| Hello, I'm new here on the forums so I'm not sure if this is the right section for this question. But I just got a new desktop pc and I was wondering if it will run this amazing piece of software, here are my specs.
Processor Intel® 2nd Generation Core™ i5 Processor Speed 3.0GHz (3.3GHz with Turbo Boost)
Cache Memory 6MB, System Memory (RAM) 6GB DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450, Video Memory 1GB

Again sorry of this is in the wrong section :P
Thanks for your time, COL3

| The system requirements are on the homepage but if you still are not sure where you fit in all of this I would say you will have a pretty okay time with Space Engine. Not the greatest but not the worst and it will run.

I'm actually shocked by this. My FX-8320 runs Space Engine silky smooth with barely breaking a sweat. ( I never top 45% CPU usage in Space Engine) And I too have my LOD set really high (1.7). Are you sure there isn't another underlying issue? Making sure your drivers are up to date (blah blah blah I'm sure you know the whole run around) Also what resolution are you playing at because for me Space Engine (Just like everything else) starts to tank in performance above 1440p.
AMD FX-8320 8 core @4.0ghz , AMD R9 290 4GB, 8GB DDR3 @1866mhz, 1TB Hard Drive

We need more info than that, however there's a good chance that the card would be too old/too slow to run SE.

You need to supply your full system info. Simply saying you have a "DDR 2 graphic card" says absolutely nothing. Your best bet would be to download the program and try it.

| Hi!
I want to buy a new VGA card. Pick on a Nvidia GTX960 card. 
Queston: With 2 or 4 GB video memory? The SE take profit from 4 GB memory? It pays the price difference?

| Always go for more video memory when you can. To answer your question, yes SE will take full advantage of a 4GB card.

| Does processor speed affect frame rate in SpaceEngine? I have a new computer that I got it a couple months ago because my old computer had hard drive troubles (pending sector FTL!) and the frame rate is a bit slower than on my old computer. APU is 512 MB, just like my previous computer, although SpaceEngine isn't too friendly to the Kabini APU that is soldered onto the motherboard. Oh yes, the processor speed is 1.5 ghz quad core.
EDIT: I should have specified on the graphics on this computer. It's AMD Radeon HD 8330.

| 4gb vram isn't enough at all. I have 4gb of vram and constantly running into memory limit leading to pasty textures and frame drops.
the way space engine is wasting memory is just outrageous even at 1080p.
the problem is that gpus with more than 4gb video memory are expensive.
thats annoying in actually two ways because space engine doesn't seem to need that much of rendering power. my gtx 980 barely tops 50% usage so a gtx 960 should be enough.
8gb system memory also seems too little.
I see 6-6,5gb ram usage with high pagefile utilization.
I guess with 16gb ram it might go over 8gb usage.
cpu workload peaks at 70% with good multi core balance.
cheapest way to go building a space engine computer might be a amd kaveri apu system with 32gb system memory.
do you guys know how far space engine will go within video memory usage?
I'm actually considering a sidegrade to a 8gb amd card.
my system:
intel 4690k quadcore@4.5ghz
8gb ddr-2400
gtx 980

What settings are you running at?
SE can function on a 512MB card just fine if you adjust the settings accordingly, 4GB should have little to no issues.
