Supported GPU architecture is only one requirement
Blizzard’s September 17 GPU notice names AMD Graphics Core Next 1, NVIDIA Maxwell and Intel Skylake, or newer architectures. It also warns that compatible examples may still fall below the game’s minimum requirements.
Check the actual model
On Windows, use Device Manager → Display adapters to identify your GPU. The support notice discusses RGBA16F UAV support in compute shaders. A generation label alone is not a performance guarantee.
