Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s release date is imminent, and to help players prepare, BioWare has released the game’s PC system requirements. These are rather in-depth, giving players a look at what benchmarks they need to hit in order to achieve minimum graphical fidelity up to ultra settings at 2160p. Additionally, BioWare has offered information on the specs needed to hit various ray tracing settings.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard PC specs – Ray Tracing Off

The first set of PC requirements for Dragon Age: The Veilguard highlight the specs you need in order to play the game with ray tracing turn off. At the low end of the spectrum is a GPU like the 2014 GTX 970 and the 2017 i5-8400, meaning it should be possible for quite a few players to experience the game, albeit at the worst settings.

The next table shows the PC requirements for Dragon Age: The Veilguard with ray tracing on. According to the information provided by BioWare, in order to make this work, you’ll need to be hitting at least 2K resolutions. At the high end, anticipate 30fps, although everything else will be cranked to maximum.

The social media post by BioWare notes that RT Selective “enables ray tracing features in specific areas that can be take advantage of the feature.” It seems as though outside of these areas players won’t be seeing ray tracing, likely in a bid to conserve system requirements.
