Our verdict
Needs a mid-range graphics card
A budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is below its minimum on video memory at 1080p; 60 FPS needs about an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6800.

Check My PC →What limits performance in Dragon's Dogma 2
The graphics card: frame rates in Dragon's Dogma 2 rise with GPU speed until about 72 FPS in cities, where the processor takes over.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6800; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is below its minimum on video memory.
Processor (CPU)
Limits above ~72 FPS in cities
In Gamers Nexus's test of the city of Vernworth with three pawns (launch build) at 1080p, Dragon's Dogma 2 levels off at about 72 FPS with a Ryzen 5 7600X and about 86 with the fastest processor tested (Ryzen 7 7800X3D): past that point, a faster graphics card adds nothing. Figures on this page stop at that limit, labelled in cities; away from towns the graphics card is the limit, and fast cards run higher. The FPS calculators work the limit out for your own processor.

Video memory (VRAM)
8 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 8 GB of video memory. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Dragon's Dogma 2
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Dragon's Dogma 2 offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 8 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
- 4Above about 72 FPS in cities, graphics settings stop helping: the processor is the limit there. Settings that add work for the processor, such as crowd density, are the ones to lower if Dragon's Dogma 2 has them.
