Can My PC Run SpaceEngine?

Can My PC Run SpaceEngine?

It depends on the memory.
Is it GDDR5 or GDDR3?
It's better if it's GDDR5, although it may run on GDDR3 memorybut I'm not sure.
Your low display resolution definitely compensates the low performance of the card.
My advice is, if you plan on buying one (not if you already have one), to opt instead for a gt 1030 with 2gb of GDDR5 memory because I know for a fact that it runs (don't buy a GDDR4 one because it performs much worse!).
So the answer is i'm pretty sure that it runs but not 100%.
It appears in the list of gpus that run SpaceEngine, but it doesn't specify the memory.
SubTerras are the best!

I was looking at an old list of gpus, but I still think that it runs.

The new list of gpus says that you need at least a gt 1030, but the game runs fine on my mx230 even at high gpu temperatures.
So I wouldn't really trust the list, at least for the minimum requirements.
Even if at 1080p I don't use 720p textures, the game is more than playable with 480p textures mixed with medium and low settings.
I think that the only real requirement for SpaceEngine is to have a decent amount of dedicated video memory.

Hello
My son Laptoo is on Intel(R)UHD Graphics 600
I purchase SE for son without checking the required specs, will SE run on his Laptop?
Every time when launch, it only shows SE launch window for few seconds and disappear

Hello, I'm afraid your graphics card is not compatible with SE. It could probably run the legacy version 0.980, available from the website in the download section.

What Mosfet said
If you have the money, you really want a proper PC for running heavy programs like SE. But for now, the old versions should work fine enough.

Can I run the simulator with a GTX 550 Ti (2gb) DDR5? I'm thinking to buy it since that's my actual budget, or you recommend me to save a little more money?

You'll need to do a bit better than that, I'm afraid. These are the system requirements for SpaceEngine 0.990 according to Steam, although the free versions on this website might run better on your hardware.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  • MINIMUM:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 7
    • Processor: Intel Pentium G3240 or AMD FX-4100
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce GTX 950 or Radeon HD 8760
    • Storage: 4 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: VRAM (dedicated video memory) is very important for SpaceEngine - 2 GB is enough to run the program comfortably on lower settings.
  • RECOMMENDED:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 10
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-4430 or AMD FX-8350
    • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290
    • Storage: 50 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: VRAM (dedicated video memory) is very important for SpaceEngine - 4 GB are required to run the program with all features enabled and at good settings.

For now I can buy the GTX 550 ti, but the next week will rise like 150$

The price of graphics cards changes from place to place so I'm not sure how much a Gtx 550 ti is worth where you live, however assuming that gtx 550 ti prices in my country  are similar to yours, I'd save money to buy at least a gtx 750 ti or , if you find a good deal, a 4gb radeon rx 550 (SpaceEngine runs on Nvidia cards just as well as on AMD cards, so there's no reason to only look at the graphics cards of only one of the two companies).

Other options, if you save money, are the 2gb radeon rx 550 and the gt1030 gddr5.
I just wouldn't go for a 2011 graphics card such as the gtx 550 ti, it's too old.
Of course, nobody stops you from buying it, but I'd save a bit more money to get something better.

The nvidia quadro t400 and the 4gb radeon r7 240 are good options too (although the r7 240 is an older gpu).
