Dawn of War III PC System requirements

Last update: 24 April 2017

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War III is a real-time strategy (RTS) that uses quite an advanced graphic engine. The game, especially unit models, are well-made and the optimization of the game is decent as well. The game sometimes loses smoothness and drops frames, especially during bigger encounters where a lot is happening on the screen, but this problem is visible in any modern RTS game. The following guide was prepared on a middle-tier PC, equipped with i5-3470 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Gaming G1 and 16GB of RAM. This machine was capable of running the game smoothly, in 1080p. There were few minor problems with the performance of the game, when it dropped to around 40 frames per second.
