Our Dark Souls III benchmark rig remained the same as last time, so you're looking at a GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 8GB RAM and an AMD FX-4100 CPU. If you had any doubts your low-end graphics card could run Dark Souls 3 then it’s definitely worth checking out the performance gains FromSoftware has achieved with this day one update. The 750 Ti can be had for less than $100, so it’s a fantastic budget choice, and in these latest Dark Souls III 1.1 patch benchmarks it’s comfortably delivering frame per second above 30 FPS even at Ultra on 1080p. Despite its lack of grunt the Nvidia GPU still managed some respectable DS3 frame rates, but now FromSoftware has come along and pushed out a 1.03 PC update for Dark Souls 3 ready for launch, updating the pre-release build and providing a solid performance boost over what was achieved previously. Last week we ran some Dark Souls 3 benchmarks on Nvidia’s ageing graphics card, the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Correction: Sorry for the confusion, but the patch referred to in the article is in fact patch 1.03.
