Nioh 3's minimum PC tier targets 1080p at 30 fps on the Lightest preset with upscaling and requires Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD.
Nioh 3's official minimum PC tier requires Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, 125 GB of available storage, and an SSD. It targets 1080p at 30 fps using the Lightest preset with upscaling. Meeting the list is therefore not evidence that higher settings or 60 fps will be stable.
Official minimum specification
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 125 GB available |
| Drive | SSD required |
| Network | Broadband connection |
The listing recommends multi-channel memory and warns that gameplay can be affected when SSD performance is insufficient. It also says frame generation is supported. Frame generation support should not be confused with a guarantee that the minimum GPU reaches a higher native frame rate.
What to compare before installing
Check VRAM as well as the GPU family: both named minimum cards have 6 GB. Leave room beyond the 125 GB figure for installation and patches. If a system only meets the floor, start with the published Lightest/upscaling baseline and judge frame delivery in a repeatable combat area before raising settings.
