You'll probably want to change the UI in the options to totally enjoy this game and easy read of the tutorial.
I start on low settings for a smooth gameplay.
PC Specs
Can I run ? If not, what recommended graphic setting on 720p @ 30FPS/60FPS ?
PC Specs
I voted no because...that dual core process and its graphics are weak
PC Specs
Can I run ? Looking forward to a heavily modded game
PC Specs
You should be good to go bro :D
PC Specs
Can I run Kerbal Space Program if I upgrade my main rig to these specs ? Looking at a heavily modded game (with graphical enhancements only if possible). Will possibly couple it with a R7 250 (DDR3) later if Dual Graphics are worth it.
PC Specs
Can I run Kerbal Space Program?
PC Specs
I voted no because...Too weak CPU. Old versions maybe will launch on absolutely minimum detail with minimum resolution.
PC Specs
Can I run Kerbal Space Program? I run the demo just fine if the rocket is not a giant behemoth with 8+ rockets going at once and uses 130+ parts. The requirements here are a bit outdated
PC Specs
Can I run high with core i5-4210u 1.7 Ghz up to 2.4 Ghz, geforce 820m 2gb overclock by up to 30% and 4gb ram
PC Specs
Could I get at least 30fps at 720p low? I tried the demo long ago and only got over 30 when I was in space. My GPU is also a 5470 which isn't that much better. I chose the wrong one at selection
PC Specs
What are your specs?
PC Specs
What framerates will I be able to run ksp on low and on medium graphics at? Thanks :)
PC Specs
could be anywhere between 30-60 on medium. if you can't I believe there is low texture mods which will ensure your pcs ability to run it
PC Specs
could I run this in low settings with like 1024768 or slightly lower?
I can run left for dead 2 and get between 20-30 fps and max 50 in some areas (low settings 1024768) even though GD shows I can't
PC Specs
I meant 1280*720 actually
PC Specs
Should be able to run it at low. If you Cant pretty sure there is low res texture mods. Just bear in mind, big explosions will probably make it quite laggy.
PC Specs
Can I run this please respond :)
PC Specs
Probably not, your GPU is severely lacking, you might be able to barely run it on the lowest possible settings, but I wouldn't expect 30 frames per second.
PC Specs
I strongly recommend getting a better GPU. The RAM on your rig isn't great but you'll get by most small indie titles with it no problem,upgrading your RAM helps
PC Specs
Version 1 needs way more RAM though...
Keep crashing with 2Gb RAM without mods...
PC Specs
Version 1.0 was released yesterday. Lots and lots of new features to play with now! There's just not enough hours in the day...
PC Specs
KSP will run on just about anything from this decade, but expect minimal settings and terrible graphics for really low end machines. From someone deciding if they should buy it, it is an awful lot of fun, fantastic value sandbox
PC Specs
hey guys, can i 1080p 60fps max it out? also how is it going to run on my old PC (also 1080p monitor)
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
1GB DDR2 ram
PC Specs
1GB RAM won't cut it for I'm afraid.
PC Specs
Beware guys ksp will require way more RAM the more you mod.Await random crashes when installing huge mods without 4gb+ ram
PC Specs
If you have a really large ship you need 6.0gbs
PC Specs
In my launch with a few mods game can use 12GB of RAM.
PC Specs
can i play this and what settings and fps you think i can get
PC Specs
You can play this game eeeeeasy. You will be able to run it on high settings but I don't know what fps you would get, but it will be at a playable rate.
PC Specs
It looks like I will finally be able to play KSP on my old rig I just bought parts to extend it's life a bit more. Which is awesome! :D
PC Specs
reading some of these comment chains i may be able to, but how well could i play this?
PC Specs
very well. at high fps on high settings
PC Specs
Is it playable on my pc? And what about FPS?
PC Specs
So you cant play on any default setting... BUT there is a way to increase your preformance. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gqKiPo_3RE i suggest trying to pirate the game just to test how your rig does
