Can I just say I’ve been watching you for a while now and you inspired me to purchase the 400i and honestly it was worth every penny because the sheer beauty of it is something otherworldly🤩 I also just wanted to say keep up the great work and hope to bump into you in game sometime o7
Thanks mate. Glad that it served you. Enjoy your new ship. I LL put the link on the community page of RUclips of our discord group today so you can join.
Most of the information in the video might work for you, but it not actually a way to double your FPS like stated in the title. It would rather reduce your FPS. A quick search for a reddit optimization guide would probably help more. - Keep Volumetric Clouds on Off / Medium, any higher setting lowers FPS quickly on planets - Low Latency Mode in NVIDIA Control Panel causes issues for some players, leave it off - Also set your Power Management Mode in the NVIDIA CP to Prefer maximum performance, unless you are on a Laptop that is not plugged in. - Optimizing your windows would probably help a lot too, but please don't touch anything in your registry unless you know what you are doing. Windows optimization would be things like enabling Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, Using the correct Power Plan, Turning Game Bar off, Turning Game Mode on, Disabling not needed startup apps Putting the Shader Cache to 10GB is correct and will help.
For the love of God don't turn game mode on, google it and you will see difference in tests when it is turned off. Everything else is for lower power machines.
@infinitespace239 Game Mode just pauses Windows updates, restart notifications and prioritizes CPU and GPU resources more for games and takes them away from background tasks. Some games get better 1% lows with it on, some games have slighty lower Avg FPS, it depends on the System and the game. If your CPU can't handle the game and background tasks at once, prioritizing the game will help. Apart from the 10GB Shader Cache, anything in the NVIDIA control panel doesn't make a huge difference as long as its using the standard config. Anything mentioned in your video won't help if people are running their System on the "Power saver" power plan, which was not mentioned in the video. I'm not trying to come at you, I'm just trying to help people improve their experience in the game.

@@infinitespace239 those requirements were from 12 years ago. Minimum for now (from what i can tell from own use) for a 1080p resolution: cpu 4/6 core + 16Gb of memory + and a card (nvidia 2060 or amd 3600 maybe) with at least 6/8 gb of vram and this is without testing so mileage may vary.
Do you not enable full gpu sync in the console menu? I found this also gives 10/15 fps boost (hit the button above tab) then type r_ (hit tab 3 times) then set enable full gpu sync to 0.. also I found to fix micro stutters I use a program called process lasso (it’s free) I run a 2060 laptop and game works well enough to enjoy and play
Did you try the control panel setting to 1? As I have had fellow citizens who said it was already on 0 but when they changed it to 1 it also has a gain .. I just tried it on both settings to see if there was any difference and for me 0 gave me about 10/15 fps boost .. as for process lasso it basically disables all the cores running for the same process(you can do the same thing in windows ) but I’m not technically minded so process lasso was easier to do (with the help of a YT video) 😂
@@mlwg9317 It will, but you won’t have screen tearing and a smoother experience. The fps cost is very little, at least with my system and monitor (LG 42” 4K @120 Hz C2 OLED).

Some good tips. I have no issues with performance max settings 1440p 60fps locked my pc cost 6800 dollars. I recommend 1440 wide screen 3440 or wider. 4k and star citizen aren't compatible for stable FPS. Thanks for the video
@@infinitespace239 thank you. The key difference is I'm running 1440p to your 4k with a very similar gpu I have the 3090oc strix. If I was to run 4k I wouldn't have 60fps stable
No, dont do that, it will only push you card all the time to max without giving anything. I have done the benchmarks no difference what so ever, better keep it as normal. Test it for yourself.
@@infinitespace239 Max performance can indeed be set in the NVidia control panel, but you are correct it is less optimal if you have that in the global setting. However I would recommend setting it in the NVidia control panel for the SC executable itself. That way, after you quit, the system will switch back to the global setting = less power draw and less heat/noise.
@@infinitespace239 It won’t do anything with your GPU, max performance is something for the CPU, where it is forced to have as little downclocks as possible, busses are kept to the maximum speed, etc. When the CPU load is highly variable, this should give a noticeable performance increase. If the load is already high, but not variable, it won’t make much difference. So, in effect this setting doesn’t ‘cost’ much effort, as you can make it application specific in the NVidia control panel. When playing a game, you want max performance and if the game is already ‘flat out’, it won’t make a difference for wattage and heat anyway. But if the game has a variable CPU load, it will give you always the best performance possible. I’m all for saving power, but not when I need my system to run at peak performance. This setting takes care of that, while if it is not needed (when not playing a game), it can be made to switch back to the global default, saving power.
To be honest yes your settings are helpful but you are already playing with a top spec pc. Even you can affrod a 4k monitor. so why dont you focus on lover spec pc's so how to get better fps on lower spec computers. I would easily get smooth fps if I had 4090 and 4k too.
Actually you would not. Game is still in development and you will have same experience with 1080 and 3090 full of stuttering if you don't do this what I just did. If you have low spec Pc do everything that I did just disable planet volumetric clouds and lower resolution to your native. You will see difference. Test it and report back.
@@infinitespace239I run a 4090 and I can confirm what you say that SC doesn’t really benefit from it that much. My rig runs slightly faster (@4K) than yours I think. Usually up to ~100 fps during quantum jump. Lowest is 30-50 at say New Babbage. Gsync does help a bit, but it will stutter from time to time. Atm SC just can’t really be stutter free. As SC isn’t graphically optimized yet, a 4090 isn’t a sound investment atm. Then again, I also play other games like MS FS and DCS World in VR and in such case the 4090 is a lot faster compared to my previous 3080Ti. Cheers o7
@@infinitespace239 I think SC is more processor heavy than GPU, I noticed a large performance increase once I installed a really beefy CPU. Of course probably the single most important thing for SC to run right is a SSD.
1920x1080 is way too much for this GTX980, though i havent tried it since doing a lot more reductions in the custom USER.cfg - gonna give that a try later...
Sorry bud I tell it how it is and that's the worst settings video I've ever seen nice try though. no DLSS ? & everything on high & chromatic aberration turned to 0 gets rid of blurring from DLSS I believe you basically put stock settings in & called video double performance? lol cool story.....
This is a terrible video. I f you don't know what you are talking about just stay silent. Picking just one thing off the top of my head. Turning Vsync off is not universal advice.

Infinite space is definitely in the right here. If v sync is causing screen tearing you have more serious problems. I recommend taking your computer to a reputable tech to have it looked at.
I can recommend setting the brightness somewhere around 45-48 and contrast to 55-58 for players that don’t want to use any extra software or hdr.
