Spore — system requirements & benchmark status
This game is in the catalog, but no published review benchmarks have been collected for it yet — so this page carries no frame-rate numbers, no verdicts and no estimates. Below are the publisher's own system requirements and what they say about the hardware the game targets. A game joins the calculator only when published review benchmarks cover both its CPU and GPU sides.
Developer: Maxis™ · Publisher: Electronic Arts · Released: Dec 19, 2008 · Genres: Action, Adventure, Casual, RPG, Simulation, Strategy

System requirements — Spore
As published by the publisher on Steam (checked 4 November 2026). Requirements are the publisher's target figures, not measurements — they describe the hardware the developer aims at, not the frame rate any part delivers.

| Processor | 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium® 4 or equivalent |

Hardware demand level
Low — estimated from the graphics card named in the minimum requirements above (integrated graphics). The demand level classifies the publisher's published requirements only; it is not a benchmark result and predicts no frame rate.
Benchmark status
Not yet measured. Bottleneck Verdict adds a game to the calculator when published review benchmarks cover both sides at the game's highest settings, native resolution, no upscaling — the same bar the measured games met. Until then this page claims no performance figures for Spore.
