Never preordered, never followed a release. Guess this is why I'm so impatient. I've never been burned. Elden Ring got specs published 1 week before launch.

ouion Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 well i have a gtx 1660 ti, which is just a rtx with ray tracing tech removed and overall less powerful. I am thinking is more similar to KSP 1 with additional graphics mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebycheek Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Im really worry about the VRAM, since NVIDIA stuffing the entry level laptop with the bloody hell 4GB VRAM 3050ti,wich is what i bought,i think that the high graphic setting on KSP2 will trash my game.

K^2 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Some of the vusuals features we've seen are VRAM hungry, but hopefully, Intercept will give us an option to tune these down or disable them. I don't think there's a reason to go for 4GB min spec here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexoff Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Impressive requirements, should there be RTX in the game? Edited February 17, 2023 by Alexoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher M Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 These are not really that reasonable, also why is it needing 45GB of space for a start, are we looking at space being taken up with un-optimised textures? good to see that it seems to work on more than a single core, but disk and GPU are going to be a pain for a lot of people and exclude a lot that currently run on laptops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, probably a ton of high resolution textures. If you look at Restock, BDB, any of the Wild Blue mods, they have really high texture quality. High texture quality equals really large image files.

Multivac Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Uh, wow... Wasn't it mentioned at some point that one of the improvements over KSP1 would be better optimization?.. Because KSP1 can basically run on a potato, if you turn the graphics to minimum and keep your part counts low... (Source: In the past, I've played KSP1 on a tiny old-fashioned Windows 7 netbook. No, it wasn't pretty, but it was still fun...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ksp has a minimum requirement of 512mb vram (listed on steam, not sure if that is still accurate based on how KSP has changed over the years. And definitely wouldn't handle many graphics mods) and was first available in 2011. At the time, the 8600GT was a 5 year old card that cost $200 at release and only just met that requirement. Now in 2023, the minimum is the RTX 2060, a 4 year old card that cost $350 at release. Not all that different really with how prices have increased. Today's upper-mid gaming pc is tomorrow's potato.

Blasty McBlastblast Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 oof... those specs are well above what my potato can handle i guess i'll stick with playing KSP1 for a while longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJesuit Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) My GPU isnt up to snuff... but the 45GB install is going to be more of an issue for me. Edited February 18, 2023 by theJesuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much. They always over allocate storage for future updates and dlc. My guess, is that the 60 GBs is the finished product size. As of right now, the real size is probably closer to 15 to 25 gigs is my guess. My modded KSP install is about 25 gigs right now, without planet packs, but I run Parallax, EVE and other visual mods on ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalleHeHa Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 All my specs just reach recommended except my graphics card is a gtx1660, I'm scared, will I be able to run it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1660 is more or less a 2060 without ray tracing. Even if it were significantly worse, I'm sure you could crank down the resolution and get acceptable frame rates. I'm thinking you'll be quite all right Edited February 18, 2023 by whatsEJstandfor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Minimum specs is kind of a misnomer. It should be called Minimally Recommended Specs. KSP 2 will run for you, even if you have below the minimum specs. How well it will run is up in the air. the 2060 might be an over allocation of power on Intercepts part. Could be that they have only tested as low as a 2060 since they either don't have anything below that on hand or they didn't get to testing anything else due to the time constraints.

jimmymcgoochie Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If I can run KSP with the graphics settings turned down without a GPU, I'm fairly sure I can run KSP2 with the graphics settings turned down with a GPU that has so far handled every other game I've tried it with, without too many issues. The "minimum" specs are for 1080p; turn your resolution down and limit the frame rate and you might find it works just fine on less capable hardware.

Just a random person Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Thank you everyone, it's posts like these that let me cling to the hope that I can still use my ancient potato and won't have to spend 1000+€ on a new rig just to play the funny space frog game To be honest, I might still do that unless the devs really fudged the game up and I refuse to believe that for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJesuit Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 So... There is always the possibility that you could get a refund from Steam if you purchase and the game is unplayable on your setup - you have two hours of playtime to make that decision. If it won't load, or constantly crashes then it should be obvious that your specs are coping. That's my plan if the game is unplayable due to hardware issues.

pandaman Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm going to buy it anyway. I had expected to want, or need, to upgrade my PC before long so if it won't run then I have it ready for when I do. I will endeavour to post here with my experience and current specs in case it help anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkledash Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I can't believe I'm looking for a 6800 XT on the basis of delivery date over price but here we are.

That exactly the reason I've pulled the trigger on a 6800XT a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
