Optimal Hardware Suggestions

Overall, the system requirements for World of Warships are what we would call low to medium. Both the CPU and GPU demands are relatively undemanding – you can get away with running the game on an integrated IntelHD 400 graphics. 

Most of the products listed are either no longer actively produced or are hard to come by, which goes to show how most modern machines should handle World of Warships without a hitch.

The only real exception is the whopping 51 GB of storage space required to install and run the game. Make sure you allow for enough space by clearing out old games, notably if you’ve got an SSD or HDD on the smaller side of things.

The minimum requirements will net you around 30 fps running at a resolution of 720p with the settings on low to medium. As always, we recommend toying around with the graphical settings to find a happy medium between performance and graphical fidelity that suits your needs.

Looking to the recommended system requirements, you can expect to hit 60 fps with a resolution of 1080p with the settings pretty much pushed to their limit. 

What Gaming PC Do We Recommend?

To be on the safe side, we recommend opting for a build that includes a dedicated GPU. Not only will this net you better performance playing World of Warships, but the specifications will extend the scope of games you can confidently play.

With that in mind, we recommend our $500 build as a strong starting point for a PC that works well with World of Warships. We’ve allied performance and budget considerations to incorporate components that won’t break the ban, but offer unmatched cost-effective performance for the price.

The build has an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, 8 GB Radeon RX 570 GPU, and a generous 16 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. Not bad for $500 and with plenty of scope for upgrades further down the line if you feel it’s necessary.
