RIFT System Requirements FAQ
Can I run RIFT on a low-end PC?
RIFT can run on relatively older hardware. Check the minimum requirements: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, GeForce 8800/Radeon HD 2900, and 2GB RAM. If your PC meets or exceeds these, you should be able to play, though likely at lower settings.
What GPU do I need for RIFT?
The minimum GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon HD 2900. For a better experience, aim for a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or ATI Radeon HD 5770 or better.
How much RAM does RIFT need?
RIFT requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM. However, 4GB of RAM is recommended for smoother gameplay and better performance, especially in crowded areas.
Will RIFT run on integrated graphics?
While technically possible if your integrated graphics meet the minimum shader model requirements of the GeForce 8800/Radeon HD 2900, performance will likely be poor. A dedicated graphics card is highly recommended for a playable experience.
