Can the Inspiron 14 5440 run Kerbal Space Program?
Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Meets recommended requirements
The publisher lists Feature-level-only requirement (DirectX / OpenGL / memory size, no chip named) (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA GeForce MX570A: LIKELY. NVIDIA GeForce MX570A is tier 3; the requirement is tier 1. The publisher states 3 GB of video memory and this GPU has 2 GB, so the result is capped at LIKELY.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
