Pax Dei targets modern PC hardware and leans on DirectX 12. The developer lists the current minimum and recommended specs on its official support page.

Pax Dei PC specs at a glance

Component Minimum Recommended

RAM 16 GB 16 GB
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (12 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
VRAM 8 GB minimum 8 GB minimum
Storage SSD with 80 GB free space NVMe SSD with 80 GB free space
OS Windows 10 or higher Windows 10 or higher
DirectX Version 12 Version 12
Internet Broadband connection Broadband connection

Note: A 64‑bit processor and 64‑bit Windows are required.

The minimum spec is designed to run the game with conservative settings and resolution. You need a DX12‑capable GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM and a quad‑core CPU of the i5‑7600K era. An SSD is mandatory to keep load times and streaming stutter in check.

The recommended spec pushes both CPU and GPU up a tier and explicitly calls for an NVMe SSD. Expect smoother frame pacing in busy areas, faster asset streaming, and more headroom for higher visual presets at 1080p or 1440p.

Storage, OS, and DirectX details

  • Storage: Allocate 80GB on a solid‑state drive. On NVMe, install time and in‑game streaming are quicker than on SATA SSDs.
  • Operating system: Windows 10 or newer, 64‑bit only.
  • Graphics API: DirectX 12 is required; older DirectX 11‑only GPUs aren’t supported.

Availability and platform notes

  • Platforms: The game is available on the official website, Steam, and Epic Games Store, and is included with PC Game Pass.
  • Cloud play: GeForce Now support lets you stream the game on under‑specced machines.
  • Network: A stable broadband connection is required for both local play and cloud streaming.

The bottom line: plan for a DX12‑capable 8GB VRAM GPU, 16GB of system memory, and solid‑state storage. Step up to an RTX 3060/RX 6600 XT‑class GPU and NVMe if you want a smoother experience now—and headroom for later.
