gtx 660 not supported?

[captain lost]

I honestly laughed when I read this, I can't play the game because my GPU (EVGA GTX 660 SC) dosen't meet the minimum requirements? lmfao.

[orb]

Does it tell you explicitly that this card doesn't meet the minimum requirements?
Do you have an Intel Sandy Bridge architecture processor with integrated graphics processor?
Is the operating system listing only one graphics card?

nja i run it gtx260 overclocked
seems i cant build verry large ships (memory problem) and if i place lights it gets verry laggggGi
other than that it works
you may look my workshop greations as you can see how big is possible with this card.

and my laptop even did run it with intel graphics untill i forced it to use nvidia card

Hey Captain Lost, could you possibly send your log file that that error generates to the devs? Because I have a GTX660, and i have had no problem with it as of yet?

Also @ka3ra, Have you used the large address aware patch on your game? Its an experimental patch for space engineers that makes it able to use more RAM, up to 3.3GB from 800mb.

Also captain maybe you can run your dxdaig bc i have a gtx 650 ti boost SC and it works awesome and the lights like reflectors thats gonna be laggy for a while the devs said its not just the computer which you still need a decent one but its more the game bc it only runs so fast any way and its like not even a little more then a GB right now so thats why we cant build monster ships yet and like I said the game is running slower then the computer at least mine so until they fix that it doesnt matter how great your comp is the game is only so capable right now.

GTX260 is not a terrible card, it should run this game pretty well, as far as I can tell.

[Comandersegz]

remember also the game is only giving so much info to the cpu gui ect.. bc it hasnt been optimized we can expect in the future to see a change that'll allow much more memorey and more action going on without lagging example the reflectors my computer is a gaming beast and even when i add like 8-12 reflectors it laggs even though its consistent lighting my gui cpu ect... can handle way more so its the game also that is cause lag until they optimize it :)
