CPU and GPU system requirements

[Deimos Tel`Arin]

omfg look at the amount of soldiers rendered in real time !!!

what CPU / GPU requirements are we looking at ???

I asked earlier and it's been pretty radio silent. I doubt we'll get an answer until release.

There was a video that the devs put out as an interview that I had seen awhile ago.

They made mention about some black magic voodoo they're doing behind the scenes to optimize the game. They went into detail about how the shields can break apart without it being a drain on system resources.

It was a major tech-level response about like meshes versus textures and other stuff I don't understand but long story short they're doing smart "game engine things" to limit the impact of system performance from the number of units on screen.

every time I look it up I get this

Here are the Kingmakers System Requirements (Minimum)

CPU: Intel i5 10th gen.
RAM: 8 GB.
VIDEO CARD: GeForce RTX 2060.
DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 6144 MB.
PIXEL SHADER: 6.0.
VERTEX SHADER: 6.0.
OS: Win10 x64.
FREE DISK SPACE: 80 GB.


that could be the system requirements. I havent been told anything else when I posted it last time.

We will be locking down the system requirements closer to the release date.

[porteroutfulltime]

would this run okay on an i7 8700k with rtx 2070super?

Whatever is newest close to release lol..

[porteroutfulltime]

if its playable on steam deck i think im okay then.

Should work fine on most hardware, on discord the game designer said they use PCs that have similar hardware specs to current gen consoles to test the game on.

There was also an interview I watched a while ago where the devs explained they make the NPCs use vertex animations when your not near them / fighting them, but they become skeletal when you get near them.

Now I'm not an expert or anything, but in laymens terms skeletal animations eat way more frames, while vertex ones are very cheap to run since they're just a bunch of math calculations for the animations.

I don't entirely understand how it all works, but if it makes the game not lag, then that's a very good thing.

ah i see !
thanks!

so, basically,

tl;dr
far away units, smol, eyes cannot see clearly, use waaaaaaay less CPU / GPU power
close up units, normal size, eyes can see details, use normal CPU / GPU power

so that's their secret!

genius!

There will be mass battles just make sure you have enough RAM
