Players will get new exciting features on PC, including enhanced graphics, support for ultrawide monitors, and improved performance.
However, players have expressed frustration following its PC release as the game does not seem to support systems with only 4GB of VRAM.
God Of War Ragnarok Will Not Support 4GB VRAM
Finally, after nearly seven years, God of War Ragnarok is available on PC with some new and exciting features.
The PC version of this action-adventure game will support ultrawide monitor and improved performance with technologies like NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
Unfortunately, the game does not seem to support systems with only 4GB of VRAM, preventing players from exploring the game without upgrading their hardware.
Players are frustrated because other massive games, such as Black Myth: Wukong and Red Dead Redemption 2, support systems with 4GB of VRAM.
Very interesting! This game won’t run on GTX 1650 while AlanWake2 and Wukong run on this GPU and what’s worse is that the game runs on PS4 with ease! I’m starting to get disappointed with Sony!😤👎#GodofWarRagnarok ,#PS5,#PC,#Videogames pic.twitter.com/lb3Gv7TSD6
