Starbound was released in 2016. No published benchmark of Starbound is in our dataset yet, so every FPS figure on this page is an estimate. Steam lists 256 MB graphics memory and directx 9.0c compatible gpu as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Starbound, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.

No measured data yet. We have not found a published benchmark of Starbound with a source we can link. The figures below come from our model and carry a ±30% band. How the estimate works.
