I love how you had to give a disclaimer after every part of your PC 😂 I used to run a 1050TI which lagged around 1000 guests on medium settings.. moved up to a 1070TI recently and it's handling people better. Then again... I mostly play on creative so I can turn off the guests 😅
Hahaha I just don’t want people to buy my system thinking they need it 😂🙈 thanks for sharing too that’s really useful to know! Hopefully if everyone shares their experience then people can know what they might need to play on different settings 😊
As a child I had to upgrade my home pc to play zoo tycoon and here we are again now building an entire itx to play planet zoo - both true testaments to a mega power PC
I used an alienware 8gb ram, nvidia 970 when i started PZ, worked well with super-minimum low cartoon-ish graphics. But now I'm on 32gb ram , rtx 3060 ti and LOVING IT. so yeah, the difference between both performance is real.
Great informative vdeo Pawsbuild! Surprisingly I'm currently using the Steam Deck to play planet Zoo, and it runs great! I like your Setup, so the next time I upgrade my older PC , I'll tell Tech " I want what he has 😆". Excited for your upcoming Eco videos. God Bless!
@Leichtskorpion - Which version of the Steamdeck do you have? Ive been told that Planet Zoo won't run very well on a Steamdeck? But that seems a good option to go for as I don't use a PC?
I'm using an AMD 7 7800x3d and RTX 4070TI and the game plays amazingly. I currently have about 25 exibits, 3000 is guests and zero lag, once in a while I'll get some screen stutter when moving the camera to fast.
Coincidentally, I have an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti for a GPU. xD Along with an AMD Ryzen 3 2300X Quad Core for a CPU & 16GB RAM. Maybe a lil bit lacking tbh- only got this setup to run basic VR in the first place. Runs most games well enough for me though. The only thing I've noticed is that my game briefly stutters when zeroing on an animal if I have more than a few exhibits, but the game also decided to default at max graphics so alas. Glad to know the graphics can be changed without being a major disappointment to the gameplay though! This whole setup was 'round $700 total, minus the upgrade to the GTX 1660 Ti and the additional 8 RAM... when I get a job again I am 100% gonna see about investing in a heftier graphics card. >->;
I’m not a very techie person at all! A lot of this stuff was, exactly like you said, reading an alien language for me 😂 When my dad would upgrade his computer he would pass down his old one to my brother and then my brother would give me his old one so I never really concerned myself with computer stuff 🫣 Now my husband is the one who helps me with all this stuff! He actually has to remind me to up my settings in games because my computer can handle them and I don’t need to leave them on the default 😂
@@PawsBuild yes! Oh my gosh! I would play certain games with a low quality and then he would come in and adjust it all for me and BOOM 🤯 it was like a whole new looking game
So that must be the way to upgrade the PC to something that prevents from GPU crashing without warning, while from overheating in the same time, right?
(sigh) yeah im a console player sill waiting for it to come to console and im getting the idea it never will... but! im thinking of getting a pc so thanks for this guide
Hi Pawsbuild! I am going to buy a gaming computer, but I am struggeling with what monitor to buy. I do photo editing as a photographer, and want something that works for that, in addition to playing games. Is 60 hz enough for planet zoo?
I use Nvidia GeForce Now to host the game. I tend to get really into games for a month or so and then lose interest. So when I'm really into Planet Zoo I pay to get the premium service over the free. My laptop was just not able to play it unfortunately.
Yes GeForce Now is cool I used that a while back when it first came out and seems a good system (if you have good wifi). That’s the problem I think is a lot of people have laptops without a dedicated graphics card and want to play the game as they’ve seen it on YT and it’s quite graphically demanding so they then can’t get the same experience unfortunately 😕
I'm planning on getting the game and most of the DLC with the steam summer sale, and am going the gforce now route. I only have macs so the geforce now option over bootcamp is a welcome thing.
I get so confused with graphics cards. XD I have had stuff pop up for JWE2, but Planet Zoo hasn't popped anything saying upgrade graphic cards and it runs fine on my Alienware laptop minus the heat issue, but that is why I bought a cooling pad.
In my personal experience yes. I have had overheating issues with laptop and in a laptop you cant change parts easily, while in a pc you can easily upgrade ❤
Thanks for the info ! Very helpful. I know I need to upgrade mine but it can get really overwhelming. 😅I currently have an intel core i3-9100f which I know I need upgrading for sure. And a nvidia ge force green 1060. I have enough ram so think it’s just those two I need upgrading, anything you’d recommend or just what’s been said in the video? 🙂
It’s so hard to say because every person has a different opinion on what ‘acceptable’ is for playing a game (remembering my childhood playing video games on a laptop that was molten hot with the fans screaming at me thinking ‘this is fine’ 😂) but the problem you often find with intel cpus is that if you upgrade them you need to upgrade the motherboard too as the new cpu isn’t compatible with your old motherboard, and then if you upgrade the motherboard you then have to upgrade the ram as it’s not compatible and you end up with a whole new pc that costs you twice as much as your original budget 😂🙈 it is SO overwhelming and the terrible names of parts do not help at all! As a general rule for smooth gameplay in good graphics I’d go with my recommendation in the video but obviously it’s a subjective choice and you might be able to find some tech TH-camrs who talk a bit more about what different PCs can handle across different games 😊 I’m sorry that’s quite a vague answer there are just so many things that go into it and I’d hate to recommend you something that’s more expensive than what you need and you spend your hard-earned cash on it 🙈
@@PawsBuild thank you for taking time to reply! it is very overwhelming that's for sure and I'll definitely be doing my research! only really noticed week before last that my fans were going nuts when playing planet zoo then checked everything then realizing that things might need upgrading 😭😂 so you video was a perfect timing!
I needed this video! I am currently playing on a bit of a jagged laptop with nvidia geforce 950M and it is lagging soooo much even on low settings 😢 it is getting unplayable. I want to save up for a new pc so this is very helpful ❤ i am not very up to date anymore with all the computer stuff 😂
@@PawsBuildwe actually found a really good deal for an hp omen with Nvidia RTX 3070, ryzen 7 processor and 16 GB ram. Cant wait to try it out! I will share the performance for others aswell. 😊
@@darkside_himself yes the Intel I9 11900k is about equivalent to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x which is better than the CPU I recommended (my old one - Ryzen 5 3600). It’s not as powerful as my current cpu but I’m sure it’s powerful enough for PZ 👍😊
Yes I’d imagine you’ll be fine on high-ultra settings but I’d check what other people have said first and also the difference between medium, high and ultra settings is fairly minimal they’re all pretty great ☺️👍
I have got a small question, my birthday is coming up and i want to get a pc for planet Zoo and some other games. Are your recommendations the minimum that you need to run the game normally or are the graphics quite good with those specs on the pc?
My recommendations are for running the game with pretty much max graphics settings you can 100% run it on way less than what I’ve set out - I just know that most people want to max out the game to see the animals in as much detail as possible 😊 not necessary though as hopefully is clear from my video, the game looks great in Low settings in my opinion 👍
@@PawsBuild my birthday was 3 days ago thank you for the late congrats, i got a good amount of money from it so thx for the response, i might buy a pc with the money. Love the videos btw keep them coming❤️
I was wondering if you knew how to fix this problem. . . I downloaded some items from the steam workshop for the first time, but now my planet zoo is acting slowly, so I deleted those items from my game, but it's still acting slowly even though it hasn't before.
I would think so yes, but maybe check what other people have said about their systems to see as I haven’t played with a 1650 myself - honestly from the video you can kind of tell that the improvement between medium, high and ultra is minimal so I’m sure you’ll have a great experience with the game regardless! 😊
Thanks for sharing! I think unfortunately a lot of laptops use integrated graphics with the CPU so don’t have a dedicated graphics card which this game kinda needs to play as you see it on YT 😕
The Answer is: There is no PC that runs this Game well. The Engine is complete horseshit. Even with my 13700K+32GB DDR5-6000 at like ~400 Animals and 6000+ Guests the Game just craps itself and I get
I do agree it’s a demanding game on your system but honestly once my zoos get to that size there is so much upkeep involved I want to start fresh anyway so has never bothered me that much if the FPS drop 👍 I do think GPU impacts a lot of people’s experience though as it is fairly graphically demanding (not poorly optimised Ray-Tracing levels of demanding) but still demanding for those without high-end GPUs if you’re trying to run the game on max settings (which I think most people want to)😊
Yeh planet zoo is quite a demanding game but it depends on what graphics setting you need to enjoy a game. As I show in the video, I think the game is very playable on ‘low’ settings personally where you would not need a very powerful pc 😊
I boutgh it bc it was reallly cheap on promotion (27 reals wich is like 5 dolars) but it crashes unfortunately 🥲 soon when I get a new laptop or pc I'll be able to play it

If it runs fine and you’re happy with it then it’s perfect! 😊 The worst thing to do is spend money to upgrade something that doesn’t need upgrading 👍
Would you recommend a PC over a laptop (with the same specs) for this?
In my personal experience yes. I have had overheating issues with laptop and in a laptop you cant change parts easily, while in a pc you can easily upgrade ❤

I use an acer 6 Ultimate laptop PC and to be honest it's fine to run the game
On the rog ally z1 extreme what settings do you recommend I couldn’t find any tutorial all I found was that it only works in handheld
Is a Lenovo Legion t5 with 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD - GTX 1660 Super suitable to play Planet Zoo?
Yes I’d imagine you’ll be fine on high-ultra settings but I’d check what other people have said first and also the difference between medium, high and ultra settings is fairly minimal they’re all pretty great ☺️👍
FullHD is 1920x1080, 4K is 3840x2160, so it's actually only twice the resolution, not four times. Sorry, had to be a smartass :D
So there fit 4 full HD screens in one 4k screen.... So 4 times the amount of pixels.
