Anno 2205™
To run Anno 2205™ (2015) on PC you need at least a Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.6 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.2 GHz processor and a nVidia GeForce GTX460 or AMD Radeon HD5870 (1024MB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0), with 4GB of RAM and 35GB of free storage. For higher settings and frame rates, the recommended specs are a Intel Core i5 2400s @ 2.5 GHz or AMD FX 4100 @ 3.6 and a nVidia GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD7970 or better (2048MB VRAM or more, with Shader Model 5.0) with 8GB of RAM.

Building a PC to play Anno 2205™ at its best
Meeting the Anno 2205™ minimum requirements (a nVidia GeForce GTX460 or AMD Radeon HD5870 (1024MB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0)) is enough to launch the game, but it won't give you high frame rates at 1440p or 4K. The recommended nVidia GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD7970 or better (2048MB VRAM or more, with Shader Model 5.0) is a solid target, and stepping up to a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080 or Radeon RX 9070 XT gives you the headroom for ultra settings, ray tracing and high-refresh play. On mid-range cards, DLSS 4 and FSR frame generation can lift Anno 2205™'s frame rate substantially, while a flagship RTX 5090 drives 4K at maximum settings.
The processor matters just as much: pairing your graphics card with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D or an Intel Core Ultra, at least 8GB (ideally 32GB) of DDR5 RAM and a fast Gen5 NVMe SSD removes the stutter and long load times that can hold Anno 2205™ back. For modern textures at 4K, aim for a GPU with 12–16GB of VRAM so you never run short.
The same premium components also decide whether your rig is VR ready: if you game in virtual reality on a Meta Quest 3, Valve Index or PlayStation VR2, a strong GPU and CPU are what hold a steady 90 FPS.
