Destroy All Human PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide
PC System Requirements & Graphics Options
To say that Destroy All Humans’ current set of PC system requirements is uninformative is an understatement. In their current state, they do not recommend any graphics cards, listing only a VRAM requirement of 4GB. For gaming, your graphics card is your most important component, and right now, it isn’t even listed in Destroy All Humans’ system requirements.
We are disappointed in Black Forest Games and THQ Nordic for listing such uninformative system requirements. Actual GPU recommendations would be great to see, and settings/resolution targets would make these recommendations extremely useful to users.
MINIMUM:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
Processor: AMD / Intel CPU running at 3.0 GHz or higher: AMD Kaveri A10-7850K or Intel Pentium DualCore G3220 or newer is recommended / Ryzen 5 2400G (for systems using an integrated GPU)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD/NVIDIA dedicated graphics card, with at least 4GB of dedicated VRAM and with at least DirectX 11.0 and Shader Model 5.1 support
DirectX: Version 11
Storage: 19 GB available space
Sound Card: Integrated or dedicated DirectX 9 compatible soundcard
Additional Notes: Windows 7 and 8.1 are supported but some AMD Graphics Cards might show weaker performance on those OS versions.
RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
Processor: AMD / Intel processor running at 3.5 GHz or higher (AMD Ryzen 3 1300x or Intel Core i3 8100 or newer is recommended)
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD/NVIDIA dedicated graphics card, with at least 4GB of dedicated VRAM and with at least DirectX 12.0 and Shader Model 6.0 support

Settings
Destroy All Humans features a long list of graphical options on PC, offering Low, Normal, High and Ultra settings for view distance to Foliage Quality. Only Landscape Tesselation features settings outside of the Low to Ultra range, offering PC players settings of Off, 2, 4, 6 and 8.
For most PC players, assuming they use newer PC components, will have little trouble setting tesselation to 4 or 8. Only older DirectX 11 graphics cards will struggle when it comes to Tesselation performance, especially those with older AMD GPUs.
