NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 and Stellaris: questions

Can the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 run Stellaris?

Yes, below the recommended spec: the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 clears Stellaris's minimum but not its recommended card. Expect about 23 FPS at 1080p on high; reaching 60 needs lower settings than low, or upscaling.

How many FPS does the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 get in Stellaris?

Modelled on high settings without upscaling: 23 FPS at 1080p, 14 at 1440p and 8 at 4K, with a processor that meets the game's recommendation.

Which card would run Stellaris at the recommended spec?

The lowest launch price among recent cards that meet it belongs to the Intel Arc A310 ($99).

Does my processor change this?

The figures assume a processor at or above Stellaris's recommendation. A slower one lowers the ceiling, most noticeably at 1080p.
