What are the system requirements for all four + Resurrected Diablo games?
Will they all play on a 10th-Gen 2C/4T @ 4.0Ghz (Pentium Gold G6400 for $99, I'm looking at you). Or will Resurrected and 4 require something more along the lines of a 10400 or 10600 (or 11th-gen), basically, how many cores can they reasonably use?
I always thought that D2 was mostly written for dual-cores of the era (A64FX, etc.)
The reason that I'm asking is, I have a friend whom is "into" this series, and he contacted me the other day mentioning that he has another buddy out-of-state, that needs a PC build for gaming, specifically, the Diablo series.
I've got two builds here (could realistically be three):
One with a G6400, either 16GB or 32GB of DDR4 (I forgot what I put in there), and an RX 5700. This is basically a sort of GPU "glass cannon" build, which is semi-ironic, because it has a mini-ITX chassis with glass on it. That one would run at least $1000, probably around $1300 with 32GB of DDR4, and an upgraded CPU to a 10400 or so.
I've got another build that I completed today, it's an Acer pre-built with a 10400 in it, that I upgraded to 16GB of DDR4, has 256GB SSD, and a GTX 1650 D6 4GB card. This is the build that I was going to predominately go with. That one would run $650-700.
I've also got an older PC, which is an HP mini-tower, with a Skylake i5-6400 4C/4T, 3.5Ghz I think, not sure if it has any turbo. OEM mobo, 16GB of DDR4, SSD, and a re-built (Ghetto-style, zip-tied case fan) GTX 1050 2GB card, that was said friend's old card that I removed from his rig to upgrade his rig a while back, because it was caked with dirt and the fan was dead. I "resurrected" the fan, so perhaps, this would be the more appropriate build, LOL? That would run around $400.
Looking for comments on if any of those would be "overkill" for Resurrected or D4, or which would likely be the better value. (Obviously, if they're sticking with D1/D2, the last one would be the best "value"... I think?)
(I've never played the series.)
Edit: Would a Pentium Gold G6400 (2C/4T, 4.0Ghz 10-gen Pentium) and a GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 model, play D2 decently? What about later games? Looking at budget options too.
