Architecture & Design

By Luigi R. Updated: October 2026

To run Architecture & Design (2026) on PC you need at least a Intel Core i5-9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor and a Ray tracing capable GPU with 6 GB VRAM — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 / Intel Arc A750, with 16GB of RAM and 50GB of free storage. For higher settings and frame rates, the recommended specs are a Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (8 GB VRAM or more) with 32GB of RAM.

Building a PC to play Architecture & Design at its best

Meeting the Architecture & Design minimum requirements (a Ray tracing capable GPU with 6 GB VRAM — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 / Intel Arc A750) is enough to launch the game, but it won't give you high frame rates at 1440p or 4K. The recommended NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (8 GB VRAM or more) 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 Architecture & Design'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 32GB (ideally 32GB) of DDR5 RAM and a fast Gen5 NVMe SSD removes the stutter and long load times that can hold Architecture & Design 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.
