Total War: PHARAOH System Requirements

To play Total War: PHARAOH, your PC must meet the minimum system requirements: Intel Core i5-4570 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 2GB, AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB, or Intel Arc A380 6GB GPU, and 8GB of RAM. If your PC falls below these specs, you may experience performance issues or be unable to run the game.

For minimum settings, you'll need at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 2GB, AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB, or Intel Arc A380 6GB. For recommended settings, aim for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB.

Total War: PHARAOH requires a minimum of 8GB of RAM. While the recommended specs also list 8GB, having more RAM (16GB or more) can improve performance, especially at higher settings or with larger armies.

While the Intel Arc A380 is listed as a minimum GPU, generally, integrated graphics solutions are not recommended for Total War: PHARAOH. You will likely experience significant performance issues and may not be able to run the game smoothly, even at the lowest settings. A dedicated graphics card is highly recommended.

The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, you should be able to play on medium to high settings. If you only meet the minimum specs, start with low settings and gradually increase them until you find a balance between visual quality and performance. Pay attention to settings like unit size, shadow quality, and anti-aliasing, as these can significantly impact performance.
