What kind of Hardware do you use to run KSP

[acidr4in]

Hi, I just wanted to ask a little question what kind of Hardware do you use to run KSP.

I'm really frustrated lately and stopped playing because everything has more than 5 parts doesn't run fluid.

Docking on this is a real pain in the ass.

If someone has tips to improve the performance you are very welcome to post here.

My Hardware:

• Intel i760
  
• Radeon 7870
  
• 8 GB RAM
  
• SSD

i760? What?

Running an i7 4770k @ 5GHz

64GB DDR3

SLI GTX 680s

[rodion]

AMD Phenom II 965BE (showing its vintage, i'll probably replace it with one of the 8-core FX models when I get some money in the bank again)

4GB DDR3 RAM

GeForce GTX 660.

[acidr4in]

I have this one

It is 4 Generations older than yours.

i760? What?

Running an i7 4770k @ 5GHz

64GB DDR3

SLI GTX 680s

Core2 duo iMac here. When I get done docking with a station, my brain lags.

(Can't wait for the .22 optimizations.)

A8 @ 1.9GH with Radeon HD 7640G built in

6 GB RAM

I'm using a Laptop.

[LameLefty]

MacBook Pro Core i7 2.0 gHz (it's 2-1/2 years old now - need a new laptop!)

8GB DDR3 RAM

Plain old slow-a$$ 5400 RPM drive

Just FYI, that station would lag on most rigs.

A Idaho golden potato, modified with a lemon and several raisins for extra graphics processing power.

[Ravyne]

AMD A8

768MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 8550G

6 GB DDR3 Ram

I'm...pretty sure that'd lag on mine too.

[Boex]

What's an i760...?

i5 3570K @ 4.5GHz

8GB DDR3

GTX 650

Not a great graphics card and I'd like a little more RAM, but KSP doesn't really need either of those.

You want a great processor to run KSP well. I get to about 400 parts before the MET goes yellow and the game slows time down.

[WillHop]

i3-2120 @ 3.3GHZ

4 GB DDR3

GeForce GTX 650

Runs pretty much everything well

[FellipeC]

Atlhon II X3 @ 2.8Ghz

8GB DDR3

GeForce 9400 GTX

Runs quite nice too

[Dispatcher]

6.5 year old iMac. 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 2 GB ram. ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro with 256 MB. No need to spec the HD, its the usual slow stock Mac option. It will probably barely handle Mavericks OS when that comes out. It sometimes handles KSP well.

Yes, some of you will feel better now with your own rig specs.

[Umlüx]

i7 2600K

16GB DDR3

GTX570

[Hoa_Binh]

i7 3.40 GHz

8 Gb

GeForce GTX 660

[cesarcurado]

Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz

4 GB DDR3

Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family (I know, it sucks...)

Runs KSP perfectly with no lag (with a few graphics changes in "settings.cfg", of course).

[Kasuha]

My 3 years old desktop:

i7 860 @ 2.8 GHz

8 GB RAM

GeForce GT 230

It runs. Somewhat.

[Bekiekutmoar]

Pentium i3 3,40 GHz

8 GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 2500

Unable to play KSP a.t.m.

[Nerd_in_Spaaace!]

Athlon II x3 450 3.2GHz

4 GB DDR3 RAM

GeForce 9600GT

Getting lots of lag loading scenes, like everyone else I imagine. Some lag when docking with a space station of about 80 parts or more.

[Thiagobs]

i7 950 3,07 GHz

6GB RAM

GeForce GTX 580

Little bit on the old side, but so far it runs any games without problems (at 1920x1080)

Have to keep the parts down on KSP though..

[Brofessional]

i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz

8GB DDR3 1600MHz

Two HD6950 2GB in CrossfireX, unlocked to 6970 specs

If you're bottlenecking on physics there's not much you can do to improve performance aside from overclocking your CPU.

Windows 7 (Desktop)

Intel i5-2300 @ 2.80GHz

ATI Radeon HD 5670

6 GB RAM

I can run previous updates with no lag up to 500 parts! However .21 lags nonstop... and it threatens to crash at every moment...

Oh goodie! .22 has 30% performance improvement? Well I guess that's at 50% decrease for me! *goes to cry in a corner*

Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

G.SKILL Sniper 8GB

I have little to no lag on craft up to about 400 parts, anything more produces pretty savage lag.

However I only play at 1440x900 so i guess the lower resolution helps frame rate a little.

[Sovek]

Intel i3 2100 Sandy Bridge

4Gb DDR3 1333 RAM

GTX 460

Pretty decent, but I seriously need some more RAM. This however requires throwing out my current sticks

ATI RADEON X300 128 MiB

Can be a bit of a struggle at times, but it's okay if you turn all settings to low and don't have anything else running. Doesn't support the re-entry shader unfortunately, and there are graphical glitches with flags and the settings page, but everything else works and looks fine. It can be a bit of slideshow, so don't look at the ocean (though 0.21 final made planes flyable because the frame rate finally improved).
