The Elder Scrolls Online: system requirements for the game

The online version of the popular gaming universe did not immediately win its army of fans, especially in Russia. The reasons are a high price for the starter pack (and there are still not cheap DLS), lack of localization and completely redesigned mechanics of skills in comparison with the classic TES games. However, it's been three years already, and prices have fallen. A fresh stream of gamers rushed into the game and the line returned to popular search engine queries: "What are the minimum system requirements for The Elder Scrolls Online?".

Software

So, what is waiting for from your computer game The Elder Scrolls Online? System requirements vary greatly depending on which settings you are going to play. Let's start with your platform. As the minimum requirement is specified by Windows 7. Developers used the latest technology when creating their project, so you will need a modern OS to support the necessary drivers.

The recommended requirements are listed in Windows 8.1. A good choice, given that the basic version of the G8 was recognized as a failure even by the creators. However, as you can see, the performance on the "top ten" to which all the official operating systems should have been updated is not guaranteed, which brings us back to the original version.

For fans of technology with the logo of "bitten apple" The Elder Scrolls Online system requirements also low. You will need OS X version from 10.9 and higher.

Processor and RAM

The first important component of the hardware of your PC is the CPU. Without it, the game will work too slowly to get at least some pleasure from it. First of all, this parameter affects the speed of loading new screens and starting the game.

No matter what technique you use, The Elder Scrolls Online system requirements are very modest. In order to run the game at minimum settings, you need to have a minimum 2-core processor of the i3 generation. As the recommended requirements, it is proposed to use a quad-core processor with a frequency of 2.3 GHz (i5).

With RAM everything is much easier. It is not a mandatory attribute for the game, so developers expect to use only 4 GB at any level of graphics and performance. However, given that now a lot of RAM is consumed by third-party programs (OS, Skype, gaming), it's best to have a small stock of 6 GB.

Graphic arts

A video processor is the main component with which you may have problems in The Elder Scrolls Online. The system requirements for this game, relating to graphics, vary greatly. This happens depending on the settings.

For The Elder Scrolls Online, system requirements require a graphics card compatible with DirectX 11.0. Of the physical parameters, the card must have 1 GB of memory and correspond to the generation of GeForce 460. On the one hand, this reduces the load on the CPU. On the other hand, this condition makes it impossible to run the game on a medium-sized laptop.

For the game at the maximum settings, the developers stated the following requirements: a video card with 2 GB of memory, and the quality of the assembly and the materials used - the minimum generation of the GTX 750. And this parameter makes you think. On the one hand, the project "Witcher 3" released almost at the same time has better graphics, but it can work well on machines that do not meet the system requirements at all. On the other hand, you can not download a trial pirated version of TES: Online, which means you'll have to carefully compare the parameters of your PC before buying the game.
