Game Lag

[Adampeay]

Hi guys I just had a question on the game graphics. I have an AMD Radeon 6310 Hd graphics 1.30 ghz with 4 gigs of ram. And yet, I have all of the settings on the lowest posible and the games is basically unplayable. too much lag. Its a fairly new computer. Any thoughts, what kind of computer do I need to run games like this.

Recommended System Specs:

* 2.0Ghz Dual Core CPU or higher (preferably higher)

* 4GB RAM

* 512MB Video Card, Shader Model 3.0

* 1GB Free HD space

* Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8

* An Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher

* A Debian based Linux distro

Your CPU is quite low indeed. KSP is very CPU demanding and currently everyone's performances are blocked by our CPU's clock speed. New or not, if your PC can't do more than 1.3GHz, you're going to have a long ride. Changing to a better processor shouldn't be too hard, unless it's a laptop.

Well.. yea that pc you have doesn't have the power. Not even close id say. As for what kind of pc it takes...that's a very vauge question. I'm assuming you don't build your own pc's ( which is the way to go $$$ wise ) so look up some pre builds on newegg if you will. An Intel i5 is good for a CPU. 8 gigs of ram ( even though KSP won't utilize it, but other games will. ) And as for a gpu id say a geforce 500 series and up is nice though I'm sure others work just fine. Any prebuilt on newegg with an i5 ( and specified for gaming ) should come with a nice gpu wether it be Nvidia or ATI

Thanks everybody or the tips.

The culprit being that we have to look for newer processors with high GHz numbers on each core - are there any dual cases out there, taking two motherboards ... ;p

Currently running KSP on a 2.9 GHz machine with only 2 GB ram and an nVidia 7000-equivalent integrated graphics chip. Works just fine for me with settings turned down (not even to minimum) up to about 500 parts. Of course, there is the occasional spontaneous shut down I have to deal with, but otherwise...

We just have to wait for the unity devs to make a stable multicore version of the engine.

running a 2.2 GHz and its prettty good for up to 400 part ships
