You should put the test in a new thread. Some of the newbies will not see it in this one.
Are Closed End Game Beta Testers still bound by NDA that they may shed pc performance to the topic?
Yes we are but some on the forum have not been complying.
It is legitimate, some kid uses his mum’s credit card to get early access and finds out his PC won’t run it.
They have already tested and tested and tested on lots of peoples PC, they have to know what are the minimum requirements by now.
Every major game that I know has these requirements, even other Blizzard games, so your comment is pointless.
Game hasn’t been released yet, and won’t be for another 6 months. The system requirements will be released in the future, once the game is close to being finalized and they can give more precise requirements. How can you be so clueless to not know how games are produced? Talk about pointless comments.
Developing a game to be released in about 6 months, sure as hell they know minimum and optimal requirements.
Any change that significangly changes that is a big one and is attempted to be avoided.
Having said that, D4 requirement will not be comparable to D3 requirements. D2r already demands much more (especially graphics) than D3 does.
So, D2r requirements might be closer to D4 requirements.
I extracted system requirements for Press Preview build of the game from this stream:
Skip Forward to min 17:00
Our guy PezRadar said in chat that this requirements are not final and are only for that preview build of the game.

I would expect Haswell to be the actual cutoff in case they need to make use of AVX2 for any reason. Hopefully they don’t need to, but I guess that ultimately depends on the engine used. Either way, for the other esoteric instruction sets Haswell is generally the cutoff for modern games, and Blizzard’s modern games are sporting minimum system requirements along those lines (do not expect Diablo 4 to be supported on Windows 7 or 8, however).
I would expect the minimum on the AMD side for GPUs to be the R500 series. That’s several years old at this point and is literally bottom of the barrel in terms of performance. AMD hasn’t had good luck with mainstream GPU offerings up until recently as even their 5700XT cards were barely middle of the road performance.
On the nVidia side the minimum will almost certainly be a GTX 960 or better. nVidia hasn’t made new Kepler drivers for a while now, so that forces the mimum GPU requirement upward by proxy.
If they’re crashing at any point just sitting in town, that’s a code issue and/or memory leak. 8 GB total RAM will be the minimum and is really pushing it for 64-bit gaming, with the recommended RAM being 16 GB or more. The higher the resolution the more RAM you’ll need.
Special note regarding GPUs: Nearly all of Blizzard’s modern games require a GPU with 3 GB VRAM minimum now. Most in the last few generations fit that bill with only a few truly cheapo versions dipping below that.
In any case, if you are sporting a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge (2xxx/3xxx series Intel CPU respectively) system, don’t expect for your system to be supported. Haswell/Broadwell is generally the cutoff for most games these days.
I know OLED has true blacks, but it still has burn-in risk and playing games with static HUDs damages them over time. Burn in with OLED is cumulative, not just session specific. Unfortunately just like plasma, it’s a technology that looks the best, but has the worst downsides to go with it. If they could overcome the burn-in risks, OLED would be the only way to go. Mini/Micro LED at least brings much improvement to the table and at a more reasonable cost. I just wish so many of the good displays weren’t curved.
You get headroom. The 4090 even at 4k60 is overkill for the most part. It’s mainly designed for those wanting to play at or near 4k120.
Eeeeh…no. Remember, nVidia no longer makes drivers for Kepler or earlier. You can expect system requirements on that front to mirror D2R for minimums. AMD doesn’t make drivers for non-GCN cards anymore either, which assuming GCN 1.0 GPUs end up on the minimum requirements list, put the bare minimum at the Radeon HD 7950 on the AMD side.
Ironically, D2R isn’t more graphically demanding. D3 brings my GPU to 50-55C while D2R leaves my GPU at 35-40C and barely uses it. D2R is entirely CPU bound. Most of Blizzards games are actually.

Since you can preorder the product already - and spend up to 99$ - it would be decent to provide customers with the information.

I thought everyone knew about Can You Run It, veteran and newbies alike. Especially since it covers so many games, old and new.
I was merely quoting what was listed on the Can You Run It webpage for Diablo IV.
The operative phrase is: "Predicted Requirements".
D4 release is in June, why not wait 4 months and get both D4 and a gaming rig on a Black Friday deal.
Yes, you CAN pre-order. It doesn’t mean you have to. As I said, if your computer is so rickety that you’re worried about it running a game from a company that has historically had low system requirements, then you shouldn’t pre-order it. Or, upgrade your pc to something better. Any decent modern system will be able to run D4.

Maybe the people playing it can only afford the base game, and only have a rickety old pc.
You are just one of these people that are always right. So you are right. I will tell all my friends that asked that they will have to wait, and not buy it for a Christmas present for their adult children.

To Wombat and Wolf: a computer being rickety or not has nothing to do with meeting minimum requirements.
Not a Mac, I’ll tell you that.

True. At least that info is also stated on the preorder page.

So we have some minimum system requirements, but curious about what kind of performance you can expect at a decent resolution, personally I play most games at 1440 ultrawide (3440x1440) @upto 144Hz - AMD 5800x - 3080-ti and 32GB 3800Mhz ram. Will this run like a dream, or be clunky as hell ? - guess I’ll find out from 17th, but some official specs for higher resolutions would be nice.
