Preparing your armies for the battles of Warhammer Realms of Ruin? Like many of the games set in the Age of Sigmar, Realms of Ruin will put a strain on PCs that aren't adequately equipped to handle its large-scale strategy battles. In this guide, we'll lay out the minimum and recommended Warhammer Realms of Ruin PC requirements.
Real-time strategy games like Realms of Ruin pose a unique challenge for optimization. The game's frames per second are often determined by how close to the combat you are. Staying zoomed out is wise from a tactical perspective, but getting close enough to see the blood can be part of the appeal - especially with such cool factions duking it out.
If you're wondering how your PC will hold up against the latest releases, we've got plenty more spec guides right here. Check out the system requirements of Forza Motorsport and Starfield to see if it's time for an upgrade, or get the latest intel with our sister site Gfinity's Realms of Ruin release hub.

If you want to get close enough to smell the mayhem, it's important to hit the game's recommended requirements. The grand armies of the Stormcast Eternals and Disciples of Tzeentch have tons of little details in their armour, weapons, and animations that it would be a shame to miss out on.
It should also be noted that these specs perform best in 1920 x 1080 resolution with settings at High, and will consistently deliver 60 or more frames per second.
