Darksiders System Requirements FAQ

Can I run Darksiders on a low-end PC?
If your PC meets the minimum requirements (Intel Pentium IV 3.2 GHz/AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 1GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6800/ATI Radeon X1600XT with 256MB VRAM), you should be able to run Darksiders at lower settings. However, performance may be limited.
What GPU do I need for Darksiders?
At a minimum, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or an ATI Radeon X1600XT with 256MB of VRAM. For a better experience, an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX or an ATI Radeon HD 4800 with 512MB VRAM is recommended.
How much RAM does Darksiders need?
Darksiders requires a minimum of 1GB of RAM. However, 2GB of RAM is recommended for smoother gameplay and better performance, especially at higher settings.
Will Darksiders run on integrated graphics?
It's unlikely Darksiders will run well on integrated graphics. The game requires a dedicated graphics card with at least 256MB of VRAM, which most integrated solutions lack. You may experience very low framerates or be unable to launch the game.
What is the best graphics settings for Darksiders?
The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, try high settings. If you meet the minimum specs, start with low settings and gradually increase them until you find a balance between visual quality and performance.
