If you have a 32-bit operating system, you will be unable to choose the HD Client (beta). Note: Only players running a 64-bit operating system can install the HD Client (beta).

Selecting the Client Type During Installation Separating the two allows players that don’t need the highest resolution graphics to save on hard drive space. For those players that do play on the highest settings, they’ll still be able to get the best visual experience by downloading the larger HD Client. We’ve made this change because not all tankers use the highest graphical settings and downloading the SD Client will allow them to save space. Otherwise identical to the Standard Client, the HD Client will take up more hard drive space and require a 64-bit operating system. HD Client – This client will include textures for game objects in all resolutions, including the maximum quality textures. Standard Client – A new version of the World of Tanks game client that requires less hard drive space because it does not include the maximum resolution textures for the vehicle models. The HD Client will take up more disk space and is targeted at those of you who like to play the game on the highest settings. Both clients give you the same game, but the SD Client will take up less disk space, making updating quicker and easier. In the near future, you’ll be able to choose between two different clients for World of Tanks: the Standard Client (SD) and an HD Client (beta).
