Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 final PC specs revealed

With its launch just around the corner, developer The Chinese Room has finally pulled back the curtain on the full PC system requirements for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. The detailed specs give us a clear picture of the hardware needed to run this Unreal Engine 5 title, from a basic 1080p experience all the way up to high-framerate 4K.

Built on Unreal Engine 5 and utilising its key features like Lumen and Nanite, it's no surprise that you'll need some decent hardware to get the most out of the game's visuals. For those just looking to get in the door, the minimum requirements are pretty forgiving. To hit 1080p at 30 fps on Low settings, you'll need something like an Intel Core i3-8350K or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, 8 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480.

To hit the sweet spot of 1080p at 60fps on High settings, the developers recommend a more modern setup. This calls for a mid-range CPU like an Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 16 GB of RAM, and a graphics card in the class of an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. Interestingly, the developers note that this same hardware (with the Nvidia GPU) can push 1440p at 60 fps on Ultra settings by enabling DLSS Performance Mode.

For those wanting to jump to 4K, you'll need to bring some serious firepower. To achieve native 4K at 60 fps on High settings, the recommended spec jumps up to a high-end CPU like an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D, paired with a top-tier graphics card like an Nvidia RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Lastly, the developers have outlined what it will take to hit 4K on Ultra settings with high frame rates. This top-tier spec requires the same i7-13700K or 5800X3D, but calls for an Nvidia RTX 5080. With this setup, and by leveraging DLSS 4 in Performance Mode with Multi-Frame Generation, players can reportedly hit 240 fps.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is set to launch on October 21st.
