1650 / AMD Radeon R9 290X
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 100 GB available space
- Additional Notes: SSD Preferred, HDD Supported; AMD CPUs on Windows 11 require AGESA V2 1.2.0.7
For those seeking an enhanced experience, the recommended specifications mirror the minimum processor requirements but suggest a more powerful graphics card:
- Requires: a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: 64 bit Windows 10/11
- Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X* (see notes)
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700XT
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 100 GB available space
- Additional Notes: SSD Required; AMD CPUs on Windows 11 require AGESA V2 1.2.0.7
Interestingly, the CPU requirements remain unchanged between the minimum and recommended specifications, which may raise eyebrows among the gaming community. It’s worth noting that while the game will utilize the DX12 API, BioWare has yet to disclose whether it will incorporate Ray Tracing technology or support features like NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS.
Scheduled for release on October 31st, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has already generated excitement, especially following the 20-minute gameplay video shared by EA and BioWare in June 2024. Notably, players can look forward to accessing the game on Steam without the necessity of the EA App, and the absence of Denuvo on the Steam store page suggests a potential shift in EA’s approach to DRM for this triple-A title.
