Space Engineers is currently in alpha and these are only the preliminary specifications. Hardware requirements could increase or decrease depending on future iterations. As of now, here are the current specs for Space Engineers:
| Minimum Requirements | Recommended Requirements |
|---|---|
|
|
Steam account and internet connection to install the game. No internet connection required to play the game.
Recommendation from a user concerning choice of PC components [1.069] / Feb 2015:
Space Engineers is very CPU heavy. A quadcore with a high frequency is currently performing better than a hexacore with a lower CPU frequency.
In the users' case:
| Old system | New system |
|---|---|
|
|
The FPS and UPS are slightly better with the old system ! The only "noticeable" advantage of the GTX 980 over the GTX 580 is the render capacity. At 6.5 million triangles the GTX 580 can't update all objects in a frame anymore frequently showing the interior of objects whereas the GTX 980 still manages to display all triangles in a frame.
So if you already have a high-performance quadcore and a good graphics card there's not much benefit from replacing it with a "better" system.
