Demo for Planet Coaster [Please]

I know this has been ask early during alpha as I remember. As the game is officially launching in less than 7hours now, before buying the game of course I would like to know how much fps it gives with few thousand guest in the park.

All I want is be able to run on medium-low with 30+fps. Maybe someone with similar specs to me can tell how much fps you getting?

I am going to suggest now that at 1080p on low you will struggle with 30fps tbh once you get to a medium sized park 5 rides, a coaster and around 1200 guests. This is based on your specification and myself playing the game at the current state.

In regards to worrying. Buy it on steam, load up a park of the workshop and run your fps counter software and then just see if you can though. If you can't and feel it is too low ask for a refund. If it works all good

You have 2 hours within 14 days to get said refund.

Seeing that you're on a laptop, you may have throttling issues on the CPU and GPU due to things getting possibly rather hot. Planet Coaster is designed to take full advantage of your CPU and GPU.

Don't think we have plans for a demo right at this time.

Thanks for the answer, one more question is that this game is CPU or GPU hungry?
If it require more CPU speed/power, I have no problem overclocking that as I have done before to 4.2Ghz

I would say both, but that it is more likely to push your CPU more than your GPU, specifically when the park contains more than 2000 guests.

It's a bit on both here. The game will lean more on the CPU side of things once your park gets going.

This game tends to max out my AMD R9 390 which meets the "recommended" requirements for this game. However, Frontier is going to have to do a better job because my Intel Core i7-6700k is only being on average 52-68% utilized, just joking, it's a very good processor with a high BASE clock speed of 4Ghz with turbo boost to 4.2Ghz, which makes it one of the fastest stock clock speed processors probably on the market.

A lot of people with i7 processors and 2x GTX 980 or 1x GTX 1080 were running into like 10-15fps in the Alpha versions. But Beta version is a big improvement and the full version of this game will tweak it to improve optimization even a bit furtherer. In Alpha 3, I was running into 10.4fps on Pennington Park from Steam workshop which accumulated 11.5k people and I was playing it on 1920x1080 High. I think it may be a better idea to have the AI/game to give workload to the CPU. My AMD R9 390 only has a clock speed of 1040Mhz (Sapphire back plate version overclocked AMD R9 390). Where as my processor speed can do 4.2Ghz stock speed.
