Pathologic 3 system requirements

The Pathologic series must be among the most stressful games I've ever played, and yet it is that desperate battle that fuels its dark allure. Fortunately, the Pathologic 3 system requirements aren't stressful in the slightest, granting even entry-level gaming rigs to pick up the mantle of the Bachelor.

That said, you will need a certain level of endurance if you want to make it through all 12 days of the Pathologic 3 storyline as the Sand Plague spreads and whole districts of the city burn down. You won't need the best graphics card from our buying guide if you want to render plague clouds at their best, but you'll need a fairly decent setup to meet the game's recommended specs, which are a fair step up from the 2019 Pathologic 2 system requirements.

Here are the Pathologic 3 system requirements:

The Pathologic 3 minimum requirements are very much like the other Pathologic titles in the series: incredibly low, and vague on the specific CPU. According to the developer, you'll only need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 GPU and 8GB of RAM to get the game running, alongside an Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor. As Ice-Pick Lodge hasn't listed a specific CPU, it's likely that an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 5 140 - both of which are 3GHz processors - will be compatible, considering that Pathologic 2 hinted at similar processors.

As for the Pathologic 3 recommended specs, we see a fairly considerable jump where the graphics card is concerned, but otherwise, the overall requirements remain below what your average modern title might call for. You'll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU paired with an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 CPU (such as an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 1700) and 16GB of RAM.

Despite the interwoven nature of the game's characters, plot, and setting, the Pathologic 3 download size only requires 25GB of storage space. The developer has made the recommendation that the game be installed on an SSD for performance benefits, so make sure you check our buying guides for the best gaming SSD if you're in need of an upgrade.

Combating the Sand Plague and keeping your favorite characters alive without succumbing to infection yourself can be an incredibly overwhelming task, so make sure you take to it in the best gaming chair for comfort, and with the best gaming headset equipped from our buying guides to further immerse yourself in the dark fantasy of Pathologic 3.
