Can I Run Conan Exiles on My PC / Laptop?

The minimum is a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10400F processor, a GTX 1650 or RX 580 graphics card, and 8 GB of RAM. The full minimum and recommended specs are in the tables above.

For a smoother experience the recommended tier is a Ryzen 7 5600X or Core i7-11700F processor, an RTX 3060, RX 6700, or Arc A750 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM.

Both matter, but the CPU side is the one that catches people off guard. Base building, thrall counts, and populated servers load your processor and your drive far more than your graphics card. A strong GPU with a weak CPU will still struggle in a busy base, while a modest GPU with a decent CPU can hold up fine in normal solo play.

Large bases are the main cause. Every placed building piece, decoration, and nearby thrall adds tracking overhead, and a heavily built area can drag frame rate down no matter how good your PC is. Cutting decorative clutter, lowering foliage and shadow distance, and playing on a private or less crowded server all help.

More than enough. 16 GB is what Funcom lists as recommended, and it holds up fine even on populated servers. Drop to the 8 GB minimum and you'll still play, but stutter shows up sooner as your base or the server around you grows.

115 GB on both the minimum and recommended tiers. An SSD is not officially required, but it is worth having, since heavily built areas stream a lot of data and a hard drive makes that streaming rougher.

No. It runs on DirectX 11 only, so any card that meets the minimum GPU requirement already has the DirectX support it needs.

It changed the game itself more than the numbers. In May 2026 Funcom moved Conan Exiles from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 in a free update called Enhanced, and the official minimum and recommended specs on this page are for that version. Older benchmarks or spec charts made before May 2026 are describing the previous engine and should not be trusted for current performance.

DLSS is confirmed, including Frame Generation, Multi Frame Generation, and Nvidia Reflex, added with the Enhanced update. A native in-game FSR toggle for AMD and Intel cards is not clearly confirmed, so those users should rely on driver-level upscaling, such as AMD's Radeon Super Resolution, in the meantime.

You need to be online at least once to verify your Steam or Funcom account ownership, and that check can happen again after some updates. After that first verification, true single-player is possible offline, including through Steam's Offline Mode, though a few players have reported the offline check breaking after patches.

Start with the graphics card, since anything under a GTX 1650 or RX 580 falls short of the floor. If that checks out, look at RAM next: less than 8 GB will hold you back. From there it's usually the GPU driver version or a failed one-time online ownership check that the game requires before it will launch.

Conan Exiles uses BattlEye on official servers. It does not meaningfully cost frame rate on its own, but it is the reason the game has compatibility trouble running through Proton on Linux-based systems like the Steam Deck.

Multiplayer, and specifically a populated official server, is heavier. A private or lightly populated server plays closer to single-player performance, while a busy official server with many active bases is where frame rate takes the biggest hit.

Barely. 8GB clears the stated minimum, but 16GB is closer to what the game actually wants once a base fills up with pieces and thralls. On 8GB, stutter shows up first in busy player-built areas and crowded servers rather than in a quiet solo world.

Playable, yes. The RTX 3050 passes Conan Exiles's minimum bar, so aim for low to medium at 1080p and drop settings if the frame rate dips.

Yes. Conan Exiles runs on the GTX 1650 at 1080p low to medium; shave a setting or two and the frame rate settles. Around 28 to 32 fps at 1080p Low. It is the official minimum alongside the RX 580.

Runnable. The GTX 1060 6GB covers Conan Exiles's minimum, meaning 1080p low to medium and a smoother feel after a small settings drop. About 35 to 40 fps at 1080p Low to Medium, a step above the official minimum.

The RX 580 gets you in. It meets Conan Exiles's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady. Similar to the GTX 1650, roughly 28 to 32 fps at 1080p Low as the other official minimum card.

Comfortably, yes. The RTX 4060 clears Conan Exiles's recommended bar, which puts high 1080p and 1440p both in reach. Around 70 to 75 fps at 1080p High to Ultra, and about 55 to 60 fps at 1440p.

You are well set. The RTX 3060 exceeds Conan Exiles's recommended card, so 1080p high is easy and 1440p is realistic. Around 55 to 60 fps at 1080p High as one of the official recommended cards, with 1440p closer to 40 to 45 fps.

You can play it. The RTX 2060 is at Conan Exiles's minimum, so keep to 1080p low to medium and lower a setting if it stutters. Around 45 to 55 fps at 1080p Medium to High, similar territory to the GTX 1660.

Runnable. The GTX 1660 covers Conan Exiles's minimum, meaning 1080p low to medium and a smoother feel after a small settings drop. Roughly 45 to 55 fps at 1080p Medium to High in normal solo play.

Yes, though keep expectations modest. The GTX 1660 Super clears Conan Exiles's minimum, so plan on 1080p at low to medium and trim a setting or two for a steady frame rate.

Yes, at the lower end. With the RX 6600 you clear Conan Exiles's minimum, so 1080p low to medium is the target and easing back a setting helps. About 50 to 55 fps at 1080p High, just under the recommended tier.

The GTX 1660 Ti gets you in. It meets Conan Exiles's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady.

Yes, with room to spare. Conan Exiles recommends less than the RTX 3060 Ti offers, so expect smooth 1080p high and a playable 1440p. Comfortably above the recommended tier, roughly 60 to 65 fps at 1080p High to Ultra.

It clears the bar. The RTX 4050 matches Conan Exiles's minimum, so 1080p on low to medium is realistic once you tune a few settings.

Below spec. The GTX 1050 Ti does not clear Conan Exiles's minimum, so plan for low settings, low fps, or a game that will not boot.

The RTX 4070 is a strong fit for Conan Exiles. It lands at or above the recommended spec, so high 1080p is comfortable and 1440p works. Strong headroom at over 90 fps at 1080p Ultra, around 70 fps at 1440p, and roughly 45 to 50 fps at native 4K.

No native build exists for macOS, so an M-series MacBook Air or Pro can't launch Conan Exiles on its own. GeForce Now streaming, or running Windows through an unofficial compatibility layer, covers the gap for now.

Older integrated graphics fall below the minimum and are not a good fit. Newer integrated chips such as Intel Iris Xe or AMD's Radeon 780M can get a lightly built solo world running at low settings, but a populated base or a busy server will push past what integrated graphics can handle.

Cloud streaming is the only route. A Chromebook has no way to run Conan Exiles locally, so a service like GeForce Now handles the computing elsewhere and sends you the picture.

It is not officially supported. Valve lists it as Unplayable on Steam Deck because BattlEye, the anti-cheat used on official servers, does not run reliably through Proton. Funcom has said the Enhanced update brings real performance gains on the Deck and some players do get it running with workarounds, but you should not expect a smooth out-of-the-box experience.

Yes, better than a Steam Deck. Both handhelds run Windows, so they avoid the Proton and BattlEye compatibility problem that blocks the Deck. At their default 1080p output you will still want to run at Low or Medium settings and lean on upscaling to keep frame rate steady, especially on a busy server.

You want at least an RTX 4070-class card for playable native 4K, and an RTX 4090 for a comfortable native 4K Ultra experience. DLSS makes 4K reachable on cards below that tier.

An RTX 4060 or better holds a steady frame rate at 1440p on High settings, and the recommended tier of an RTX 3060 or RX 6700 can manage 1440p at lower settings.

Around an RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti class card paired with the recommended CPU gets you close to a steady 60 fps at 1080p High to Ultra in normal solo play. A crowded base or server can still pull this down regardless of your card.

The recommended tier of an RTX 3060 or RX 6700 handles 1080p on high settings well, and Ultra is realistic once you move up to an RTX 4060 Ti or RTX 4070 class card. Ultra at 1440p or 4K wants an RTX 4070 or stronger.

For 1080p at high settings, yes. The 1080p Ultra and higher resolutions get more comfortable with 8 GB or more, especially since Unreal Engine 5's Lumen lighting and Nanite geometry generally ask for more graphics memory than the older engine did.

Officially, no. Valve lists Conan Exiles as Unplayable on Steam Deck because BattlEye, the anti-cheat used on official multiplayer servers, does not run reliably through Proton. Some players do get single-player or private servers working on Linux with workarounds, and Funcom's Enhanced update reportedly improved things, but you should not expect a clean out-of-the-box experience through Steam Play. Check ProtonDB before relying on it for anything beyond solo play.

Both, yes. The PS4 version is native, and PS5 owners are currently running that same build through backward compatibility rather than a dedicated next-gen release. None of this touches the Enhanced PC update covered on this page.

Yes. There's a native Xbox One build plus a next-gen patch for Series X and S, and Series X pushes native 4K with sharper textures and lighting. None of that overlaps with the PC Enhanced update this page is about.

No. There is no Switch version and Funcom has said there are no plans to bring one.

Yes. Cloud streaming runs the game on remote hardware and sends video to your device, so it is a way to play on a Mac, Chromebook, or any PC below the minimum requirements.

Within limits. At the minimum of a GTX 1650 or RX 580, a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10400F, and 8 GB of RAM you can play at 1080p Low, mainly in solo or lightly populated worlds. A busy base or crowded server will strain that hardware regardless of settings.

Above the minimum and roughly on par with a GTX 1660 in this game, around 45 to 50 fps at 1080p Medium to High. It falls a little short of the official RTX 3060 recommendation for Ultra settings.

Yes, close to the recommended tier. Expect around 50 to 55 fps at 1080p High, similar to an RTX 2060.

Yes, at or slightly above the recommended RTX 3060 level. Around 55 to 60 fps at 1080p High is a reasonable expectation in solo or lightly populated play.

Comfortably above the recommended tier. Expect roughly 75 to 85 fps at 1080p Ultra and around 55 to 60 fps at 1440p.

Yes, well above recommended. Around 90 or more fps at 1080p Ultra, roughly 70 to 75 fps at 1440p, and about 45 to 50 fps at native 4K.

Yes, a step above the official RX 6700 recommendation. Around 65 to 70 fps at 1080p High and roughly 50 to 55 fps at 1440p.

Yes, well past the recommended tier. Around 95 to 100 fps at 1080p Ultra, roughly 75 to 80 fps at 1440p, and about 50 to 55 fps at native 4K.

Yes, it is the strongest option on this list. Very high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and roughly 65 to 80 fps at native 4K Ultra, though a heavily built base or a crowded server can still pull even this card down.

Yes, it is one of the three official recommended graphics cards alongside the RTX 3060 and RX 6700. Expect roughly 55 to 60 fps at 1080p High, though Intel's drivers can be a little less consistent scene to scene than Nvidia or AMD in this game.
