Posted March 5, 2018 So my friend has got me to play star citizen. unfortunately my computer is a 4790k 1080ti 16gig of ram. 500gig ssd. Do I need to update my ram to play at uber settings??? I initially passed on ryzen due to being minimal upgrade but investing in 16gb of ddr3 seems wasteful at this point in time. I dont play games on low settings... 3800X, Corsiar 32gig 3200mhz LPX, Asus Hero X570. 2080ti black edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 5, 2018 Unless you have a million tabs open in the background, 16gb should be plenty of ram.

Posted March 5, 2018 200 gigs of disk space?? I hope that at release they slim it down. I can't imagine the download times at launch day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 6, 2018 1. there is no uber setting and to be honest the graphics settings don't do much at all 2. as of now your fps are network bound so just throwing more hardware at it doesn't help 3. the current RAM usage is about 8 GB so as long as you have Chrome closed you're probably fine 4. 3.0.1 is the most unplayable patch we ever had so I'd suggest waiting 4 weeks 6 weeks for 3.1 Did you know this forum has an unofficial/official Star Citizen group? Head over to our organization's page, numerous forum threads or our LTTC Discord Server to find out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 8, 2018 @kiwibacon Your setup is more than enough to play star citizen at highest settings. The current alpha has performance issues that stem from bugs, memory leaks, server-side issues and lack of optimization... since it's an alpha. You may experience stuttering, framerate drops and occasional memory overloads, but those are not your system's fault. We are alpha testers... we may occasionally have fun in SC, but our main purpose is to point these things out and provide telemetry data so they can be fixed.

Posted August 25, 2018 I run Star Citizen using the following hardware: Z77 chipset i5-3570K @ 4.5 GHz 16 GB DDR3-2400 @ CL10 GTX 1070 @ 2050 MHz SC installed on a SATA III SSD ...on a 2560x1080 @ 144 Hz display In 'the persistent universe' ('Crusader'), I get whatever the current server-limited maximum is that other players are able to achieve; usually up to 40-45 FPS on a full server, but as high as offline mode performance when there are very few people and there is very little activity on the server. In 'offline modes' such as in a hangar or in smaller online areas such as in Arena Commander matches, I get frame rates ranging from 90-110~ at "Very High" -- but as previously stated, the current graphics settings have very little in-game effect either on visuals or performance. The biggest changes you can make are to turn off SSDO and motion blur. Your PC is ready to go for current and future releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
