If you have a low-end or budget PC that has seen better years, there’s good news. Dragon Age Veilguard’s minimum requirements (without raytracing enabled) are surprisingly low. In fact, you won’t even need an SSD to run the game, though we recommend you have that.
As far as GPU is concerned, you could get away with a five-year-old 1650 GTX or Radeon R9 290X.
The recommended requirements for Dragon Age Veilguard on PC aren’t too demanding either, with an RTX 2070 sufficient to get the game running at 1080P / 60 FPS.
However, the requirements increase quite a lot if you want to play Dragon Age Veilguard on PC with raytracing enabled. In terms of GPU, you would at least need an RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800XT.
It’s worth pointing out that none of the listed specifications with raytracing target native 4K at 60 FPS, though you may be able to achieve that with an RTX 4090 or a similarly powerful GPU.
Long story short, Dragon Age Veilguard seems quite well optimized on PC, and with no DRM to hamper performance, you could expect a smooth journey across the land of Thedas.
