Total War: WARHAMMER III: PC requirements & hardware guide

Measure campaign and battle performance separately.

Measure campaign and battle performance separately. Use the source notes and the tests below to research the PC you need.

Published requirements and known gaps

The boxes show the requirements recorded in our source-linked catalogue. Missing fields remain unspecified; a broad hardware family or an API description is not an exact model recommendation.

Minimum

CPUIntel i3 / Ryzen 3 series
GPUGTX 900 series / RX 400 series / Iris Xe
RAM6 GB

Recommended

CPUIntel i5 / Ryzen 5 series
GPUGTX 1660 Ti / RX 5600 XT / Arc A750
RAM8 GB
Important context: Generic CPU family tiers, not specific chips. Installation may increase with DLC.

Build estimate not assessed. This page helps you research requirements and hardware. A game-specific Build Finder recommendation is not available yet; published minimums alone do not establish an FPS prediction.

Measure campaign and battle performance separately

Compare the same campaign save and a repeatable battle setup. Record army sizes and whether the result describes turn processing or rendered FPS.

Simulation speed is a separate result

Compare the same save and time a repeatable interval at a recorded simulation speed. Measure rendered FPS separately. Lowering resolution can help identify a graphics workload, but it does not establish that turns or simulation will progress faster.

A repeatable comparison

  1. Record the exact game version, CPU, GPU, memory configuration and settings.
  2. Use the same save, scene or activity where practical; note anything that cannot be held constant.
  3. Change one setting or rendering resolution, then compare sustained performance and pauses separately.
  4. Check temperatures, memory pressure and background work before attributing a problem to one part.

Storage and setup

The catalogue space guide is 120 GB. Treat it as an installation-planning reference, not a total PC drive size or a measured current download. Small installations may be rounded up in the catalogue. Check the publisher notes and launcher for exact content, updates and additional space.

Check the game’s current operating-system and platform requirements directly. Historical game specifications may name Windows versions that are no longer supported by the distribution client. A specification for one edition, branch or platform does not certify another.

Before paying for a PC or upgrade

A fast battle benchmark does not establish campaign turn speed. Price the CPU platform as well as the GPU, and check space for your chosen content.

Ask for the full processor and graphics-card models, RAM stick configuration, available installation-drive space and power-supply model. Price any motherboard, memory, cooling or power changes needed for an upgrade. Similar product-family names and equal VRAM capacities do not establish equal performance.

Use our requirements and benchmark checklist to assess evidence, and our first gaming PC guide to budget for the complete setup. No hands-on benchmark results or guaranteed FPS figures are claimed.
