A discord I belong to (EJ_SA) at least 5 people have upgraded after the minimum/recommended specs came out for KSP2.

I was wondering how many people here have already done or are planning to do so therefore I have created a poll.

Darn it. I would have liked another option of no upgrade.

I upgraded because it was time to replace my gaming laptop (i5, Nvidia 965M, 16GB ram), not because of KSP2 specifically. Saved up for about a year and a half to do it, sat on a waiting list for my video card while the mining thing was starting to wind down (was a nice surprise when I got the email). Now it's an i7-12700KF, EVGA 3070ti, 64 GB ram. I'll be running the game at 1080P because I still find it hard to pick out pixels on a 32" curved monitor.

Nice. I have an older i9 9900K but I bought a 3070ti last year. Hopefully it will run well enough. My older computer will be more interesting for seeing how and where KSP2 has obvious performance issues.

I'll have to see if any of my current systems can run it at playable frame rates. If not, it's a disappointing reality that I'll have to pay more for the video card than I would for the rest of the components.

Can't vote None (This field is required)

I realised my mistake after because I am actually in the same boat. I dont need to upgrade either.

Premature to make a call at this point.  I hope no one runs out and drops $1000 (or more) upgrading just for this game based on the suggested specs before EA even ships.

Too late!

I’ve been considering the possibility of upgrading since the game was announced.  When the specs dropped, I ordered a new laptop.  It’s not really a gamble.  Even if Intercept HQ gets vapourized by an asteroid impact before the game drops, I’ll still use the laptop…

how do we vote "nothing"?

Yeah I realised my mistake the second after I posted the poll. Not sure what to do about it. I can't edit it. I am in the nothing category as well, and cant use the poll for myself when I was the one that created it ;)

I've wanted to upgrade from my (barely above minimum requirements) RX 5700 for a year or so but I chose a small form-factor case when I did this build years ago and upgrading has been physically impossible. I'm using this as an excuse opportunity to move components into a rackmount chassis and stick it in my rack. The chassis I ordered is backordered for several weeks, though, so I'm going to be using this 5700 for at least that long.

All this to say, I guess my answer is "No upgrade before launch, but likely GPU and PSU well after release".
