I haven't tested my new PC on Star Citizen yet and holy crap, what a difference. The old Ryzen 3700X and RX 5700-XT PC would struggle to crack 90 FPS even out in empty space with nothing going on and the game downscaled to 2560x1080p resolution and in combat I would maybe see 40-45 FPS in most cases with about 60-65 FPS during quantum travel. I think the results from this video speak for themselves. But the most important thing to note is that: FINALLY, Star Citizen can run well as long as you have modern, powerful PC hardware. Just a few years ago, this game couldn't run smoothly for ANYONE, even those with the most powerful PCs available.

Another Example...
On the Ryzen 3700X and RX 5700-XT PC, I struggled to run around in Orison with anything more than 20 FPS even with volumetric clouds completely turned off and the game downscaled in resolution to 2560x1080p. Now, I am at full native 3440x1440p and in Orison I get about 65-75 FPS with the settings seen in this video, but if I turn clouds to very high, the performance will drop to about 35 FPS, so be careful with how high you set that setting.

  • @michaelyang5502

  • @ginomenicucci6888
    How about Ryzen 9 5900HX RTX 3070laptopGPU 32 GB ram and ssd 2tb? Those are my specs i dunno why the game runs awfully and i have good thermal as well
  • @lucasetche
    Would it run Similar on a ryzen 5800x3d and a 7900xtx
  • @telesiak2484
    why tf is your gpu at 150Watts and only 1500mhz clock speed. This is the optimization of this game?
  • @AurynGaming
    Kinda useless as you just stay out in space and never visit anything of value. You start the video already in space and you dont go to an outpost or a city, hell even a space port. Even potato specs can get decent FPS in space tbh.
