Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("2Ghz Dual-Core CPU") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Dungeon Defenders, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

256 MB min · 512 MB rec
