Can it run
Baldur's Gate 3 is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RX 6600 (about $208 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and the Arc B570 (about $289 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.

Smooth = 60+ fps · Playable = 40+ · Lower = 25+ · No = under 25. ~ = estimate; ! = less video memory than the game wants at that resolution. Native resolution, high or ultra settings, no upscaling. Estimates scale each card's 11-game average from the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026) by how demanding Baldur's Gate 3 is (formula).

Baldur's Gate 3 is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RX 6600 (about $208 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1080p, and the Arc B570 (about $289 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 60+ fps at 1440p.
For 60+ fps at 1080p on high settings, about RX 6600-level performance or faster (about 70 fps (estimate)).
About 8 GB at 1080p, 10 GB at 1440p and 14 GB at 4K on high textures. Cards with less can still run it with textures turned down.
Baldur's Gate 3 leans hard on the processor, especially in busy scenes. The fps numbers here come from a Ryzen 7 9800X3D test PC; with an older or budget processor you'll see less, whatever the graphics card. For this game, aim for a Ryzen 5 9600X or faster.
