Minimum and Recommended Specs (1080p)
| Minimum (1080p, 30fps, low) | Recommended (1080p, 60fps, high) | |
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 11 64-bit |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB AMD Radeon RX 480 Intel Arc A580 AMD Radeon 780M |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT |

| CPU | Intel Core i3 8350K AMD Ryzen 3 3300X |
Intel Core i5 12600K AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| RAM | 8GB | 16GB |
| Storage | 30GB | 30GB |
| Notes | Resizable BAR required with Intel GPU |
For the bare minimum, Bloodlines 2 asks for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, an AMD Radeon RX 480, or an Intel Arc A580 GPU. If you’re using an Intel GPU, remember that Resizable BAR is essential for optimal performance. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon 780M, a mobile integrated GPU often found in laptops and compact PCs, is also listed as a viable option.
Beyond the graphics card, you’ll need an Intel Core i3 8350K or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X CPU, paired with 8GB of RAM. These specifications are quite accessible, making the game playable on many gaming PCs and laptops purchased within the last five years. Expect to achieve around 30 frames per second at 1080p or 720p using low graphic settings with these specs.
Stepping up to the recommended specifications for Bloodlines 2, there’s a noticeable increase in hardware demands, though it remains comparable to many contemporary AAA titles. For your GPU, aim for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. The CPU recommendation is an Intel Core i5 12600K or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. RAM requirements also jump, doubling to 16GB.
These GPUs are frequently seen in today’s recommended spec lists. While the developers haven’t explicitly stated performance targets for these tiers, it’s reasonable to expect around 60 frames per second at 1440p resolution with high graphic settings.
High-End and Ultra Specs (1440p and 4K)
| 2K (1440p, 60fps, high) | 4K (4K, 60fps, high) | Ultra 4K (4K, 240fps, ultra) | |
| OS | Windows 11 | Windows 11 | Windows 11 |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT |
Nvidia geForce RTX 4080 AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 |
| VRAM | At least 8GB | At least 16GB | 16GB |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 12600K AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
Intel Core i7 13700K AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D |
Intel Core i7 13700K AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 16GB |
| Storage | 30GB | 30GB | 30GB |
| Notes | Nvidia DLSS + multi frame gen 4x |
For those targeting the absolute pinnacle of visual fidelity and performance, the **Bloodlines 2 ultra specs** are quite demanding. The highest tier specifically calls for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, paired with an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Achieving the advertised 240 frames per second at 4K will necessitate enabling both Nvidia DLSS super resolution and multi-frame generation features.
The game’s download size is a manageable 30GB. While an SSD isn’t strictly required, we highly recommend upgrading from a traditional hard drive for faster loading times and an overall smoother experience.
