Wuthering Waves is all the buzz in the JRPG community now. The game is available on PC and runs well on somewhat modest hardware. Gamers with low-end PCs can still expect a fairly decent experience with a few tweaks to the video settings. Fortunately, the game doesn't push the limits of graphics technology with reality-bending visuals, which helps with the performance.
Those on entry-level hardware, however, cannot run it at high framerates. You'll have to resort to a sub-60 FPS experience if you're still sticking to Pascal or GCN-level graphics cards.
In this article, we have outlined the ideal video settings for such PCs to get a balance between visual quality and performance.
Wuthering Waves plays well on low-end PCs
Gamers on low-end PCs can still get a decent framerate in Wuthering Waves since the game isn't too demanding. Its visual style makes it much more forgiving compared to titles that push the boundaries of realism.
What are the system requirements for Wuthering Waves?
The system requirements for the JRPG are slightly on the higher end, however. You need a capable system to play the game at decent framerates. We have listed the minimum and recommended hardware from Kuro Games below.
Minimum system requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit
- CPU: Intel i5 9400 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700
- GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD RX 570 8 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 30 GB HDD
Recommended system requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit
- CPU: Intel i7 9700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700
- GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 2060 6 GB or AMD RX 5700 XT 8 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 30 GB HDD
Wuthering Waves graphics settings for low-end PCs
At the bare minimum, Kuro Games has recommended an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 570 8 GB. Gamers with anything at this level or lower will have to resort to the lowest settings in the game. We recommend setting the framerate cap to 45 FPS instead of 60 to avoid excessive screen tear.
The game supports both Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, which comes in handy on these weaker GPUs. We recommend the Balanced preset for GPUs close to the minimum requirement. The game doesn't look too sharp with this option applied, but it's necessary to maintain a decent framerate.
The detailed graphics settings for low-end PCs are as follows:
- Frame Rate: 45fps
- Shadow Quality: Low
- Special Effects Quality: Low
- LOD Bias: Low
- Capsule AO: Off
- Volumetric Fog: Off
- Motion Blur: Off
- NVIDIA DLSS: Balanced (on Nvidia GPUs)
- AMD FSR: Balanced (on AMD GPUs)
- Anti-Aliasing: On
- V-Sync: On
- NVIDIA Reflex: On+Boost (if you have an NVIDIA GPU)
With the above settings combination applied, the JRPG may not look exceptional when playing it on PC. However, it is playable and you can still expect a decent experience at 1080p resolutions.
