The Blood of Dawnwalker System Requirements

The final collected PC requirements for The Blood of Dawnwalker list Windows 10 or later, DirectX 12, 16 GB RAM, and 60 GB of SSD space across the published targets. The hardware rises from 1080p at 30 FPS to 4K at 60 FPS, and the final table uses Balanced upscaling. These are requirements and targets, not a guarantee of identical performance in every scene.

The published target table

The collected final table describes four target levels. It pairs 1080p at 30 FPS with Low settings, 1080p at 60 FPS with Medium settings, 1440p at 60 FPS with High settings, and 2160p at 60 FPS with Ultra settings. Each row lists 16 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD storage, and Windows 10 or later with DirectX 12.

Target	Preset	CPU	GPU	VRAM
1080p at 30 FPS	Low	Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X	Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580	6 GB or more
1080p at 60 FPS	Medium	Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X	Nvidia RTX 2060 Super, GTX 1070 Ti, AMD RX 5700, or Intel Arc A750	8 GB or more
1440p at 60 FPS	High	Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X	Nvidia RTX 4060, AMD RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580	8 GB or more
2160p at 60 FPS	Ultra	Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D	Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX 9070	12 GB or more

The table is useful because it separates resolution and frame-rate targets. It avoids presenting one vague minimum. The CPU and GPU listed in a row should be read together with its preset and target, while driver versions, other system components, and the final launch build can still affect the result.

Shared memory and storage requirements

The collected table lists 16 GB of RAM for all four target rows. It also lists 60 GB of available SSD space in every row, so an SSD is part of the stated storage requirement. The table does not provide a final installation-size change after patches or a separate space recommendation for shader caches.

The operating-system requirement is Windows 10 or later with DirectX 12. The official store page repeats Windows 10 and DirectX 12 in its minimum and recommended sections. Extra requirements such as a specific Windows update, driver version, or CPU feature are To be confirmed.

The 1080p at 30 FPS target

The lowest published target uses the Low preset at 1080p and 30 FPS. It lists an Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, an Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580, at least 6 GB of VRAM, 16 GB RAM, and 60 GB on an SSD. This row is the closest match to the minimum-style hardware information in the official store listing.

It should still be read as a target with Balanced upscaling in the final table. It does not prove that every setting can be raised while holding 30 FPS, and it does not describe console performance. A benchmark for an individual PC is To be confirmed until the retail build is tested on that machine.

The 1080p at 60 FPS target

The 1080p at 60 FPS row uses the Medium preset. Its CPU choices are an Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, and its GPU choices are an Nvidia RTX 2060 Super, GTX 1070 Ti, AMD RX 5700, or Intel Arc A750. The table asks for at least 8 GB of VRAM alongside the shared RAM, storage, operating system, and DirectX requirements.

This row is useful for players who value a higher frame-rate target at Full HD. It does not mean every PC with one of those GPUs will perform identically, because the rest of the system and the chosen upscaling behavior matter. Exact image-quality settings and frame-time behavior are To be confirmed.

The 1440p at 60 FPS target

The 1440p at 60 FPS row uses the High preset. It lists an Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, with an Nvidia RTX 4060, AMD RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580. The VRAM line remains at 8 GB or more, while RAM and storage remain 16 GB and 60 GB SSD.

This is the target for players who want a sharper image than 1080p while keeping the published 60 FPS goal. The requirement table does not say that native 1440p rendering is used, since Balanced upscaling is part of the final specification. Native-resolution performance and exact upscaler settings are To be confirmed.

The 4K at 60 FPS target

The 2160p at 60 FPS row uses the Ultra preset and lists the strongest hardware in the table. It pairs an Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX 9070, plus at least 12 GB of VRAM. It still lists 16 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD space, Windows 10 or later, and DirectX 12.

This row should not be turned into a promise of native 4K Ultra at a locked 60 FPS. The final sheet includes Balanced upscaling, and the collected PC Gamer report explains that upscaling is part of why the later GPU requirements are lower than earlier discussion. Final visual quality and sustained retail performance are To be confirmed.

Why the final sheet mentions upscaling

The final hardware table accounts for DLSS, FSR, and XeSS, and its figures use Balanced upscaling settings. That context matters when comparing this table with older posts that may have used different assumptions. Older requirements can describe a different target or a different upscaling preset.

Upscaling changes how a target image is produced, so a GPU listed for 60 FPS should not be compared directly with a native-rendering benchmark. The prepared material does not give a complete per-upscaler setting table or the exact quality mode used on every platform. Those details are To be confirmed.

Official store cross-check

The official Bandai Namco store page repeats a minimum-style configuration with Windows 10 and DirectX 12, an Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 or RX 580, and 60 GB storage. Its recommended configuration uses the i7-11700K or Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB RAM, an RTX 4060, RX 7600 XT, or Arc B580, and the same storage and DirectX family. This matches the lower and 1440p portions of the collected table.

The store page does not replace the four-target table for every resolution. It also does not provide a final independent benchmark or a guarantee about laptop versions of the listed hardware. Laptop performance, driver support, and later patches are To be confirmed.

Current PC answer

A PC with the 1080p Low target begins at an i5-11400F or Ryzen 7 2700X, GTX 1060 or RX 580, 6 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, and 60 GB SSD. Higher targets move through 1080p Medium, 1440p High, and 2160p Ultra with the hardware listed above. Check the final store page and install the latest drivers before making a purchase decision.
