About
To enjoy a smooth experience in this space simulation, an entry-level GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT will meet the minimum requirements. For optimal performance, especially if you want to play at 1080p with higher settings, consider upgrading to a mid-range card such as the RTX 3060 or RX 6600. These options will allow you to take advantage of better textures and smoother frame rates, making the immersive gameplay more enjoyable.
The game is designed to be accessible, with lower-end hardware capable of running it at basic settings. However, if you're aiming for a more visually appealing experience at 1440p, a more powerful GPU will be necessary. Expect good performance with 16 GB of RAM and a solid CPU to support the game's real-time decision-making and simulation aspects. Overall, investing in a mid-range GPU will enhance your experience in this engaging and dynamic environment.
Performance profile
September 2026 release. As a current-generation title, Beyond The Cupola: ISS Simulator pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.
Simulation titles like Beyond The Cupola: ISS Simulator are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.
Extremely light — Beyond The Cupola: ISS Simulator runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
