Victoria 3 System Requirements

If your PC meets the *minimum* requirements (Intel Core i3-9100F / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB), 8 GB RAM), you should be able to run the game at lower settings. However, expect longer loading times and potential performance dips, especially in late-game scenarios with large populations and complex economies.

For minimum settings, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) is required. For recommended settings and a smoother experience, aim for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 590 (8GB).

Victoria 3 requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. However, 16 GB of RAM is *highly recommended* for a smoother experience, especially in the late game when the simulation becomes more complex.

While technically possible if your integrated graphics meet the minimum VRAM requirements, playing Victoria 3 on integrated graphics is *not recommended*. You will likely experience significant performance issues, even at the lowest settings. A dedicated graphics card is strongly advised.

The "best" graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, try the 'High' preset. If you're closer to the minimum, start with the 'Low' or 'Medium' preset and adjust individual settings like shadow quality, water detail, and texture quality to find a balance between visual fidelity and performance.
