Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - system requirements | Nightmares Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a standalone expansion to the successful Wolfenstein: The New Order. This first person shooter is powered with id Tech 5 engine, based on OpenGL technology. This guide was prepared with PC version on a computer with Intel Core i5 4460 processor, AMD Radeon R9 270x 2GB graphics card, and 8GB RAM. The game features just enough graphics settings to adjust it to various configurations. Because of the outdated drivers and low V-RAM, the above system, was unable to maintain stable 60 frames per second on the highest settings and FullHD resolution (1920x1080). The highest (Ultra) settings were non-playable despite reaching 30 FPS (because of too low video card memory). The optimum comfort (60 FPS) was achieved on high settings (lowered anti-aliasing). Taking under consideration that the same engine was used in The New Order, such drastic frame drops reflect badly on the game's optimization. However, after setting the options right, so to enjoy smooth gameplay, there were no errors, stuttering, or frame drops. Users of Nvidia graphic cards can use system acceleration with CUDA cores, which can be turned on in display settings.
