What PC's will run Endless Space 2?

[merryfof]

Hi,
This sounds like an interesting game but won't start for me. Since my PC is 10 years old I presume I need a new one. However since I know nothing about computers I cannot tell which computers are available to run this game. Can you help me with a list?
Thank you,
Merry

And why cant he buy a pc? You imply he is poor, simply because he uses a 10 year old pc?

An option is offered to play the newest games on old / weak machines

Now's a great time to learn! First, you'll want to post the specs for your PC. To find your specs, you'll need to open and run dxdiag. To do so, read this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe

Once you get your specs, post them here.

If the game wont start, one of the biggest likely cause is you dont have compatible direct X software.

Wow your out of date..Time to start your research. Google, best...blah (pc component), and gage the competition. With this much time past...you may have to do some relearning of the fundimentals...I know i had to after awhile of not following up in PC land for a few years.

Hi,
All your comments are appreciated. I had better give more information.
I'm 74 y.o. and don't play hand eye coordination games because of some nerve damage in my hands. I don't wish to invest time in learning more about specifications. I just want to play.

Here are a couple of computers I found advertised but I cannot tell whether they have the capability that is needed.

Will either of these work?
Thanks much,

Hi merryfof,

First one will work. The GT710 graphics card requires separate Windows 10 drivers; but, since that machine already comes with Windows 10 then you should definitely be good to do.

You might wish to find a desktop computer with a NVidia 1060 or 1070 in it to future proof, but the GT710 should be good enough for a while.

Hi Grug et al.
I plan to get the
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Xtreme VR Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 - 1TB Hard Drive - Black/blue.
I think it will last as long as I do.
If it' won't work please tell me.
Thank you again.
Merry

This PC will easily play this game with all the bells and whistles (and many other/future games too!). It's a solid choice.

Thanks.
