Is there any chance for Dark Souls 3 to run on my PC?
I'd quite have an eye to this game for a while now and I always wanted to buy this game because from what I heard is that this game is so difficult that it will make me kill myself , which is unlike the games I've mostly played. So, I wanted to see if my epic gaming skills can try this game. Even though I haven't touch the other Dark Souls games.

But before I save some money, I wonder if DS3 can run on my:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E5500
GPU: GTX 650
Memory: 2gb ram

If the game can't run on my PC, what are your suggestions or possibly what part of the Dark Souls Series would you all recommend to me? I know I'm not the first one to ask this question, but I'm just quite curious tbh. Any help is very well appreciated. Thanks.

Ohh, sad. I've heard DS1 has a bad PC port tho.

Welp, note taken. Thanks for recommending me DS1 tho. I'll just try to save for that game or upgrade my PC.

Also you no longer can buy it legally because steam store no longer sells it.
Only DS1 remaster is availiable.

It can still run DS3 at pretty much max nearly 60fps though, so it’s the perfect PC for me and didn’t cost me a ridiculous amount of money to build in 2018.

But no, you will not be able to run the game with that PC, especially not with 2GB of RAM

From what I remember, I got 30fps on DS2 with my old prebuilt.
GT 620
2.5GHz Dual Core
4GB DDR2

So with your PC you should be able to run DSR pretty well, as long as that 2GB can hold up, I’m not 100% sure if it will, but buying a couple gigs of DDR2 shouldn’t cost much. You might be able to play DS2 too, if you can deal with sub 60 fps.
Thanks for the advices man. I thought I lost all hope.

You won't be able to run DSR either. You need better CPU and more RAM for 60fps, anything lower will make game slow-mo as game speed is tied to fps.

the video card certanly can handle the game on 1080p or lower with some sacrifices.
But your cpu and ram is the issue.

so save some money and upgrade your cpu also dont be a cheap ♥♥♥♥ a buy a decent motherboard.

Is this for both DS3 and/or DSR?
