HairyblueBaldur's Gate 3 PC tech review: polish that puts other AAA games to shame
Baldur's Gate 3 is a game of the year contender - but how does its PC release stack up in terms of visuals and performa…
GreenAlexWife and I are loving it but it needs some tunning for sure. Performance struggles and crashes are pretty common, and my wife clipped through a door just after the tutorial section. Didn't do anything crazy, just walked right on through a locked door.
Harrison [He/Him]Crazy, haven’t experienced anything like that. Do you meet the minimum specs, and are you running it on an HDD or an SSD?
I3 12100f, gtx 1060 3gb, and ssd on Linux. We since switched to steam deck where we have only had 1 crash. I should be hitting a bit over the minimum specs but my bet is I was running out of vram in cutscenes where the detail is higher.

There’s your answer,
Nah the game runs fine on SteamDeck, which is Linux.
4GB of VRAM is in the minimum requirements, seeing as you have a 12th gen Intel you really might want to look at getting a GPU upgrade, you can find used 6600/XT’s or 6700’s for pretty cheap used and that would roughly double (or more) your performance in pretty much every game.
That is a good catch, I clearly glossed over that. I recently gave most of my rig a facelift as I was bottlenecked by my old CPU. A GPU is 100% next in line.
