God of War's PC port, handled by Jetpack Interactive, ships with an unusually detailed spec sheet: Santa Monica Studio published five named tiers rather than the usual two. Beyond the Minimum (720p/30 on Low) and Recommended (1080p/30 on the console-matching 'Original' preset) shown here, there is a 'High' tier for 1080p/60 (Core i7-4770K or Ryzen 7 2700 with a GTX 1070 8 GB or RX 5600 XT), a 'Performance' tier for 1440p/60 (Core i7-7700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2070 8 GB or RX 5700 XT), and an 'Ultra' tier for 4K/60 (Core i9-9900K or Ryzen 9 3950X, 16 GB RAM, RTX 3080 10 GB or RX 6800 XT 16 GB). The game is DirectX 11 across every tier and lists 70 GB of storage throughout.
The port is well optimized and scales gracefully: even the modest GTX 960 minimum runs the game acceptably, while modern mid-range cards clear the 1080p/60 High tier easily. The PC release also adds NVIDIA DLSS and Reflex plus AMD FSR upscaling, along with higher-resolution shadows, improved screen-space reflections, and upgraded ambient occlusion over the PS4 original. An SSD is strongly advised for the higher presets, and enabling an upscaler is the simplest way to hit 1440p or 4K at 60 fps on older hardware.
