Thanks for the reply. I cant post in that forum? It says “a valid Diablo IV PC key” needs to be linked to my account?

If you google: diablo 4 system requirements, you’ll get several hits.
This is an official one: Diablo® IV System Requirements - Blizzard Support
(Remember to scroll on the page).
… and you need a game key in order to post in the D4 forum.

I checked a benchmark comparison of your CPU. It’s better than the one listed in the recommended specs. You don’t specify you GPU, so no way to know how that is.

Thank you. I dont think it has a graphics card. it just says AMD Radeon graphics so im assuming its integrated with CPU?

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor with a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz and a boost clock speed of up to 4.6 GHz. It features integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, 20MB of total cache (4MB L2 + 16MB L3), and a 65W TDP.

Unless his system has a dedicated GPU, then this CPU uses an IGP and falls below the requirement for the GPU as Diablo 4 does not run on IGPs.

If the system has an available PCIe x16 slot for a GPU, it can be upgraded to use one. The game will run fairly poorly unless you lower most graphics settings due to the meager 16 GB system RAM though. Playable, yes, once you put in a real GPU, but it’ll be a slog at times as they’re going to hit swap pretty frequently since Windows 11 is a memory hog.

You should meet the requirements. I wouldn’t go hi res and expect some tweaking.

Onboard graphics will be a gamble. It usually shares system RAM for VRAM which is not optimal and much slower. D4 has alot of issues in the video department so don’t be surprised if it glitches or drops the game consistenly. Even dedicated cards have issues. I had to roll back the driver on my 4080 to get it stable.

If it has a spare PCIe slot for a dedicated graphics card I would seriously consider adding one.

When D4 came out I tested it on 3 different computers. My computer with a rtx-3070 8gb. My what I call it my work or backroom computer with a rx 6500 xt 4gb. Then a older one with R9-290 4gb. They all ran the game with really no problems. The R9-290 didn’t have the latest drivers either. They did have the most newest drivers for that video card that were like 2 yrs old.

What I’m saying is you don’t have run out buy a top of the line video card. You only really need like a GTX-1070 or 1080 card. most of the times you can get them under $100.

This is good advice. I have an older computer with am AMD 5700, DDR4 and Nvidia 1080 that runs it just fine. In fact, I have had no issues with that system running D4 whereas my main with intel 14900k/DDR5/Nvidia 4080 has had driver and VM issues.

Have been doing this for a very long time. I’m not going to run out and buy a video card for what $500, $600 or $700. To do what, that my 3070 can just as good. Plus I got it used too.

Change your VM page file size (minimum and total allotment) to the following amount: (VRAM total + 0.5x System RAM total). The VM issues are because D4 dumps textures directly into VM instead of swapping to available system RAM like every other properly coded game does. When it does a swap of textures in a GPU with a lot of VRAM, such as in the case of a 4080 or 4090 like I have, it’s too much too fast for the Windows VM allocator to handle it and D4 “runs out of virtual memory” as a result. We shouldn’t have to touch this setting, but it is what it is.

Also you may be losing a lot of performance with virtually all games. It apparently has come to light that on Intel (and only Intel) systems, even if you have Resizeable BAR enabled in the BIOS and you use an nVidia GPU, by default nVidia’s drivers do not enable ReBAR. You have to download nVidia Profile Inspector and enable it in the Global profile, which will then propogate to all sub-profiles for individual games. Yes, it’s yet another moldy layer to the 18-layer cake of failure on nVidia’s part.

The most stable two drivers for the 4080/4090 and D4 are 561.09 and 566.03, so unless you absolutely need bleeding edge drivers, for now those are the two worth sticking with.
