Can my PC run The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?

Game of the Year winner, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, was developed by CD Projekt Red and was originally released on May 18, 2015. It re-released about a year later (August 30, 2016) with a content-packed GOTY edition which included all of the DLCs. It contains the Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine expansions which, in total, adds another 50 hours of playtime! Other big games from CD Projekt Red include Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales and the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077. The overall system requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are a bit higher than the average game, but still on par with other open-world, triple-A level games. There is a new buzz around The Witcher franchise because Netflix is bringing a live-action TV series to viewers this year! In order to answer the question, “Can my computer play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?” we must take a closer look at the minimum and recommended system requirements.

The minimum system requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are very similar to that of Praey for the Gods. At the video card level, CD Projekt Red states that you need at least a GeForce GTX 660 or a Radeon HD 7870. Unfortunately, there aren’t any models of Intel HD Graphics that are officially supported by the devs. Even the CPU requirements are the exact same for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Praey for the Gods - only a Core i5-2500K or Phenom II X4 940 are needed to pass the minimum test. Over the course of continued development after release, the system requirements remained the same through all of the DLCs. On top of the normal hardware requirements, your PC also needs at least 6 GB of RAM.

Trying to prepare for the Netflix binge, but you want to play on max graphics? Your PC is going to need to be just as solid as your elite witching skills. Swing Geralt’s sword and see every frame of the animation with a computer that passes the recommended specs which are only about 10% higher than the minimum requirements. For GPU, your rig needs at least a GeForce GTX 770 or a Radeon R9 290. Essentially, if your computer can pass this requirement test, then it can most likely pass over 90% of the minimum requirements for any game, and 80% of the recommended requirements for them. The necessary CPU models that will get your PC in the green are the Core i7-3770 and the AMD FX-8350 with a 4.0 GHz clock speed.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was recently featured on PCGamesn’s Best PC Games List alongside other games like XCOM 2 and PUBG. At the time of writing this, almost 40% of CanYouRUNIts’ users could pass the requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It’s time to find out if your PC has what it takes to run one of the best Action-RPGs of all time.
