Optimizing Gameplay With Beefy CPU and Crappy Graphics Card

[Dim5678]

Hi

So I just sold off my RX 580 graphics card and is currently using my backup GT610, and I am wondering if there are any ways to make ksp playable on that graphics card without sacrificing too much. I have a watercooled R5 1600x CPU and 16 gigs of ram, and I am currently getting around 4 fps with settings maxed out. What can I do to get my framerate above 30 fps while sacrificing the least amount of detail?

Thanks!

First, don't max out the settings.  Reduce the textures to maybe 1/4 (I'm not familiar with the specs on the GT610).  But you didn't say a word about the vessel.  How many parts does it have?  How many mods do you have installed?

In general, KSP is limited more by the CPU than the graphics.  Even with a top end system, if you launch a vessel with over 1000 parts, it's going to have problems.
