Victoria 3 — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.

System requirements — Victoria 3
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.

|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows® 10 Home 64 Bit | Windows® 10 64 Bit or Windows® 11 |
| Processor | Intel® Core™ i5-3470 | AMD® FX™ 9370 (AVX support required) | Intel® Core™ i5-6600K | AMD® Ryzen™ 5 2600X (AVX support required) |

Hardware demand level
High — estimated from the graphics card named in the recommended requirements above (GTX 1660). 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 Victoria 3.
