System requirements — Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

Hardware demand level

Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (GTX 960). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.

Benchmark status

Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
