Everspace 2 PC graphics settings

System requirements for Everspace 2

Everspace 2 has a decent selection of graphics settings to manipulate. Personally, I prefer more granular settings, but all the basics are taken care of here and there is enough to tweak here to get performance exactly where you want it on your platform. But, it still doesn't hurt to know what are the system requirements for Everspace 2. Below are the official specs determined by ROCKFISH Games. Keep in mind that these can change as development progresses. The minimum system requirements should get you 30 fps with low 720p settings, and the recommended system requirements should get you 60 fps with high 1080p settings.

MINIMUM:

• Requires 64-bit processor and operating system
• Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core [email protected] or AMD FX [email protected]
• Memory: 8 GB of RAM
• Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290 (4 GB)
• DirectX: version 11
• Storage: 50 GB of available space
• Additional Notes: The game is in early access; minimum specifications may change during development.

ADVISED:

• Requires 64-bit processor and operating system
• Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core [email protected] or Ryzen 5 [email protected]
• Memory: 16 GB of RAM
• Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB)
• DirectX: version 12
• Storage: 50 GB of available space
• Additional Notes: SSD recommended. The game is in early access; recommended specifications may change during development.

Everspace 2 graphics settings

As you can see, Everspace 2 isn't too demanding for a game to run, so even those of you with aging hardware from the past six years should be able to trigger it and achieve playable performance. Below is a list of all graphics settings currently available in Everspace 2, although these may change during Early Access.

DISPLAY:

• Resolution (internal resolution and screen)
• Display mode (full screen, windowed-full screen, windowed)
• Gamma (adjust brightness: 0,0 - 1,0)
• V-Sync (on or off)
• FPS Cap (On or Off)
• Max FPS (enabled with FPS Cap on: increases in five increments from 30 to 150)

QUALITY:

• Preset (assigns all options to the corresponding preset: (Custom, Low, Medium, High, Epic)
• Anti-aliasing (low, medium, high, epic)
• Effects (low, medium, high, epic)
• Post-processing (low, medium, high, epic)
• Shading (low, medium, high, epic)
• Shadows (low, medium, high, epic)
• Texture (low, medium, high, epic)
• View distance (low, medium, high, epic)
• Volumetry (low, medium, high, epic)
• SSGI (Screen Space Global Illumination - can best be described as a rasterized imitation of ray tracing global illumination: On or Off).

DIVERS

• Motion blur (on or off)
• Chromatic aberration (on or off)
• Lens Flares (on or off)

Everspace 2 is already a solid player in Early Access, but there are a few settings that can be safely reduced to improve performance without losing too much image quality. SSGI isn't as punchy as real ray tracing, but it still allows for more dynamic indirect lighting and dynamic emissive lighting, so turn it off first if you're having performance issues. From there, you can safely reduce shadows, volume, effects, post-processing, shading, and anti-aliasing to Medium without losing too much visual quality (in this recommended order). Motion blur, chromatic aberration, and lens flare have little to no impact on performance, so adjust them to suit your personal visual preferences.
