Can I Run Astronomy VR?
A student gets into a detailed simulated solar system: 10 planets, an Asteroid belt, satellites, and even space junk around the Earth. There are two modes: learning mode, where the student in an in...

Can you run Astronomy VR?
Astronomy VR targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GTX 1070 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Astronomy VR's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
