I've seen the requirements, and really amazed that they're the same as EU4 and CK2. This game seems to be a lot more heavy on the graphics right?

So what do you think the bare minimum will be needed to run the game alright? Integrated chipsets will work?

It might, maybe not at the highest graphics or the highest FPS, but it should be able to run.

The problem is VRAM. It's pretty important, most integrated have 512 MB, when a PDX game requires 1024 MB.

I'm just happy the Nvidia 840M in my laptop can play it, despite being on the verge of being outdated.

CK2 yells at me about memory but runs fine. I'm figuring Stellaris will do the same.

Worst case scenario I can imagine with a rig that can do CK2, it will be like Fallout 4 is for me, where it runs fine at lowest settings, possibly requiring performing a bizarre and obscure ritual first.
