X4: Timelines System Requirements

While the minimum requirements (Intel i3-4170, Nvidia GTX 960 / AMD RX 560, 8 GB RAM) allow you to play, expect lower graphics settings and potentially lower frame rates. Performance may be significantly impacted in busy areas.

For minimum settings, an Nvidia GTX 960 or AMD RX 560 is required. For a smoother experience with higher settings, an Nvidia GTX 1070 or AMD RX 5700 is recommended.

A minimum of 8 GB of RAM is required to run X4: Timelines. However, 16 GB of RAM is recommended for optimal performance and to avoid potential stuttering, especially with higher graphics settings or mods.

While technically possible, running X4: Timelines on integrated graphics is not recommended. You will likely experience very low frame rates and significant performance issues, even on the lowest settings. A dedicated graphics card is highly recommended.

The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, you can likely run the game on high or ultra settings. If you only meet the minimum specs, start with low or medium settings and adjust upwards until you find a balance between visual quality and performance.
