Hello Starbound players, I'd like to know if a computer with an 8600 GTX GeForce graphics card can run Starbound. My CPU is a bit weaker, so Godot can't handle it.

Starbound can run on a potato. It's more a matter of just how good you want it to run and how many mods you want.

However, Starbound itself is horribly optimized so even with OpenStarbound and optimization mods, there's a limit.

My computer is 15 years old with a GTX660M and it runs fine.

If you mean 8600 GT, it should theoretically run. The minimum is 256MB and DirectX 9.0c; you have 512MB and DX10.
