Make a New Video with same CPU 4 Core vs 6 Core vs 8 Core vs 10 Core vs 12 Core vs 16 Core pls.

I run an a770 and used to get much better performance with vulkan (which was to be expected) - but a recent update just broke it where the game crashes when loading if vulkan is switched on. The drivers didnt change, a cig update just broke it.

SC is the only game I have that overheats my 7800X3D into the 80s temp and has even forced a shutdown. do i need a watercooler now? 7900Xt GPU Everything is perfect except for the CPU temps on SC

My Nvidia 3080 TI crashes all of the time if I use Vulkan as well. I don't think it's an Intel thing. My friend has an AMD 7600 XT and he crashes on Vulkan all the time as well.

with ryzen 5 3600 rtx 2060 super, 16 gb ram and dlss activated is playable?

I hope amd and intel are going to push into the high end market sooner rather than later. Nvidia is completely out of control with their rumored pricing and tdp for the upcoming 50 series...

Recently went from a 3070ti to a 4070 ti super. Doubled my VRAM and it's a beast

Stop throwing money at CIG. Don't buy new pc components to get from 33 trash lagging fps to 42 also trash lagging fps... It isn't worth it. Stop pledge ships. Buy presents for your family instead. Chris isn't worth any trust...

I wouldn't call any particular card "good" for Star Citizen. It's a moving goalpost of unoptimized proportions. As for impact of VRam? Look at the 4060 versus the B580. Near identical frame rates (51.1 vs 50.9 average and 20.0 v 19.4 lowest). Getting more vram doesn't help a bit. Even worse, look at the 4080 vs the 4060. The 4080 has over double the oomph, the raw power. In Star Citizen it can only get out 33% more performance. The whole game is limited by its own bad coding. Having said all that, the B580 has more "future potential", which is always a gamble. It's probably a nice card.

The question is Star Citizen now or Star Citizen a year or two from now? In the near future where we have raytracing, I still think Nvidia is the only option. Buying hardware as a holdover for a future upgrade is typically a waste of money. The only exception I’ve ever seen was the bitcoin craze where you could actually profit from your old GPU purchase.

6 cores benchmark pls. 9600x, 7600x3d.

The 3060 is also 192bit vs 4060 128bit memory bandwidth. The 1080's were all 256bit

Will a rx 6700xt & ryzen 7700x run sc?

How does resizable bar effect the 3000 series on star citizen ? I've just enabled it on a 3080 12gb , not sure I need to do anything else, do I need to use nvidia inspector or should the latest driver auto use it if it beneficial

I am sure it is good for SC, especially since performance is completely CPU bound, min to max settings including screenshot mode for clouds all the way down to the lowest resolution makes about 5-10 fps difference so frankly get whatever car you want

Good to see that Intel gpus dont have issues on sc

I have a 5700g with an RX6800 i do the framegen on the iGPU to offload from dGPU -20%. Haven't locked the frame rate but use g-sync mode in LS. Works amazing have all settings maxed at 1080p (monitor limitation) and game sits solid at 75hz. Best part about it when gpu in one part and cpu in another struggles LS props it up. P.s video out is better from iGPU when doing this have less frame latency and lower spikes. Would love to know from someone out there with a 8700g running a dGPU out there would go.

Why no 7900 XTX? There's a 4090 up there.

Great video! Hopefully Intel or CIG can figure out whatever issue is causing the stutters. This card is a killer value in the current market and gives a lot of hope for future B700 class cards!

how does the 9950X do? Same thing, turn off one of the chipsets?

Anything has to be better than my GTX 1080 🙈

Can you add the amount of VRAM for each card on your next graphs please And thanks for the quick coverage of this card, let's watch Intel enjoying themselves for one month before AMD and Nvidia move onto the next generation lel

The B580 looks like a really solid choice in general but maybe not for SC in particular right now. Worse case it holds it's own against the 4060 whilst showing significant advantages in certain situations. Nvidia are putting just 8gb on the 5060 too. That card is going to be DOA. It's already pretty embarrassing that the 3060 provides a smoother gaming experience than the 4060, but if that turns out to also be the case with the 5060 that's going to look really bad. I run SC at 1440p on a 3060 and with quality upscaling I get a 55-65fps experience. I can totally live with it.

Doing God's work here my man

Drove 6 hours to get my 9800x3d, can't wait to get the rest of my build so I can actually play this game with decent fps lmao

Could you add whether or not dlss and frame gen are on to your graphs? Could you also add at what level dlss is set to if it's being used? If they aren't being used, could you just maybe put something indicating that it is fully rasterized?

does he not have either a 7900xt or xtx? seems weird to have a 4080 in the mix just to punch down on the mid range cards.

I am a avid SC player rocking a 2080. I decided I will not upgrade computer again until, my GPU brakes or the game releases version 1.0

why not test the 6950xt?

i have a 6950xt, 5800x3d, 32gb ram and im constantly getting a GPU error. Have you seen this before? GPU crash: Yes - GPU crash message: GPU CRASH (async): Consider updating any overlay/recording software or try disabling with r_vulkanDisableLayers = 1 in your user.cfg.

I wonder how these compare against a 3060 ti, I’m not very knowledgeable on pc parts

I think the B580 is going to outpace the 4600 because of the vram alone. I do suspect there are still driver issues with Intel at the moment, but for the price point an upgrade from a NVIDIA 10 series card it absolutely worth it. All this said intel has been working very hard at getting driver right with Arc. I think it just a matter of time. My biggest hope is that this puts some pressure on low to mid range cards for NVIDIA. It's about time for their BS to come to an end with their pricing schemes.

we need the card to succeed though, and be adopted to create competition for nvidia and amd, them throttling and controlling the market is bad for our wallets. the drivers will improve over time like with amd and i would love to see this card in every budget minded build over the next year.

i was playing with a buddy and from what they were saying it seemed like 12GB+ just handles the texture and shader load better. sounds like can somewhat power through with the higher clocks of higher end cards, but also looks like there is still a performance gap between higher end cards with more than 8GB vRAM... Intel hardware is probably ok for the most part, but drivers aren't there yet. maybe next generation. safer bet for 2 more... 13th and 14th Gen intel CPUs have been pretty iffy, so intel might just have to take it from AMD in both ends for next bit. Nvidia just happy for the break to lube up for Computex lol

what about the 9950X or Intel 13900/14900KS? are they better ?

Just found you mate, love that you are checking out hardware compatibility with SC 👍 interesting stuff, look forward to future vids 😁

Been googling for an SC bench on this card since it came out thanks so much for doing it! Shame about Vulkan it apparently its alot faster running Vulkan in other games aswell. So very much looking forward to the 4.0 bench to see if it changes!

Is not Vulkan still only single threaded in Star Citizen...thus the lower frames vs DirectX?

Vulkan on AMD cards on Linux has been largely unusable since 3.24.3 PTU, causing crashes on most configurations. Discussions in the SC LUG seem to suggest this is a CIG-created issue and the current community AMD Vulkan driver on Linux, which apparently follows the Vulkan API very faithfully, is not tolerating whatever problems there are in CIG's implementation of Vulkan. Sadly it's been a while since anything Vulkan has been in the patch notes.

Have you heard all this hubbub about the Nvidia app slowing FPS of games by <15%

Thanks again for putting your own money on the line to help CIG and us backers to find what works and what don't. I hope CIG know about all your hard work

BTW, Intel are aware of the Vulkan issues as of Alchemist - I raised the support case.

Me watching and playing SC with my RX 570 4GB, everything is fine 😊😯😊😱🤗

I've got an A750 and it's okay, but I'll wait for the B770 for the upgrade. I agree entirely about shader compilation impact.

I like that for two years they were like Vulkan and gen 12 render is going to be amazing but it under performs dx11 by 10 to 20 fps consistently.

I bought a 5600xt in 2020 but today it just doesnt cut it and due to current prices im seriously looking at intel. *stars align*

I really appreciate your work as it is unique to star citizen community ❤

The "real" minimum is 6Gb, but in general the 10Gb that my 3080 has is not enough and if I artificially limit the reported memory you get some weird things happening with textures if you go below 6144Mb!

for 400 $ stil not a bad card
