Hey everyone! For your friend who wants to play Star Citizen, here are some tips based on his setup: CPU is an AMD Phenom II X4 965, RAM is 8 GB DDR3 at 805 MHz. He’s using a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 graphics card and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti. To improve performance, consider upgrading the GPU to something more powerful like an RTX 3060 or better, adding more RAM if possible, and ensuring his system meets the game’s minimum requirements. Let me know if you need more details! Thanks!
It's likely to cost a lot, but consider upgrading to an i5 4460 CPU on a B85 motherboard. If budget is tight, opt for improved RAM instead. However, if finances aren't the main concern, a new GPU such as a GTX 960 would be a better choice.
What is your budget? The CPU seems to be in good shape, so if you're on a limited budget, the GPU might be a better choice.
The specifications look just right for running other titles with this engine at medium settings. Keep in mind, Star Citizen is still in the alpha phase and doesn’t have any performance tweaks yet. Right now we’re not playing a game but checking out alpha builds, which means you’ll need more powerful hardware than what’s listed.
Additionally, considering the current server-side limitations, any performance problems might stem from these issues, so it's important to keep this in mind.
The 650ti boost works well at medium levels. When you play the Crusader map, some performance issues appear because of server strain. If the problem continues in Arena Commander, adjust your default settings slightly using this tutorial: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.co...raphics/p1
It’s best to hold off on his excitement, wait for the release, and create a fresh, powerful system using that 2017/2018 gear. Use any funds set aside wisely, and remember, patience pays off.
They mentioned you'd need items from two future generations, but we're currently here and it looks perfect. Your idea is solid and it's going to make for an impressive experience even in 4K quality.
Your current setup is handling around 70 frames per second in Arena Commander and about 30 in the Universe, which is mainly due to server problems right now. If development keeps up with the 2016 SQ42 plan, next-gen hardware should run the game smoothly. Your specs are listed for reference.
