The "Can I Run Planet Coaster" thread

Hi everyone I need a suggestion about the requirements for this game. I'm getting a new laptop soon and the one I'm
interested in is Lenovo Y700-15ISK 80NV00WRTA

Processor: i7-6700HQ Quad-Core Processor
Ram 8 GB DDR4 2113 (may add up more to 16GB)
Storage 1 TB
Video Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M 4GB DDR5
OS: Dos
Will I run Planet Coaster on this spec smoothly? Any suggestions would be nice :))

That's the same laptop I'm looking at buying from save on laptops.co.uk. lol
 
Hello guys, planning to buy a new pc, but don't have a high budget, around 300/400 euro.
Will i be able to run Planet Coaster on Medium with this and a good fps? And if not, what must be better?
Graphics card: GTX 1050 Ti
Processor: AMD FX 8350
Ram: 8gb
Motherboard: ASRock 970M Pro3

Many thanks!
 
Just a quick question to see where my bottle neck is with this game

Processor i5 3570 quad core (3.4GHz)
RAM 8gb
GeForce GTX 650 ti

On a large park with guests getting around 10 to 15fps and would like to boost that (at the moment the game also constantly crashes but hoping that is beta bugs and not my rig).

Any advice welcome

The biggest bottleneck is definitely your graphics card. It's almost 4 years old. Getting an extra 8 gb of ram would do you good too [up]

I was going to buy Game but my system wont run it and can't afford new computer right now with other bills in home and computer crashed and recently made repairs to fixed that cost less than 400. I am currently running an Intel I7 920 processor with 2.67GHZ / 24 gigs of Ram and Nividia MSI 970X 2 GB video card.
Video card and ram are way on the good side but the processor is not :(
 
Ok so I did test run on http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=23290&game=Planet Coaster and not original site.

First site said it won't run and this site with my processor for running game it gave me 8 out of 10. On first site it said I had nividia 970X 2gb but they only made 4gb with that series and it says I have 23.99 gigs of ram as I think the card I have is 4 gb.

The original site i wen to was http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/planet-coaster/13269

Any help can i run the game?
 
We only have Surfaces at Home and an very old Sony VAIO Notebook.
A Surface Pro 3, i5, 8GB RAM
A Surface Book, I7, 8GB RAM

Aren`t we able to play that phantastic new game [cry][cry][cry][cry][cry][cry]
 
Hi. Quick question: I have a pretty low-spec pc and can run the game at low/medium settings pretty well at 1080p. Specs are i3-4160, 8GB ram, GTX 780ti. I have a budget of around $250 for an upgrade. Would you first go for a CPU upgrade (to a i5) or a GPU one (to a 1060), in terms of improving the gaming experience a bit? Obviously both are needed over time, but any suggestions on what to do first would be appreciated. Thanks

That i3 is a dual core CPU. The i5 would be a quad core CPU. This would help with the simulation aspects of the game. I'm not entirely sure if you are currently CPU-limited or GPU-limited. Try changing the graphics settings lower or higher to see if your FPS goes significantly up or down. If you are CPU-limited then the graphics changes should have little impact on your FPS. If you are GPU-limited then the graphics changes will significantly impact FPS. This will help you nail down which component is holding things back the most. I have a feeling it's the CPU, but I'm not 100% sure.

You may also want to investigate Ebay for component upgrades on the cheap. My current CPU came from Ebay, and the old one was sold on there too. Might be a good way to upgrade on a budget.

Also, consider CPU overclocking. A modest overclock might help you extend the usefulness of that CPU. Don't worry that it lacks a K on the end -- overclocking is still possible with the right motherboard firmware.

Does that Surface Book have the dedicated GPU (dgpu) base or "performance base" option? If it does then you can play. If it lacks that option then, sadly, no, I would not recommend the game at this time.

The game probably won't run well for you, sorry. That CPU is going to cause problems. My advice to you would be to wait a week or two, buy the game on Steam, immediately download a workshop park, and then see how it performs. If the performance is not what you expected then refund it during the 2 hour window.

I see no problems with this setup. [up] These specs should help you hit your goal.

You can also consider the Nvidia 1060 and AMD 480 or 470 for graphics solutions. Note that this is not me saying there's something wrong with the 1050 Ti.

You'll be at low graphics settings probably...maybe a few mediums mixed in. The game will run though! [up]

Your bottleneck is the GPU. That 6-series card may not have all the instruction sets required by Planet Coaster. A Frontier dev would need to confirm this, but that's normally why they state 7-series GPUs. Performance isn't the only thing that changes from series to series.

I would recommend a GPU upgrade. Consider the Nvidia 960, 970, 1050, 1060, 1070, or AMD 470, 480. I do not think a CPU or RAM upgrade would have as much impact. Also, dropping background programs and optimizing your PC's behavior may provide a performance improvement for free if there's a bunch of stuff in your lower right taskbar.

It'll run! Probably at Low graphics settings though. Might get a couple Mediums in there. Game will run though! [up]

Thanks! Tired moving the graphics settings and it appears to be more a GPU than a CPU issue.

I am playing on the same specs except i have i5-6300hq and so far its been working fine. Im on low settings (I can play on medium at 35-40 but prefer 50-60 fps) I would assume the i7 would allow for much better performance as simulator type games are more cpu dependant . I can play other games on this with much better graphics so i dont think the graphics card would be an issue. I have almost 2000 guests in my park and it runs around 50-60 fps most of the time. for some reason it dips down to 23 fps when building a coaster, dont know why.
 
I've been playing on a i5-6600k with 16gb of ram and a geforce 970 GTX SSC with 4GB* DDR5

Been running 40-60 FPS with no issue. Even on heavier parks with 1600+ guests...
 
Hi, just wondering if my HP Pavillion laptop could run this?

Windows 10
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7620G + HD 8670M Dual Graphics
AMD A10-4655M APU
 
I have a Lenovo T430 (bought 4 years ago). Here are the specs I have found on DirectX Diagnostic Tool

Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core i5-3360M CPU @2.80GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory: 4096GB Ram (do I need to buy more of this, suggestions on where, how to install)
Under Display...
Name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Chip Type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
For what it's worth, I think my graphics card is actually NVIDIA 5400M Graphics with Optimus Technology, 1GB DDR3 Memory... When I search on the star bar for NVIDIA, I can open NVIDIA Control Panel.

Okay, so yeah, as you can tell, I am pretty bad with computers. I appreciate any and all help you guys can provide!
 
Does anyone happen to know if the system requirements have been changed since the release of Beta or if they will change further after final release?
