God of War III was originally released for PlayStation, but to play it on PC you need to use an emulator like RPCS3, as there is no official PC release[4][5]. System requirements for emulated play differ from native PC ports due to high CPU demands and emulation overhead. The following requirements are suggested by community sources and emulator benchmarks for running God of War III via RPCS3 on Windows.
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) recommended[7][8]
- Processor (CPU):
- Minimum: Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD FX-6300[8]
- Recommended: Intel Core i7-4770K, Ryzen 7 5800X, or newer, with high clock speeds and multiple cores (8+ cores ideal for smoother emulation)[4][7]
- Memory (RAM):
- Minimum: 8 GB
- Recommended: 16 GB or more[7]
- Graphics (GPU):
- Minimum: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7850[8]
- Recommended: NVIDIA GTX 1060, RTX 3070, or AMD RX 580[4][7]
- DirectX: Version 11[7][8]
- Storage: At least 35 GB free for the game and emulator files[7][8]
- Sound Card: DirectX compatible
Emulation performance is highly dependent on CPU speed; users report needing CPUs such as Intel i9-9900K, Ryzen 5800X, or newer for stable 45–60 fps, especially in demanding action scenes[4][5]. Lower-end CPUs may encounter crashes or significant drops in frame rate.
Other tips for improved performance include running the emulator on an SSD, using Vulkan as the renderer, and updating GPU drivers. Note that system requirements may vary depending on your emulator configuration, the version of RPCS3 used, and the specific game build.
