Will ksp run on this?

Recommended Posts

I have a laptop and was wondering if ksp would be worth buying. I just wanna be able to go to other planets and land and make small sized bases and stations. Nothing really big. Would this laptop be ok for that? Should I use an older version of the game to help?

I'm thinking it'll run, but you are going to have to lower graphics settings and make sure the laptop is free of any bloatware running in the background to get semi-descent frame rates. There just isn't very much processing power and the video memory is kinda low. It'll run, yeah, I've run the game on worse. It's just it may get difficult to control the game sometimes without doing some poking and prodding of the settings on both the game and the pc.

First you make a thread about buying a laptop, then you make a thread about needing a mod for the older version you are playing, then you make a thread about the choppy performance of 1.1 on your laptop and now you are asking if you should buy the game and if it would run on this machine. Are you travelling backwards in time?

How can he know of 1.1s choppy performance if he hasn't bought the game?

Also, @Canadabear07 , you need to update your game. Your asking for support for legacy versions of the game, one day .21 won't work for you and mods won't help. We cannot provide support to legacy versions of the game. 

If your having RAM issues, wait for 1.1 or download and use Active Texture Management of Dynamic Texture Loader to ease your game.

That's overkill! It'll work just fine! For comparison, my KSP runs smoothly even with the following mods:

Scatterer

EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements with 8K textures

Kopernicus (ergo a lot of extra planets)

Various part mods

And my laptop's specs are: Intel i3-1330M Dual Core, 6GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4400, and the specs you listed are waaay better than that, so you have nothing to worry about. And even if you've got a weaker computer, you can lower the texture resolution so KSP can be played on weaker computers, and on top of that there's a mod called ActiveTextureManagement that I highly recommend using because it drastically lowers the loading time of the game and doubles the FPS.

Hope this helps

Looks like the question's been answered. Closing this thread as a duplicate of many other related "is my machine fast enough" threads, including this one:

Anybody curious as to whether their computer can run the game, please direct your questions over there!
