Where Winds Meet is looking like it will be a stunning open-world game for PC. Built with Unreal Engine, it features detailed environments, smooth fighting, and movement inspired by Souls games, so it will require some power to run well.
If you’re thinking about playing it, especially at high resolutions or with all the settings turned up, you’ll need to be sure your computer can handle it, or start planning for an upgrade.
Here are the system requirements we currently expect, based on what we’ve seen so far in previews and from other similar open-world RPGs.
Minimum System Requirements (Estimated for Low Settings / 1080p 30-45 FPS)
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
CPU | Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
GPU | GTX 1060 6GB / Radeon RX 580 8GB |
RAM | 16GB |
Storage | ~100GB SSD (Highly Recommended) |
DirectX | DX11 or DX12 |
If your setup is in this ballpark, here's what to expect:
✔ Decent gameplay
✔ Around 1080p with low to medium settings
✘ Ray tracing won't work well
✘ You might see some stuttering if you're using an older hard drive
Recommended System Requirements (1080p High / Stable 60 FPS)
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
CPU | Intel i7-9700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
GPU | RTX 3060 / RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6700 XT |
RAM | 16–32GB |
Storage | NVMe SSD |
DirectX | DX12 |
If your PC has these specs, expect:
✔ Steady 60 FPS with high graphics settings
✔ Quicker loading of game stuff
✔ Textures loading in faster
High-End Requirements (1440p / Ultra Settings)
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
CPU | Intel i5-13600K / Ryzen 7 5800X or newer |
GPU | RTX 4070 / Radeon RX 7800 XT |
RAM | 32GB |
Storage | NVMe SSD (Gen 4 preferred) |
This setup targets:
✔ 1440p High–Ultra
✔ Smooth frame pacing
✔ FSR / DLSS support
4K Next-Gen Settings (With Upscaling Recommended)
Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
CPU | Intel i7-13700K / Ryzen 9 7900X |
GPU | RTX 4070 Ti / 4080 / 7900 XT or better |
RAM | 32–64GB |
Storage | High-speed NVMe SSD |
Even true 4K often looks better with upscaling, like this:
NVIDIA DLSS
AMD FSR
Intel XeSS (if supported)
Will Where Winds Meet Run on a GTX 1650?
Okay, it should run, but keep those settings low.
If you have a GTX 1650, here’s what to expect:
1080p with the lowest settings
You'll probably need DLSS/FSR (if the game supports it)
Expect around 30-45 FPS, but it will change based on where you are in the game.
Laptop Performance Expectations
GPU Tier | Expected Result |
|---|---|
GTX 1650 Laptop | Barely playable |
RTX 3050 / 3050 Ti | 1080p Medium |
RTX 3060 Laptop | 1080p High |
RTX 4060 Laptop | 1080p Ultra or 1440p Medium |
RTX 4070+ Laptop | 1440p Ultra / 4K with upscaling |
Should You Upgrade for This Game?
If you have a mid-range graphics card like an RTX 3060 or RX 6700 or better, you're set.
But, if use:
GTX 1050-1070
AMD RX 580 or older
Intel UHD
Consider thinking about getting a new card.
