Homeworld 3 System Requirements

To run the Homeworld 3 system requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, an Intel Core i5-8600K CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 40GB of space.

The Homeworld 3 PC requirements are somewhat chunky compared to its predecessors, but only in the RAM department. So long as you have a modern graphics card and a processor that isn't eight years old, you should be able to run the game. 

The Homeworld 3 minimum requirements call for an AMD RX 480 GPU, an AMD RX 5700 CPU, and 12GB of RAM. While this will get you up and running with the game, you will only be playing on the low in-game graphics preset.

To reach the Homeworld 3 recommended specs, the developers have stated that an NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU, an Intel i5-11700K CPU, and 16GB of RAM are needed to ensure smooth gameplay performance.

To play on the absolute highest graphics, you'll need at least an NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and an Intel i7-13700K CPU. However, if you want to play on the Homeworld 3 ultra specs at 2160p on the 'Epic' in-game graphics setting with ray tracing enabled, you'll need an NVIDIA RTX 4080 GPU, and an Intel i7-14900K CPU.
