Which rig for Baldur's Gate 3?
Act 3 in the Lower City is where BG3 gets genuinely heavy; the 4090 holds up there where the base rig starts to struggle.
Worth knowing before you start
At roughly 150 GB this is by far the largest install on this list and needs the biggest storage add-on we sell. It's also a 100-hour game on a rig that resets each session, so plan on backing up saves through the file browser every time.
