Destiny 2 PC beta requirements have been unveiled by NVIDIA. 4K @ 60FPS will be achieved if using a GTX 1080Ti.
Both NVIDIA and the creators of Destiny 2 Bungie and Activision have been working closely together to bring the Destiny franchise to PC. The game itself will be released on September 6th but for anyone that pre-orders the game will have access to the beta on the 28th of August. The public will also have access to the beta on the 29th of August and it will close on the 31st.
Before players can jump into Destiny 2 on their PC’s they should check the requirements. NVIDIA have released the full PC requirements including the minimum, recommended and of course what you will need to hit that amazing 4K @ 60FPS seen in the video trailer above.
The full list can be found below:
Activision, Bungie and NVIDIA have been working closely together to ensure gamers get the best possible visuals and performance with Destiny 2 on PC. The development team leveraged NVIDIA’s developer resources and advanced technologies to bolster that experience, too, with Bungie CEO Pete Parsons explaining that “the GeForce PC platform offers technologies and performance that allow gamers to see the Destiny universe the way we envisioned it for PC players.”
In order to get the optimal performance during Destiny 2‘s PC beta, you will need a GeForce GTX 660 (or GeForce GTX 1050 if you’re upgrading) to meet the minimum system requirements. However, if you want the level of visual fidelity showcased in the 4K trailer above, you’ll want to arm your rig with our obscenely fast GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
Check out the full minimum and recommended PC system requirements below.
Destiny 2 PC Beta Minimum System Requirements
- CPU: Intel i3-3250, AMD FX-4350, or equivalent
- GPU: GeForce GTX 660 / GeForce GTX 1050
- RAM: 6GB
Destiny 2 PC Beta Recommended System Requirements
- CPU: Intel i5-2400, AMD Ryzen R5 1600X, or equivalent
- GPU: GeForce GTX 970 / GeForce GTX 1060
- RAM: 8GB
On top of ensuring your setup is ready to get the best possible Destiny 2 experience during the Beta, you will want to remember to download the Destiny 2 Beta Game Ready driver via GeForce Experience, which will be available before the beta goes live on August 28th.

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
“Before players can jump into Destiny 2 on their PC’s they must check the requirements”
Is that an order? Will Activision do nasty things to us if we disobey?
Humour aside, “jump into (insert game title)” is the language of hyperbole common to trashy industry mouthpiece sites like IGN, Gamespot and Kotaku. DSOG really doesn’t need to be sounding like those places. We’re not 12 year old console brand fanboys blindly looking to jumping aboard the hype train of the latest so-called triple-A game.
“that amazing 4K @ 60FPS seen in the video trailer”
More gushing hyperbole that has the article’s author sounding more like an Activision PR rep’ than an independent journalist. Again, we’re not 12 years’ old so are quite capable of deciding for ourselves whether or not Activision’s product looks “amazing”. We don’t need to be told that it is as though it’s an accepted truth.
Damn straight! Your words are true and straight as an silver arrow sir. Good that you point this out, hopefully Jak is reading it. He really needs to get his sh*t together and treat us with articles not suited for IGN peasants.
Ont: What’s so “amazing” about that short gamplay clip? Looks so boring. Looks like a bad mix between Doom and Halo. Generic and dull. The fact that it runs on a 1080Ti yet they can’t even bother to use mouse+keyboard truly is cringeworthy AF. I mean, who the hell owns a $700 graphics card and then runs FPS games with a controller? LOL!
Thanks. I generally enjoy reading the articles he’s producing and it’s certainly welcome that DSOG is seeing a greater number of articles. Simply cutting out the clickbait titles (seen in a couple of his previous articles) and remembering not to write in a hyperbolic style befitting of IGN and its ilk will have things remedied.
OMG, they’re bringing Destiny 2 to PC? What saints. Doing so much, just for us. I’m touched…… but in a way I feel uncomfortable.
The game looks no different than the first and the first looked like a dull-as-dishwater looter shooter.
your delusional and never played destiny if you think 2 isnt a huge improvement graphically.
It looks no different. They both look dull as dishwater. Should’ve named the games Density because you need to be one dense MFer to get reeled in either one. Wasteful time sinks with paper-thin gameplay at best.
spotted the troll who hasnt played or probably ever seen footage of destiny.
sad!
I watched a few hours of Destiny footage. Like I said: dull, rote, uninspired “gameplay”. Mindless pew-pew. I know that Bungie hired psychologists to help craft gameplay that is addictive in nature but’s actually paper-thin in regards to substance. It’s a platform for DLC and micro-transactions, like a lot of games nowadays.
There’s no real game there. It’s literally nothing but shooting with zero context or depth. It sort of encompasses the modern gaming design landscape.
Do me a favor and go watch gameplay of a raid in Destiny. If you think that’s mindless pew-pew I don’t know what to tell you. It has mechanics that require teamwork unlike any other shooter. I’m not gonna say it’s more complex than an MMO like WoW but it’s up there. If you know what to do and have mastered the mechanics you can beat a Destiny raid in 30 – 40 minutes on a speed run. But when doing it for the first time it takes most players 8 to 12 hours because first you have to figure out the mechanics of the bosses, which are like combat puzzles and then it requires coordination and every member of the team has to do his job (6 people total).
When The Taken King expansion released it overhauled the entire game. Besides a lot of other improvements to the game, all of a sudden you had mysteries and puzzles to solve in the “open world” map as well. Exploration is a big part of Destiny. Yes, there’s also a lot of mindless shooting like any MMO/grind type of game but there’s a lot more to it than that.
There’s also a lot of very cool stuff you won’t see in many other games, like the quest for a high tier weapon, called the Outbreak Prime. You can google it to find out more. Basically this quest required the entire community to solve an ARG outside of the game, which took about a week because it required people with coding and data encryption skills, plus thousands of players had to share information with each other. This resulted into a map that revealed which combination of platforms you needed to stand on inside one of the raids to activate 2 monitors in another room. Those monitors flashed a sequence of numbers that were displayed in binary and you had to know how to convert binary to decimal in order to know which platforms to jump on next to finally solve the puzzle and open the door to a chest that contained the quest for the Outbreak Prime weapon, plus other rewards.
How is that mindless ? No other game does stuff like that and it’s what makes Destiny special. Watching 10 minutes of gameplay on youtube doesn’t even begin to explain what makes this game good. It also has some of the most satisfying gun play I’ve ever played in a FPS game.
You’ve upvoted your own two comments here?
Rock solid 60 fps in 4K on single 1080ti? I just bought 1080ti, and that card is ultra fast in 1440p (90-120fps) but many new games in 4K are so demanding dips below 60 fps), that I have to tweak some settings in order to get rock solid 60 fps in 4K. So if destiny 2 will run maxed out in 4K 60fps on single 1080ti it tells me that this game will will be either very good optimised or will look just everage graphics wise.
The game is quite good looking. Just look at gameplay footage for yourself. And hundreds of people played it in 4K and 60 FPS at E3 on a gtx 1080ti and i7 7700K. Everyone said it runs very smooth and looks very good.Digital Foundry has a video about it and they have quite a lot of good things to say about the PC version.
well i’m ready for 4k then but what is this game doing but a bit of particle effects sh–t a–s console game.
Those requirements seem awfully tame to me. Does this mean the game is well optimized? Or the graphics is nowhere near as good as all the hype? Or the usual completely of the mark system requirements that are advertised these days.
Really why even bother? Just play Halo Online. 1000x more fun!
It will be hilarious to see haters admit that a studio which hasn’t developed a PC game in over a decade has one of the best optimised games on PC.
An i5-2400 vs Ryzen 5 1600x for recommended CPU specs. Lolz!
Another watered down article with hype speak… this is becoming no different than Gamestop or IGN and I’m not the only one saying this. The comments here speak loads.
