The world holds a lot of beauty in its fictional dark-age setting and the graphical prowess of the game shows us so. But not every player will be able to enjoy the game's visual aspects to their fullest because Diablo 4 can be quite taxing on the average PC. To fix this, we will be providing you with optimal settings for your PC to run the game on. But before that, you will need to check if your PC's specifications meet the requirements that the game needs to run smoothly. Diablo 4 system requirements To know which settings will work best on your system, you will first need to compare your system specifications to the minimum and recommended requirements that Blizzard has provided us. Minimum requirements Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD\u00a0FX-8350 Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon\u00a0R9 280 DirectX: Version 12 Storage: 45 GB Recommended requirements Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K or AMD\u00a0R3-1300X Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD\u00a0Radeon\u00a0RX 470 DirectX: Version 12 Storage: 90 GB (SSD preferred, especially for high-quality assets) If your system meets the minimum requirements, you should be able to run the game on its lowest settings with no problem. If your PC leans more toward the minimum requirements rather than the recommended requirements, we recommend not downloading high-quality assets. This is because the HD assets will take up more space and make the game run more sluggish on lower-end PCs. Related: How to play Diablo 4 on a Mac Whatever the case may be, running the game smoothly is integral for optimal performance. Especially if you are playing the game in higher World Tiers such as Nightmare and Torment and running the powerful Nightmare Dungeons. Best PC settings to run Diablo 4 on lower-end systems If your PC's specifications lie somewhere between the minimum and recommended requirements, there are a few tweaks you can make to the settings to make the game run smoother. First off, make sure you have updated your graphics drivers to their latest versions, be it NVIDIA or AMD. Once you have them updated, these core settings should be moved down to the low preset. Texture Quality:\u00a0Low Shadow Quality:\u00a0Low Shader Quality:\u00a0Low SSAO Quality:\u00a0Low Fog Quality:\u00a0Low Clutter Quality:\u00a0Low Fur Quality:\u00a0Low Water Simulation Quality:\u00a0Low Anti-Aliasing Quality:\u00a0Low Physics Quality:\u00a0Low Particles Quality:\u00a0Low Reflection Quality:\u00a0Low Geometric Complexity:\u00a0Low Terrain Geometry Detail:\u00a0Low Next, these settings should either be turned off or tuned down as low as possible. High quality shadows and reflections are generally the culprits when it comes to poor performance on lower-end systems, so make sure to tackle those first. Anisotropic Filtering:\u00a04x Dynamic Shadows:\u00a0Off Soft Shadows:\u00a0Off Screen Space Reflections:\u00a0Off Distortion:\u00a0Off Low FX:\u00a0On And finally, since the graphical issues have been tackled, there are a few performance-related settings that need to be addressed as well. Resolution Percentage:\u00a0100% Max Foreground FPS:\u00a0120\/60 Max Background FPS:\u00a08 Frame Generation:\u00a0On NVIDIA DLSS:\u00a0Off NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency:\u00a0Enabled + Boost Generally, your graphics driver should pick out the best settings for your system, but if not, this is the ideal place to start at. If you feel like your game's performance isn't being affected too much, you can perhaps tweak these settings and turn them up a little higher each time to get an ideal balance between graphical integrity and seamless performance. Best Diablo 4 settings for high-end systems When it comes to higher-end systems, you should have a lot more flexibility with your settings. While the performance settings are largely the same, the graphical settings will be changed based on whether your system specifications are at the recommended requirements or far beyond that. If your system is beyond the recommended requirements, then your settings should look a little something like this. Texture Quality:\u00a0High Shadow Quality:\u00a0High Shader Quality:\u00a0High SSAO Quality:\u00a0High Fog Quality:\u00a0High Clutter Quality:\u00a0High Fur Quality:\u00a0High Water Simulation Quality:\u00a0High Anti-Aliasing Quality:\u00a0High Physics Quality:\u00a0High Particles Quality:\u00a0High Reflection Quality:\u00a0High Geometric Complexity:\u00a0High Terrain Geometry Detail:\u00a0High Anisotropic Filtering:\u00a016x Dynamic Shadows:\u00a0On Soft Shadows:\u00a0On Screen Space Reflections:\u00a0On Distortion:\u00a0On Low FX:\u00a0Off If your graphics driver chooses the highest settings for you, download the high-quality assets (around 45 GB) to make Diablo 4 look stunning. These changes are ideal for having a fun game experience because Diablo 4 is quite long and the ending will leave you wanting more, possibly keeping the game open for an expansion as its predecessors have done.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Diablo-4-best-settings.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893025"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893025"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":893208,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893025\/revisions\/893208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893025"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=893025"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=893025"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=893025"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=893025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
