What are the Runescape system requirements? While Runescape is a game filled with in-depth gameplay mechanics, it doesn’t require complex or powerful hardware to play. With Runescape Dragonwinds now on the horizon and packing PC specs that are more in line with modern 3D games, it makes the standard Runescape requirements look ancient.
Runescape is one of the best free PC games of all time, and both Runescape 3 and Old School Runescape follow the same set of system requirements. The specs below apply to both games regardless of whether they are downloaded via Steam or the Jagex Launcher.
Here are the Runescape system requirements:
| Minimum | |
| OS | Windows Vista or higher (64-bit) |
| GPU | GeForce 400 Intel HD 4000 AMD Radeon 7000 |
| CPU | Intel Core i3 2.4GHz or better AMD 2.4GHz or better |
| RAM | 4GB |
| Storage | 8GB |
Take our Runescape system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Runescape?
The Runescape minimum requirements can be easily cleared by any gaming laptop or PC from the last decade. You only need an Intel Core i3 or AMD processor capable of 2.4 GHz or better.
On the graphical front, you need an Nvidia 400, Intel HD 4000, or AMD Radeon 7000 or better. All of these models are at least a decade old, if not closing in on 15 years old. On the RAM front, just 4GB is needed.
There are no Runescape recommended specs currently available. The saving grace here is that the game does have a built-in benchmark tool that can quickly choose performance settings based on your hardware.
Runescape’s download size currently sits at 8GB. You can install the game to both an HDD and an SDD, and it’s one of a few games where we don’t necessarily recommend an SSD for performance boosts, as they would be fractional at best.
Downloading Runescape outside of Steam requires installing the Jagex Installer, and the total download size is also dependent on whether you also have Old School Runescape installed.
