cant wait for the game upgrading graphics card for it

My wish-list for my next custom desktop PC will have
  • i9-9900k 5.0Ghz stock CPU (8 cores, 16 threads) CPU which has a very high single core clock speed.
  • EVGA GTX 2080 Ti (11GB GDDR6X, not just 4/6/8GB GDDR5 vRAM)
  • Samsung 2TB M.2 SSD
  • 32GB DDR4 RAM
.... Overkill yes, Expensive.... it's in-ev-i-tab-le... would cost around NZ$5,500. Whole new case, motherboard, everything. But this won't happen until early 2021.

Currently I have my 1st custom desktop PC:
  • EVGA GTX 1070SC (8GB GDDR5 @ 1888Mhz)
  • Intel Core i7-6700k 4.2Ghz
  • 16GB DDR4

The system requirements for Planet Zoo are higher than the system requirements for Planet Coaster 0.o

Will be upgrading my 4 year old HP laptop to the Surface Pro 7 when it comes out next week, with a 10th gen Intel Core i7 CPU with Intel Iris G7 Graphics! Which is better than just Intel UHD Graphics it's the Iris series. So you get more execution units than just e.g Intel 620 graphics, which my current laptop has (i5-6200U). It's also ultra portable and will be the 16GB DDR4X RAM version with 256GB SSD option.

So that means if you want to play Planet Zoo on recommended settings, you'll need a high end gaming PC, not just your average laptop people use for school/uni. Still looking forward to Planet Zoo. Enjoyed the Beta can play it in 4k settings but when we get carried away by building big parks, like Planet Coaster, that's when it starts to lag.

Thankfully some of the buildings come pre-made, like the main entrance brick building in the beta?, and also the staff buildings which don't seem to be piece by piece THANK YOU and some of them you can see INSIDE the building and watch the peeps. Incredible.
 
Note from my above comment my Surface Pro 7 when I get it in 2 weeks time won't be used primarily for gaming. But would like to do some light gaming on it. Should be able to play this on 720p low settings on smaller zoo maps. Will play it mainly on my custom desktop PC. At least the 10th gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 came out Q3 2019 according to Intel and it's fairly new. ICE LAKE is a better name than cabby lake or coffee lake. And it's a QUAD CORE CPU with Intel IRIS Graphics 64 execution units which can turbo boost to 3.9Ghz and is not a 14nm processor but a 10nm processor thingy. It will be at least 3x more powerful than my i5-6200U dual core processor.
 
RAM is cheap currently.
So I thought this would be the perfect time to upgrade to 32 GB for a bargain.
It wasn’t difficult at all to stick the bars into their slots.

Tomorrow I will bring the computer to the repair shop. 😭
 
Just put an order into PCSpecialist - new PC due end of next week... Bought my current rig for Elite Dangerous 5 years ago!! It runs, but it used to be a lot smoother! Hoping it lasts another 5 years!!

The quick update nobody is interested in:
I's been two weeks now and the repair shop guys haven't even found time to look at my comuter!
I still don't know, what is broken, what a repair will cost and how long it will last - or if there is anything broken at all!

Tigglesaurus' awesome count-down ticks down and instead of anticipation, I just get worried more and more ...
