Can I play this game with Geforce GT 540M 2GB?

[Zenius]

so I went to'' Can you run it?'' and it said I can't handle the minimum requirements even tho my GPU has higher pixel shader version, higher vertex shader version and higher dedicated video ram, i'd like to know if I can run this game with my current setup

i got 1gb vram and i run it perfectly fine, you should be good

[Zenius]

with the same GPU? I've seen people saying they get 20-40 fps with much higher gpu than mine

[[K]entucky Sperkle ♿]

nah different GPU

my specs are

Intel i-5-2320 @ 3.00 GHZ
6gb RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6570 (1gb)

not the specs i have at the moment but it runs the game well for me

This is how your graphics card compares to the minimum requirement one. I don't think you'll be able to run it very well, if at all.

I guess it depends. I run the game on a 840M which according to your website, performs quiet a bit lower than the GTX 260 as well and my fps on 1080p and medium/high details are as follows:

Out in the open = constant 50-60 fps
Near Stars and a RES sites = 35-50 fps
Inside big stations = 18-25 fps

Now if I turn down the resolution to 1366x768 which still looks pretty good in my opinion, I get constant 60 fps everywhere except in big stations where it drops to 30-40 fps.

So I wouldn't go by the website you pointed to. If I would turn down details to low, I could probably get 50-60 fps even in stations on lower resolutions.

I saw some videos on youtube with people playing with a geforce 525m 1 gb only and running it at 20-40 fps...

[Zenius]

This is so confusing cause I really wanna play it but I don't wanna play it with 10-20 fps...

I saw someone mentioning in another topic today that there is a demo of the game available. Maybe you can try out the demo and see how the game runs on your system.

I think you're going to really struggle with that gpu. Sure it'll run but in places like space stations, even on low its going to be a slideshow. Sorry :(

[Zenius]

the problem is I see people with higher gpu struggling and people with lower gpu not struggling lol, I'm searching for a demo but I can't find anything... tbh I'd like just 5 minutes to see if it's going to be a slideshow or not

Ironically there is a demo option in the launcher, so I also assumed there would be a free demo somewhere.

But after reading several similar threads it seems all the demos have been withdrawn.

But I've also read that the game can be run on any device running Windows, even tablets. And the devs said in an interview that it will run on any Windows compatible system.

But I guess until they put a free demo back online there is no way of knowing except to ask other people with your setup.

Honestly, you should be able to play it fine; not sure I'd venture into online play, though.

My old laptop was an A10-4600M 2.5GHz Quad-core, 8GB RAM, and AMD Radeon HD 7660G w/ 512MB dedicated VRAM. I could run it at 720p w/ low settings at around 40fps.

My new laptop, though, has an i7-4710HQ 2.5GHz Quad-core 3.5GHz Turbo, Intel HD4600 (which I never use), 8GB RAM, and GTX 860M w/ 2GB dedicated VRAM. I can run it perfectly fine, fully maxed out at 1080p at a solid 70-90fps. Well, outside of stations; inside of stations it drops to around 40fps.

Also, there is a demo out there; you just have to hunt for it a bit. :\ I'll try to find it and link it in another comment.

A Surface pro might be a tablet... but something running on it doesn't mean that it'll run on other, more "tablety", tablets...

Not an officially supported one, mind, unless I'm very mistaken... if you find it, use it at your own risk.

There it is. Hopefully it still works. Click the "standalone" link, and it'll download. I didn't open it, but it did download for me when I clicked the link.

When I open the exe file the program shuts down and stops working, i'd like to buy this to play online with some friends xD offline is no fun for me
