High End Cpu and Low End Cpu Difference on KSP?

[DaBlacGuy]

8 year old laptop here, [B]Intel Pentium Duo 1.44 ghz[/B] I'm lucky to get above [B]10fps [/B];.; gametime actually slows down below 15fps I think which means i am actively wasting my time just to get to orbit.

DSR and yes, in fact newer, purpose made gaming pc's do in fact speed things up..as can/will a new gpu..even if KSP can run ok on middling hardware..you get better performance on newer gpu's etc. Just go intel, seriously, AMD cpu's are pretty weak in ipc comparatively and as a result do not run the game nearly as well.

I would say U5, even if it does offer a performance increase, won't do so for older hardware by much if at all. Older hardware goes obsolete, always has, always will.

KSP only uses one core...

Uh huh. which is why ipc per core is important, and each generation of Intel's architecture improves by about 10-15%.

And most serious pc gamers overclock.
