Setting and environment

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot places its action in an anime styled world, and the player works through one continuous open world. There are 10 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a third person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot can never assume the player will stop and let it load.

Why Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is demanding

Very little is asked of the GPU by Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 280X scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot at the floor and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot at the recommended tier are not the same experience. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot takes about 40 GB of disk space.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot runs on modest graphics, with GeForce GTX 750 Ti or Radeon HD 7950 enough to meet the minimum. Add 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.83x
1440pRuns well1.59x
4KBelow the bar0.71x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
