Hi. When attempting Star Citizen, my GPU usage drops to almost nothing and I see barely any frames. This only occurs in the online universe section, while the hangar runs smoothly at 1080p60FPS with medium settings. I’m curious if this reflects a RAM bottleneck issue, and that’s what’s happening. I’ve tried various solutions—like prioritizing the game, adjusting NCP settings—and still face this problem as soon as I enter the universe. Is this related to my RAM? (i5 6500, 8GB DDR4, 2133MHz, HyperX Fury EVGA GTX 1060, 3GB)

Check if it's stored on an HDD or SSD. Both 8GB and 16GB versions performed similarly, so the storage type likely doesn't affect your experience.
