Star Wars Galactic Racer System Requirements

Minimum System Requirements

To run Star Wars Galactic Racer at a playable level, your PC must meet the following minimum specifications. These specs target 30 FPS at low settings and 720p resolution.

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4GB) or AMD Radeon RX 460 (4GB)
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 30 GB available space
• Network: Broadband Internet connection

Meeting these requirements will allow you to experience the core gameplay, but expect lower visual fidelity and potential frame drops during crowded races.

Recommended System Requirements

For a smooth 60 FPS experience at 1080p with high settings, aim for the following recommended hardware.

• OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5700 (8GB)
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 30 GB SSD
• Network: Broadband Internet connection

With these specs, you can enjoy detailed track environments, smooth particle effects, and consistent frame rates, which are crucial for high-speed racing.

Storage and Performance Tips

Optimizing your setup can improve performance even if your hardware is slightly below the recommended specs.

Consider the following adjustments to boost your FPS:

• Lower Shadow Quality: Shadows are resource-intensive. Reducing them to medium can provide a significant performance gain.
• Disable V-Sync: This can reduce input lag, but may cause screen tearing. Use it only if you experience tearing.
• Update GPU Drivers: Ensure you have the latest drivers from NVIDIA or AMD for the best compatibility and performance.
