Expansion - Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone System Requirements

While the minimum requirements are relatively low, performance can be affected by large-scale simulations. If your PC barely meets the minimum specs, expect longer loading times and potentially lower framerates, especially in the late game. Consider lowering graphics settings.

At a minimum, you'll need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 (1.28 GB), an AMD HD 5850 (1 GB), or an Intel Iris Xe G7. For a smoother experience, especially at higher resolutions, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 (1.28 GB) or an AMD HD 7970 (3 GB) is recommended.

The game requires at least 4 GB of RAM to run. However, 6 GB is recommended for optimal performance, especially when playing with numerous mods or at higher game speeds.

The minimum requirement lists Intel Iris Xe G7 which is an integrated graphics solution. However, performance might be limited, especially at higher resolutions or settings. Expect lower framerates and consider playing on lower graphical settings.

If you're struggling with performance, try lowering settings like shadows, water detail, and antialiasing. Experiment with different combinations to find a balance between visual quality and framerate. Also, consider reducing the resolution.
