Why Between the Stars is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Between the Stars. GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 470 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Between the Stars within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Between the Stars takes about 5 GB of disk space. Between the Stars expects 16 GB of system memory. It targets DirectX 10, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Between the Stars?
Between the Stars targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 660 Ti / Radeon R9 270X and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 470 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.24x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.26x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.56x |
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.
