I am so glad that you took in the accessoires for Star Citizen. Tobii Eye Tracker in particular is increasing the state of immersion so much that I cant see how this would not be on the shoppinglist of every Citizen whom engages in dogfights from time to time.
Yeah, it does sound awesome, but I'm holding off to check the VR support. The way they've implemented Star Citizen, with a huge focus on immersion, really suits VR.
It's not on my shopping list. It's overpriced with 279 Euros. For a 100 less I would consider buying one.
@@FlitwickGE agreed that luxury items could be cheaper. But on the other hand we have to pay 1000$ for a GPU to get some frames while the Tobii allows you to get an additional sense of your surroundings through the introduction of your eye movement in synergy with your mouse movement. I have to say for me it's well in range price wise to be considered.
One of the best things I have added, I had the original but it sadly broke and have the tobii 5.
I have started looking at this, it brings up all sorts of interesting questions, contrary to many I think the quest 3 Excella at the price point and is quite amazing, add to that passthrough, HD ect I am close to thinking even without vr its looking very viable at some point very soon for SC.@@tarekmoneimsaid
Ultrawide is a must for star citizen for me. Started on a regular 16:9 but after getting a 32:9 the difference in immersion is night and day.
What do you have your fov set at and what not? I couldn’t get it to look right on mine so I’ve been just playing at 16:9
such an annoying spot for gpus, my 3080ti is not enough. 7900xtx/4080 not exactly good for much longer, not buying a 4090
Also no good low imput/oled ultrawide or decent HDR. Some decent high refresh rates but not super good. I'm fine with my lg 34gp but there's tons of room for improvement
UW is 🤢

Very nice accessory section, I wasn't thinking about such things when clicking on the video, but they matter a lot for this game. GameGlass, the eye tracker and HOSAS are the way to go! Extra points for the eye tracker as it can be used is a lot of games (nearly all Ubisoft games, for example).
7800x3d platform is objectively the best money can buy today, GPU is secondary if you're in 1080 or 1440
Only for certain games. There are many PC specific titles, simulators in particular, that still really prefer the higher single core performance of intels.
Voice attack is something I would recommend every commander in the verse also. It’s just so satisfying and effective. You can even choose an Ai voice to your liking.
What is voice attack and what do it do
As soon as SQ42 hits the market I will upgrade my PC with all the needed accessories. It is really interesting to see what to focus on and to know that the GPU is not the bottleneck of the system. Didn't think about the Eye Tracker and those mounting systems for the joysticks.
Great video, all the info I am interested in, no BS style! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video...Its all ive been searching for the past few weeks.. a "good pc build for star citizen" so this couldnt have come at a bettere time. Thanks again bro subbed
Thanks for subbing!
What is your budget for your build?
Upgrading from 16gb of ram to 32gb was the cheapest biggest improvement i made.. Literally monumental..
2024 should be interesting: vulkan, DLSS support, and hopefully the start of their ray-tracing efforts. In particular on the GPU side...
Was really hoping they'd start working on DLSS, and low and behold, some basic Global Illumination. Let's hope they add some reflective stuff and maybe in a few years time, path tracing.
I'm really skeptical we gonna see anything from those features in 2024. There was no gameplay demo only tech showcased. I would say after the next citcon there will be probs more details on those.
@@XxXnonameAsDXxX are you for real? Gameplay has nothing to do with the rendering pipeline. They showed what matters: rendering the game in real time with those features 🤣 so that's literally all that's needed. It is not like they just talked about it. What's likely to happen is tech preview builds to test compatibility with gpus, optimization and improvement. All perfectly feasible in 2024. In the next citizen con I would expect to see their next leap forward. They indicated that would be likely frame generation, but they cautioned that they first need to reach a consistent high performance level before frame gen is even useful. Tests on this channel shoehorning AMDs frame generation show the issues.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for researching this! I made the right decision subbing to your channel!
Man, what a great video. Top notch quality and awesome research. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Your info is concise and to the point which is very much appreciated!! Lots to think about. lol
This video is very well put together, thx!
Would be good to see these high end PC builds tested on high end resolutions, 5120x1440 at least. Why buy 5k+ pc's and then run it on a puny 27inch monitor.
I'm glad I went to your video, now you made it easier for me to choose a graphic. Thank you
Got a 7900x3d for $275 and a 6950xt for $550 I’ll post SC results when build is done after Black Friday parts arrive
Let us know how it performs!
Bro, I'm listening
🤔🤔
Really appreciate this video! Thanks for the research.
If you're going for more expensive GPUs, always remember used 6900xt and 7900xt cards can be gotten for as little as $500 and $600 respectively
I don't know about 6900 and above but I have 6800 XT and it runs the game extremely poorly I just uninstalled the game. It was unplayable at 1080p lowest settings.
@@eckee how long did you play the game for? Also high settings run better than low settings, for some reason. I’m getting “playable” fps on my 6650xt at 1080p
@@obj_obj not much. I played the tutorial. Woke up, took the train to the landing zone, took off, went to the orbital station and landed there.
@@eckeethe game is compiling shaders for like 30 minutes after you first launch it and that tanks the performance until it's done
@@obj_obj ok I'll try again thanks. I haven't noticed any progress bar on the screen btw.
Love the video. I upgraded to the 7800X3D CPU a few months ago. Went with 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30. Should be good for some time. The 7900XT seems to get 100 fps walking around New Babbage maxed out 1440P but I have not played much recently so not sure about other areas. Was going to start playing again soon. 4K would be el-primo but to get the same fps in most games you need to add around $1100 difference to the system going from 1440P to 4k just to maintain the same general fps. That would be basically going from decent 1440p GPU's like 4070ti/7900XT class to an RTX 4090 ($800 more) and adding another $300 for the equivalent quality and refreshrate monitor in 4k. Personally I would go with 1440P based ultrawide. You can almost stick with the $800 GPU's in that case and save alot.
It will also do 100FPS at Orison with little to no dips/
Nice Video, thx for the advice!
No problem!
Perfect timing, it's about that time for me to build a new PC with primary game of Star Citizen :) Thank you!
For joysticks I tried out the T16000M but quickly found out I needed a lot more buttons. If you can I would go right to VKB or Virpil sticks. I currently have two Virpil Alpha sticks and are Extremely happy with them. They are smooth and precise and have so many buttons and hats on them it’s crazy. If you are going with a high end build then don’t skimp on the sticks.
The company that makes the sticks have other models with more functionalities.
Yeah... I would say that VKB Gladiators are the starters for Star Citizen. Anything less is garbage. Gladiators are well worth the money. However, Gunfighters are not IMO. If one is going to spend VKB Gunfighter money, you are doing yourself a disservice by not just getting Virpil sticks. Once you've used Virpil, you understand. It's like going from 1080p (VKB Gladiators) to 4k (Virpil Constellation Alphas or better).
I did a 7800x3d and 6700xt with 32gb of ram and it runs great
for me too with RX6700 nonXT (10GB) and Ryzen 5800X3D
It should be noted that they’re working on integrating the Vulkan API, and DLSS (so you could benefit very much in the future from a high end GPU)
I feel like pedals should also be mentioned in a dual stick set up. I run 2 16k's with a Logi g27 giving me pedals, and all the extra buttons from the shifter, a very understated configuration. Thank you for the excellent update of gear worthy of SC.
Yeah I'd like to check out pedals as some point!
My 7800x3d runs this game very well. I get FPS drops in cities or on some planets with storms but everyone does.
And it runs relatively cool and efficiently.
What are your specs?
@@MrAnimescrazy 7800x3d, RTX 4090, and 64 GB RAM (DDR 5 6000 CL30) I have the game on 990 Samsung Pro drive.
The 7800x3d will eventually be replaced when AMD comes out with a better CPU, and I don't consider the 7950x3d better, not for gaming anyway.
SC is not optimized so cities and some places like Aberdeen with clouds enabled mess with the FPS.
One of the absolutely best videos on Star Citizen PC's, result I followed all the recommendations and WOW amazing performance upgrade!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. Very informative. I especially appreciated the info on nvme vs ssd drive performance.
thanks so much for this video i am on the market soon to build a new pc my pc is 6 years old generation 6 i5 and Radeon 570 rx so i been scrambling my head on what to build that is not going too crazy thinking in a few years i may have to upgrade but for now i removed SC it was pointless but had enough fun to know a bit about the game.
Thanks for your help once again.
What are your future specs?
For joysticks i cannot recommend anything other than the VKB gladiators or the virpil ones
Now if the T16000M was upgrade to have hall effect twist then it would be a different story
Only way i can recommend the T16000M is if the person is confident enough to cut off the POT sensors and solder on and hot glue down a hall effect sensor and do the required step of adding and subtracting magnets to calibrate them so the calibration software shows green when the grip is together
I used the SS49E myself to do it after someone else said they got them to work, it was a pain in the but as you need the end of the magnets your glueing down to be really far away from the side of the grip and even solder on the hall sensor to that side so you can calibrate it for bot sides by bending the sensor further or closer to the side of the grip
Havent tried SS495A but they should be far easier to calibrate magnet placement side of things but cannot confirm that
Use N52 magnets only otherwise you will have issies
Could someone please advise me on whether Process Lasso will be able to help my situation or not? If it can then what settings should I be looking at? I'm attempting to build a lite workstation/gaming pc for Star Citizen and Inventor CAD with CFD simulation. I know this is not optimal but it was the best I could figure to do both for now.
OS Windows 10 Pro for Workstation (vs. 11 for stability AutoDesk is slow to change)
MB Asus ProArt Z790 Creator
AI optimized OC and dynamic voltage control
CPU Intel i9 14900K (Liquid Cooled)
GPU PNY NVIDIA RTX A5000-PB 24GB VRAM (for CAD certification with some game performance real-time raytracing engine for when that comes out in SC)
RAM Corsair Renegade 6800 DDR5 192 GB
SSD M.2 Kingston Furry 2X 2TB
It seems to run like a race horse for some things while getting bogged down for some Single Core operations. I want to optimize Single Core operations for SC while not holding back when grinding CFD simulations.
Thanks everyone!
Nice Video buddy! Keep up the good work!
Extremely well done. Thank you🫡
thank you so much for this video. Building a new pc soon and this answered so many freakin SC questions I can't even tell you!!1! Thank you..!
Happy to help!
Very excited for my new build after seeing this. 7950x3d and 7900xtx feels like ill be perfectly set
Yep should be good for a long while!
Imagine getting the best card and cpu available and still needing a video to validate your purchase...f*cking r*tard.
Which is what i thought like 8 years ago with sli gtx 670s and a 3930k. the cards were then marketed as the solution to run SC at high fps roflmao
why are you going with a 7950x3d over a 7800x3d?
@@nathanforrester5140coz it is better if you know how to set it up
thank you for this very helpful video and for the advice your are giving. looking forward to your future videos. keep up the good work and have a good day.
Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for the kind words!
This video couldn’t have come out at a better time for me lol thank you!
Happy to help!
thankjs i got a 5800x cpu 32 gb ram and the 7900 xtx which i upgraded so the cpu is a bit pants, it runs SC at 80 fps but really poor on the tutorial, looks and feels like dog poop,the game will eventually get put right and can be amazing or is it just the way it is?
Not to mention it can probably play any game on the planet if you do build a hi end PC now for SC and SQ42
A very good point!
Thanks man exactly what im looking for nice. 🖥
Thanks for this, good info. Everyone says dont build for SC. I get what people are saying, I really do, but my hanger is looking at me like I better not be deciding on "good enough" parts. Space dad wants what space dad wants.
What are your specs?
A well made, informative video as always! Thanks tenpound
My pleasure!
I am on am4 b350 started with a 1300x / 3600 and 5700x, should I upgrade to a 5800x3D?
Another great vid, thanks again for all the hard work!
Thanks!
really awesome video, thanks!
I just upgraded from 12700k DDR4 3000 to 14900K DDR5 6000 CL30. With my 4080, the performance increase is incredible. I still have to turn off the e-cores with Project Lasso in order to get stuttering under control.
How do you do that?
i want to correct somethin here, im assuming u didnt know, i had a normal SSD pcie3.0 and i had stutters, i only upgraded it to samsung 970 EVO nvme, and now all the stuttering is gone, its super smooth ever since, there are still some stutters but not evry 3-5 seconds, only in very unoptimised areas, suprisingly not even in Orison, jst wanted to point that out
Great video and good tips. I'm still playing on my 9-ish year old X99 platform with a 6th-gen I7-6850K and 32GB RAM. I've upgraded my GPU to a 3080 but I am dreadfully CPU-limited in busy areas. I play at 1440P and it's actually been great with all the latest AAA titles. Only exception is Star Citizen. I know server performance is the biggest limiter at the moment, but large draw-call areas are pulling the frames down to the low 30's. I think I've squeezed every last bit of value out of my rig and I think I will donate it at some point when I build new end of this year. (I'm keeping my GPU but might throw in the 2080Ti I upgraded from) There's something to be said about keeping electronics and computers for a very long time. It's difficult to resist getting the latest and greatest every year but it's not necessary. Any rig you build today (considering you didn't do a strictly-budget build) will last well into the SQ42 release cycle. Just keep in mind the tips given in the video and get the best CPU/GPU/Ram combo you can afford now, as it really does go a long way towards remaining relevant years down the road.
I've used both Tobii eye tracker and TrackIR. Track IR seemed a little more responsive but ultimately I stuck with tobii because I don't wear headphones and wearing a hat with the reflective device is annoying. Tobii was just set it and forget it, and it works just fine.
3060 ti should i upgrade to 7700 xt or 7800 xt. And it’s worth the upgrade?
Awesome video man!!
Appreciate it!
Good Review, But I would recommed a fast nvme drive for all that future streaming tech.
Yeah maybe a good call! But it's not too much of an extra cost to add to a build at a later date!
Thanks so much man awesome video
No problem!
would there be a lot of a difference between performence between the R5 7600x and R7 5800x3d?
In general its best to just set pc with newest/highest components. Im doing it every time and got to build new pc. That what i got now got around 6years now - this year i have to finally build new one.
What are your future specs?

9. CPU frame for better cooling and thermal paste kyronaut - thermal grizzly
Your channel is one of the best.
Your videos was one of my source or information. So I ended up with a 7950x3d coz I use many programs while playing star citizen and a 7800x3d would collapse

Do you have anything more to suggest that I could buy to make my experience better? I would appreciate it highly!
Glad the channel is helpful!
I think you have everything covered, that's a great setup!
That is a crazy set up.
After 10 +years finaly got a pc in 2022 and I'm now playing this game. I have no problem running it, however I have a High end pc.
12900k
3080ti
64gb 3600 ram
1tb nvm + 2tb nvm
1200w PSU.
Very nice system!
I chose to get some more life out of my 9900K platform and upgraded my GTX 1080 to an RTX 4080, along with a proper case that'll fit the darned thing and a new PSU to keep it happy. Also bit the bullet on a proper 64GB DDR4 kit since RAM prices are fairly reasonable atm and for those wondering: my system uses between 30 and 36GB of RAM with the game running and Discord on a second screen. Also upgraded my screens from 2560x1080 and a full-HD secondary to 3440x1440 and a 4K secondary in an attempt to lift some of the heavy lifting off' the 'ol 9900K. The whole dual stick setup i will take a look at at a later time. Done with investing in my system for the rest of the year ^^
This is good info to know especially for those of us who still have our beastly 9900k and are wondering what the cost/benefit ratio of an upgrade might be vs a new platform. I'm curious what model of ram did you go with and what fps do you regularly get in sc?
I recently got an i7-14700K upgrade to my "old" i7-10700K to pair with my 3090 GPU, I got a DDR4 motherboard so that I could reuse my 64GB RAM. The performance improvement by just swapping the CPU was huge. The 14th gen CPU cost $10 more than the 13th gen, but I got 4 more cores, a 200MHz increase in turbo boost clock, and 3MB more "SmartCache". I also develop software and the extra cores help reduce SW build times, so the extra $10 to go 14th gen was a no-brainer. The DDR4 probably holds it back 5% compared to average DDR5 modules, but that probably translates to 2-3 FPS drop in SC, which varies much more than that anyway as you move around.
I have a LG TV OLED C3 55" @70cm far away. This paired with the tobii eye tracker 5. With this much screen estate I can turn my head and see everything so easy and it feels way more like a SIM then I would have with a ultra wide or just a small screen.
Jealous! I bet that looks stunning!
@@tenpoundfortytwo Yes, this monitor was actually the reason why I bought the Tobii. Both together work so damn well and the immersion is soooo awesome.
Unfortunately, my 6800 XT doesn't manage a constant 60FPS in 4k. The card just about scrapes 60fps but where it counts it manages it.
7900 XTX board partner card or 4080 also board partner, difficult decision : D
The minimal price difference today is around 310€
@@Vanadiumdid you pick the 7900xtx or the 4080 or are you going to wait for the new 4000 series cards next year?
Great review and info. Also, Predator mounts are amazing but be prepared to wait 3 months or more.
Regarding cameras and phones, it's worth pointing out that phones often have MUCH better cameras than webcams do.
good vid, well done ^^
Thanks for the hardware update! Was just about to buy a nvme gen5 just for Star citizen. Can a separate disk boost a bit? Need more storage anyway, but instead look for a second gen4
I've not looked properly at separate drives- but I don't think it would make any difference to performance. Shouldn't hurt though!
I’m rocking a 5800x3d, 3080ti, m.2 and 64gb ram. It runs “ok” most of the time but the server still lags
is a build with 13600kf, 7800xt, ddr4 32 ram, with ssd good for star citizen?
I'm guessing the answer is no, but have you retested the 7900xtx with the updated drivers that dropped on November 2, 2023? Im asking because you previously said the 7900xtx might be able to get significantly better performance with updated drivers, and the data you showed looks like what you got from the "og" drivers in the 7900xtx that overheated and sent backbto get the 4080.
If you keep making videos like this, I'll keep watching them
Great video, thank you! Glad i just changed to the 7800x3d and sending back the 7600x. Gonna test if the 7800xt oced is as good as the 6950xt and then i keep one of them.
I went from 32GB DDR4 3200 to 64GB DDR4 3600 this week and I noticed a *slight* improvement in the lows. Then I basically nuked my SSD page file and set it to 16MB - 1GB (down from like 32000MB - 64000MB) and I got a slight bump in frames after testing. Maybe like 5 fps on average. Then again, I usually run a lot of programs in the background. Does this sound right to you or is this placebo or some other tweak that I might of done to warrant this? It runs noticeably smoother with a slightly higher framerate. Not sure if it's just me though. What do you think? Great video as usual 42! o7
For reference, the rest of my specs are:
5900X with an overclock
4080 with an overclock
NVME SSD 512GB
i think it is worth it. sc eats ram.
finally it's the time to start saving for the star citizen pc :D
What are your future specs?
Just put together a new one before seeing his recommended here.
Asus B650E-F. I don't need all the fancy features for OC'ing, but this one still allows it.
AMD 7800 X3D. Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE air cooler. Temps run at 55-60C. Fans on auto run at 1000-1200 RPM and I don't hear them.
Playing SC at 4k on very high settings.
64 gigs Corsair Vengence 6000mhz CL 30. Note: 7800 X3D does not like 4 sticks of ram when using EXPO. Do your homework.
NVME WD 850N Black.
Asus RTX 4070 Dual OC
Few other addons
Total cost about $1500 plus taxes.

Used this video to help build my new rig and it is AWESOME! Thank You! (I liked and subbed) I Had a question, though, what are your recommendations for the best Star Citizen graphics settings for high-end PCs?
Glad it was helpful! Ultimately the best way to make the game look better is to play at a high resolution. The clouds are the only real thing that change performance right now- but for most people I would recommend sticking to medium. CIG have said they will provide more graphics options at some point- but that was a while ago!
Hello! Thx for your content again!
Happy to help!
Thank you. Thinking of a 7900x3d with 7900GRE... but only at the start of next year.
Very good Setup
Bought this game years ago, but never really played it as the FPS was always so low.
Just upgraded to a Ryzen 9 5800X and RX 6850 XT, so looking forward to (hopefully) trying it! 8)

What are your specs?
@@MrAnimescrazy I just finished my build not long ago. Amd 7800X3D, with 4070ti
@@TheValkian that is a nice build.
What would you suggest for a keyboard tray/mount? They are surprisingly hard to find and many don't have the ability to change the angle of the mounting.
Good question- but I don't have any expertise in that I'm afraid. www.youtube.com/@UndeadParrot might be worth an ask!
I bought a 7800x3d during black friday for a new build. Curious what the minimum GPU you would recommend to not be wasting the power of the CPU at 1080p and 1440p (so neither the CPU is bottle-necking the GPU, nor the GPU bottle-necking the CPU). Based on this video it seems like (on the nVidia side) the 4060ti would be a good match for the 7800x3d at 1080p, and the 4070 would be a good match at 1440p. Does that seem correct?
Another way of phrasing my question: if I am going with an RTX 4070 and playing at 1440p, will I notice any difference at all in Star Citizen between a Ryzen 5 7600(non-x) and a 7800x3d?
@@unboundmethodlook at comparison videos on youtube with your specs to see which cpu is better?
Great video! Can you maybe share your Tobii settings in SC? It is working okish for me, but the movement is not as fluid as my TrackIR used to be.
I'm going to be making a new video about it in the next couple of weeks- good suggestion about discord!
You cover everything. Nice job. Just upgrading my pc from 9700k to 7800x3d and wanted to know if 32gb is enaf 4 star citizen. I have a 1440p monitor with gsync module. Waiting with the 3070 upgrade with all problems 4000 series has. Am waiting till CES 2024 to se what those super series offers with their updated 12v connector.
Thanks! For most people 32gb is enough, but if you've got lots of other things going on in the background, 64gb might be worth it.
I remember buying a 2080ti so I could play Star Citizen. Now I'll need a 50' series.
nah. i got a RX6700 nonXT (10GB) and i got 115fps inspace and 90fps in citys in 1440p.
Why KF? Personally I want an iGPU for booting just in case but would want a bios setting to disable it.
Thanks for the video man. I always enjoy watching them. I personally have a 5800x3d and a 3080. I will just hang on to this till the 8800x3d and the 5080 come out and see what kind of performance gains are available. If we are still CPU capped I might just update the CPU and keep the 3080 for another year.
Still a great system for the foreseeable future!
@@tenpoundfortytwo yes I agree
@Tenpoundfortytwo, is there a reason that you didn't do testing using the 13900k? Just curious as someone who uses one for SC. Thanks! Great work!
Just cost really, the 13700kf was significantly cheaper! I've heard that the extra clock speed and I think extra cache does make the 13900k faster. It's a great option for SC. For the next gen I might have to spend the extra money to test the top cpu's from Intel- you're not the only person to ask!
we will all have quantum computers by the time it officially releases. everyone should be able to run it and if their computer breaks they can hop in their hyper space craft and hop over to the nearest galaxy microcenter to fix it.
My thoughts exactly.. 😂😅🤣
Really well said.
Before watching the video, I'd wager: 7800X3D w/ DDR5-6000 and the 7900 XTX (due to AFMF working so well with Star Citizen) ?
Pretty much! I'd take either the 7900xtx or 4080 for 4k around 60fps!
@@tenpoundfortytwo Both good cards, but if I was only playing Star Citizen, right now, I would go AMD, as AFMF is a killer feature. Hopefully we will see DLSS 3 Frame Generation implemented in the near future, and FSR 3 as well, once AMD decides to release the SDK. I'm happy to see that you went over DLSS and FSR 2 coming in the future, and 1080p being a disservice. With those next-gen upscalers in the game, I think 1440p should be the minimum, as 1440p with DLSS Quality both looks better and runs better than 1080p native, and every new GPU released this generation will handle that with ease. And 1440p 144Hz monitors have become very affordable in the last few years, so no reason to go 1080p now (unless one already has a 1080p monitor).
Hello, good evening, with an i5 13600k and an RTX 4070 I would be fine at 60 fps at 2k?, in medium graphic settings
Hi! The graphics settings don't really do too much at the moment (apart from the clouds), and its impossible to hit 60FPS everywhere (even with the best components).
But the 13600K is quick and the 4070 should be plenty at 1080p or 1440p, so it would be a pretty good (for Star Citizen) experience!
@@tenpoundfortytwo aah great, thank you very much 😄
Im running a i7 11700 and a 3070TI WITH 32 GB of ram clocked at 3400 a little over clock applied but the game runs pretty well now some servers are a little iffy sometimes but i rarely drop below 40 FPS in built up places
i think your cpu is to weak. i got a RX6700 nonXT (10GB) and the cheapest 32GB Ram with my Ryzen 5800X3D and i got 115fps inspace and 90fps in citys in 1440p. Your Graphics Card must be faster then mine, so only your CPU could explain your low fps.
I think it's still a little early to build if you are really looking for something to get the best SC experience with. Ray tracing will likely change a lot, and that will likely require next gen hardware. That said, if you don't care about RT building a system now is probably a good point. Also, sounds from CitizenCon that they will try to offload CPU work to GPU, so workload might shift a bit.
As another piece of gear, I can recommend the StreamDeck XL. Great for those extra buttons for comms, landings, lights, etc :).
Videos from other RUclips channels (not sc related say that the 4090 is a RT beast, but I wouldn't shell out for it)
@@EliasWindrider I think next Gen will be a major change when RT becomes mature. Even 4090 struggles in some scenarios. Next Gen is released later than usual, and it's rumored to be a huge leap in performance and power efficiency.
But then again, I have thought that RT would be mature for both precious generations. But now, when we got full path traced games becoming more popular, I think it will grow.
@@SquarelyGames as long as a gpu that's good at Ray tracing costs more than $1K (heck more than $500) it's going to be out of reach for most gamers.
Don't wait for SC, just build if you enjoy doing it, you might wait forever
Very good a perfect guide for people, raytracing, one day, I turn it off I would rather have more fps, my fourth pc for this love hate relationship with sc, part of the journey, my last pc as I wont be be able to afford another and this one was almost a gift from a son.
Thankyou for this. ❤
No problem!
Is it better to use the higher core clock of the non 3dvcahe CCD on the 7950x3d or to use the CCD w/ 3dvcache?
I found that the vcache core out performed the non vcache ccd in my testing: ruclips.net/video/ZZ_lSAG9GXU/видео.htmlsi=xPTDg4ZAN2I5NldK
It would be cool if you would make a pcpartpicker pc as a model SC pc system. I will wait to get a new pc in a couple years probably because star citizen is the only thing I cannot run smoothly. I can run tarkov for example just fine. Star citizen will still has a long way to go to be enjoyable as a game but I look forward to when I get to upgrade my pc to enjoy it.
Thank you!
No problem!
i just recently upgraded to the 5800x3d (from a 3800x) the performance boost is nice maybe the better options would have been to just jump to the AM5 socket. I will say the 5800x3d does run the game at a playable fps and if you get a high refresh rate screen (around 165hz) the game feels like it runs at a higher fps
I think you did the right thing! The 5800x3d is still a great option, if you've already got the am4 motherboard etc, I think it makes the most sense.
In my oppinion the perfect 1440P GPU is a 1060 with 6GB ram...
Ok, maybe not.
I have been running the game on my old I5-8400 with 16GB of ram and a 1060 6GB GPU.
And it give me 30-35 FPS in bunker missions and a bit more shooting at things in open space... in 1080P with medium quality graphics.
But I decided it was time to get a new PC and found a few good (local) black week deals and ordered a new PC and a new 1440p monitor from another company.
The PC is on the way but the monitor arrived today. And I could not help myself so I plugged it in to my current PC, started the game, set the resolution to 1440p, HDR on... and it looks way way way better.
Its seriously hard to compare how much better the 1440P looks.
To my big surprise I was actually still getting 30-35 fps in bunkers and the same in space combat... (with some lag when things blow up... as Iam use to)
But since the cpu have always been running at 100%, maybe it is not really a surprise that I can't se a huge difference in fps.
Hello, I liked your video but I can't afford to upgrade to what you're recommending at the moment but would you be able to recommend a way for me to optimize my computer to get the best star citizen game play performance?
I have a MSI Codex RS 11TC-056U Desktop i5-11400F RTX3060 16GB 500GBSSD
Thank you so much.
Hi! If you were to upgrade to 32GB of ram that would probably be the best value upgrade- should help with some of the stuttering in game (not all though!). 3060 will be fine and the 11400 will do the job.
Thank you so much
One question i,m able to get the i9 14900k or the 7800x3d with mother same motherboard model just socket change for around $180 usd differences in price for the intel being more i have the ram already thats 64gb ddr 5. $180 usd more. im going to get a 4090 coming from a 2080ti and a i9 9900k. please let me know what you think and what chat thinks o7 bud see you in the verse.
I'd personally go for the 7800X3d- you will be able to drop in a 8800X3D and maybe even 9800X3D when they release in the future.
@@tenpoundfortytwoThank you, would u say the 7950x3d is worth 350 bucks more over the 7800x3d.
@@cisco150no but it all depends on what you do. Do you only game or do you game abd do productivity?
