- This is a specifications-based estimate, not a benchmark or an FPS prediction.
- Verify the installed OS version, drivers, graphics features and store eligibility before installing.
- Discord publishes an OS minimum but not a fixed desktop CPU, RAM, or GPU threshold.
- Available storage is unverified. Total drive capacity does not tell us how much space is free.
- Fit index: 95 = hardware headroom, 75 = minimum hardware met, 35 = a requirement fails. This is an editorial rule, not measured performance.
