Chibbob Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) There has been quite a mixed reaction to the KSP 2 requirements, so will your PC be able to handle ksp2? (It's not letting me add multiple questions... I don't know why) Edited February 19, 2023 by Chibbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshSteW Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 My graphics card is ok, I think - GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. I don't think my CPU is - AMD FX-8350 4 GHz 8-Core. My RAM is ok in terms of the amount, but it's old - DDR3-1600, so I'm not sure really? But, I'll play it and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirgal Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I think the results of this poll will be skewed towards higher-end PCs, compared to what we see from Steam surveys - If I remember correctly only like 30% of Steam users would meet the minimum requirements. If we look to the next 5 years though, these requirements won't be as demanding, and I expect optimisation throughout the EA period. It's just a shame so many players are excluded at this stage.

WelshSteW Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 A bit off topic, but why can't they use one of the benchmarking programs / sites, and say "your CPU needs a score of XXXX, your GPU needs a score of YYYY....." rather than using model names and numbers? I like to think of myself as fairly computer literate, but the model names and numbers leave me baffled sometimes, even within a manufacturer, let alone when comparing Nvidia with Radeon.

Also thinking of building a PC with a 3060, 5600g, and DDR4-3600 You should be fine for low end with your first machine. 2nd machine will probably be okay for medium to medium-high. 9 minutes ago, WelshSteW said: A bit off topic, but why can't they use one of the benchmarking programs / sites, and say "your CPU needs a score of XXXX, your GPU needs a score of YYYY....." rather than using model names and numbers? I like to think of myself as fairly computer literate, but the model names and numbers leave me baffled sometimes, even within a manufacturer, let alone when comparing Nvidia with Radeon. Because those are "Synthetic" benchmarks and they push the GPU and CPU to the very limit, which is a poor result for game benchmarking, because games almost never 100% either the CPU or GPU, and never at the same time, not unless you are working with old to very old hardware. Giving model names and numbers is the best way to say, "Hey, this works. This doesn't. These may work." etcetera. Also also, folks still rocking SLI can get Score XXXXX, but in real world games, they have poor performance. So, again, using Cinebench or Timespy or whatever else that gives a score, is not good for gaming results at all. Game benchmarks are measured in FPS and % of usage. That's what we need. Not numbers going, "Oh, well you beat Mr.Johnson with his 3-way SLI 980s." Edited February 19, 2023 by GoldForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luriss Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 As one of the privileged few to actually exceed the recommended specs I'm hoping to give KSP 2 a good stress test. I'm really curious to see how it'll handle high part counts. Maybe it'll choke at 50, maybe I'll even hit 1000 before it starts to struggle.

This is a fair point. Then again how do you define "score"? Sometimes certain cards will perform better in some games, but worse in others. Good example is Intel ARC cards performing badly at DX11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantarochen Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Upgraded my PC a month ago when I got myself a proper 144Hz 4K monitor. CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X on a Kraken Z63 MB: Asus Crosshair VIII Formula X570 RAM: 64GB DDR4 3600 Corsair Vengeance RGB GPU: RTX 4090 Gigabyte OC Monitor: 1x Gigabyte M32U, 1x Samsung generic UHD Curved 32" Storage: 3x 3TB Samsung 980 PRO Nvme pcie 4.0 KSP1 vanilla never dips below 180FPS, IF I dont go overboard with mods or launch a 800 part Rocket that kills your CPU. So all in all I'm pretty much at the high end except the CPU, with a less "top of the line" single core performance. My rig tends to perform really well on games that can use more then 4 CPU cores, and is a bit slower on older games that are optimised towards 1 core usage. I don't expect a flawless 4K 144Hz 99,9%tile out of KSP2 especially because it's launching in EA as a barebones game, BUT if I find myself in an unplayable stuttering mess at like 20-40 FPS, I will 100% refund this game on the spot. This hardware combined with the time the DEVS had to develop the game has to hit some bottom line that is acceptable for the hardware youre on. Edited February 19, 2023 by Mantarochen clarified my expectation regarding the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow71 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Do I meet the minimum requirements for KSP2? Probably not. But my rig is only 2 years old, and it runs stuff just fine. I'll just get KSP2, play it, and if I have to upgrade any hardware I'll do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy_Boblorf_Kerman Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 My graphics card would be halfway to Minmus because of the loading screen. The first RUD I'm going to have in KSP 2 is my PC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-T-B Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) As a former PC hardware reviewer for Techpowerup.com, I think they'd take away my enthusiast badge if I couldn't. So yes. But keep in mind the early access specs are likely to drop in requirements as it is optimized. Edited February 20, 2023 by R-T-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haustvindr Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think we lack an option for "I have enough juice in everything but GPU", since reading the forums it seems a very common scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow71 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 So, I checked my machine this morning to see what I've got going on. I'm a software guy by day, and hardware is a bit beyond my wheelhouse. If someone could tell me if I am ok or not, that'd be keen. Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-core 3.09 GHz RAM: 32 GB Display Adapter: NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (which I believe is only 8 GB) Anyone?

Spaceception Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Overall, no, My graphics card falls well below the minimum, but I think my other specs (barely) meet the reccommended requirements. Even once KSP2 does a bunch of performance optimizations, I'm not sure if my card will be enough. AMD Ryzen 5 4600H 16 GB DDR4 GTX 1650 And I'm just about out of space on my SSD, but I plenty of HDD storage on my secondary drive. In any case, I'm not going to be able to get the game until it fully releases. Edited February 20, 2023 by Spaceception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
