*MORE ways to IMPROVE your FPS in Star Citizen:*

Any support will be greatly appreciated!:

*General Advice for Improved FPS:*

*Update Your Drivers:* Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Manufacturers like NVIDIA and AMD frequently release new drivers that can significantly improve games' performance.
*Manage Background Applications:* Close unnecessary background applications that might be using up system resources, especially those that are CPU or GPU-intensive.
*Overclock Your Hardware:* If you have the know-how and the right cooling setup, you can try overclocking your CPU or GPU for better performance. However, this can increase the risk of hardware failure and should be done with caution.
*Upgrade Your Hardware:* If your hardware is not up to the task, you may need to upgrade components such as your graphics card, CPU, RAM, or even move to an SSD if you're still using a traditional hard drive.
*Adjust Power Settings:* Make sure your power plan in Windows is set to "High performance" to ensure that your hardware is running at its full potential.
*Check for Thermal Throttling:* Make sure your system is not overheating, as this can cause it to throttle performance to stay cool. Clean out dust from your PC, check that all fans are working properly, and consider improving your cooling system if necessary.
*Keep the Game Updated:* Star Citizen is still in active development, and new patches can bring performance improvements as well as new features. Make sure your game is up to date with the latest version.
*Optimize Windows Settings:* Adjust Windows settings for best performance:
Disable visual effects in the system properties.
Adjust Windows for the best performance in the performance options.
Ensure the game mode is on if you use Windows 10 or later.

Implementing these tips, and make your experience in Star Citizen less laggy. Hope that helps!

*PS.* I'm aware I mentioned MB RAM instead of GB RAM; guess it's a '90s gamer habit when GBs weren't a thing. Old habits, right? And apologies for the loud music!

*Tweak User.cfg File:* Advanced users can create a user.cfg file for Star Citizen to input specific commands that can potentially improve performance. However, be cautious and make sure to follow up-to-date guides as incorrect commands can cause instability.
*Keep the Game Updated:* Star Citizen is still in active development, and new patches can bring performance improvements as well as new features. Make sure your game is up to date with the latest version.

The info you give is good, but there are several other things that were missed. I will list them, I know you touched on a couple of these but I will include them anyway.
In the game options menu under graphics: Run borderless, Camera and motion Blur to OFF, VSync OFF, Clouds/graphics quality section set at your own discretion, but traditionally graphics quality at High runs the smoothest given the way SC loads textures. Set Chromatic Aberration to 0, and Film Grain to OFF (Film grain to off is huge). Sharpening has had little to no effect for me on FPS, so I run it at 100. If you run a NVidia graphics card of later versions that have this option, don't forget to set the shader cache to 10GB...no more, no less, in get graphics settings on your desktop. o7

when you get low fps near ground on moons and planets:
"Scattered Object Distance" and "Terrain Tessellation Distance" to medium or low
when you have low fps near clouds:
"Planet Volumetric Clouds" to medium or off
These are the settings with the biggest impact.

Think there is an error in the video - it says you need 32MB (megabyte instead of gigabyte) RAM. Right now the game is mostly CPU bottlenecked, so when they release DLSS in near future, people might not see much improvement yet - but they eventually will. I love DLSS.

[Misterkettukettu]

alpha means putting the stuff in, not fixing bugs, beta is for fixinf bugs, adding small things. Full release is all of the prevorious things done

64GB RAM definitely isn't necessary, but there is a benefit to it. Namely you can leave other programs running without impacting performance. On my system, closing down as much as possible, when Star Citizen is running, my system will use about 28GB of RAM if I remember correctly. The problem with that is I generally like to leave my browser open, which uses anywhere from 10-15GB, so Star Citizen starts digging into swap and runs a little worse. If I just bumped up to 64GB, I wouldn't need to decide between better performance and leaving background programs open.

When talking about the console menu … you should enable gpu snyc this will boost your fps by about 10 .. I have mine set to zero, however just try it with your fps displayed .. and see which works for you, choices are zero or one

[YoguiW]

Thanks, I will use this to improve my FPS while I'm playing Star Citizen.

5700x, 32gb, great. Optimize your PCs people!

[trickym]

In the Nvidia global settings increase memory catch to 10gb!

[JayBloodborne]

I have a RTX 3070 i5 with 16gb ram and it works great just needed this to increase my frames on hurston

[sithmaster]

Little tip from a random Twitch person: Lower your background music. It's difficult to make out your voice. Good video though, keep up the good vibes! Sub and thumb up, Godspeed.

Ryzen 5 1500x GTX 2060 and 16GB of ram running off a Samsung mv.n2 ssd. I didn't finish the tutorial yet because when I went on the space train it asked me to get off but my screen was frozen and the doors closed before I could walk off LOL

To the 'upgrade your PC' comment, I will add just few things:
You definetly should meet at least some standards.
Going above and beyond is purely optional, but gaming on a calculator won't serve you very well.
Standards should be:
'Fast' SSD at least 250GB imo,
'fast' 32GB RAM,
high frequency CPU (as of now, fewer faster cores are better, than many slower - but that is slowly changing and multicore CPUs will have greater benefit),
also CPU SHOULD BE BETTER THAN GPU, they don't need to be on par.
StarCitizen is VERY demanding on CPU, not that much on GPU.
Again, having better GPU will make greater difference later, after certain tech is fully implemented.

I'm running just Ryzen5 3600 and GTX 1080 ROG, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and my frames allow absolutely enjoyable gameplay at 2K resolution.
( I also get 30fps in Hurston's Loreville).

[machoalright]

Well going from DDR4 to DDR5 helps.. but that aint no cheap solution either :)

[----.__]

12900k, 3090/24GB, 64GB RAM, NVME, gigabit ISP.

Game runs like a dream.

[Devlchiken]

is a 460 a good enough gpu and a i5 a good enough cpu?

[acay]

Im gonna repeat what he said, do NOT listen to the "upgrade your specs" BS. I have a 4090 and a Core i9, both watercooled. The Rest of my specs are also more than enough to run any game you could possibly think of. Star Citizen still runs like dogsh*t. Better specs wont save you on this one, only certain changes in the graphics settings and generally messing around with the help of a couple guides.

[whendarknessfalls]

1 server meshing isn't here, so it's not a factor.

2 graphics between low and high have zero effect accept switching the demand from the gpu(low) to the cpu(high).

We have mostly the same parts i9 11500k and 32gbs corsair ram. But I have a 2080ti and get the same fps as you.
