Space Engineers 2 on Radeon RX 5600 XT

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon RX 5600 XT meets Space Engineers 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~35 fps at 1080p high (range 28–42, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB (~62 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 5600 XT back.
Processor needed for ~35 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~35 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 5600 XT: 6 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
