[@DowntoEarthAstronomy]

Good guide. There was a new setting in there that I haven't set so ill have to test if that improves it for me. The only thing I was missing in this video was a before and after FPS comparison

[@JustDave_GG]

Cheers D2, yeah the problem there is OBS doesn’t like the Nvidia settings, picture jumps all over so can’t capture. It works though, my previous video has loads of comments confirming up to double the FPS.

[@MagicCookieGaming]

@@JustDave_GG If it's something you would like to do, I think just showing a graph of some overall specs before vs after applying the settings - in this case just average FPS after doing the same flight or mission or something like that. Amazing video, too, definitely keeping saved and sharing :D

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

He doesn't wanna do a before and after bc he's wrong lol

[@MelonFelon57]

Went from 12-20 FPS on my potato to 37-50. Guess thats more than doubling, thanks for the guide.

[@JustDave_GG]

NICE dude! That is a massive jump!

[@JustDave_GG]

@mushdock7221 honestly I am not sure. Your GPU could get that with these settings at 1080p possibly, but your CPU is going to take a battering. 16GB of RAM is not ideal, but doable. I think you will struggle in cities, but in space you could be ok.

Thanks for your guide. FPS definitely increased, at least in some areas. used to have between 30 and 59, lowest so far was 39, and even had it reach 80 in some areas.

[@JustDave_GG]

Nice one! Glad it helped 😊

[@THarSul]

Biggest thing that changed my game performance was the nvidia settings, thanks for the heads up about that, hadn’t heard about those settings anywhere else, gave me a 5-7 fps boost across the board.

[@kury8428]

What are your specs?

Remember: The game was played on a NASA Computer. It didnt work too well there either. Its not your Specs mate. Its the Game. Its optimized worse than ARK.

I have same problem. My pc have super good speca and i have runned super high qua games way more then star citizen and i had not a single issue.

[@josephquayle5764]

from your settings, It did help with fps. I usually got 28-47 fps. Now I'm getting 40-70 fps. So it is running smoother than before. I played around with the settings in the game, and in the NIDVIA settings many times. I changed a couple of the NVIDIA settings that you showed in your video that I never touched before so it did help. I Thank You and Great Video.

Thanks for the great video. This will help squeeze every bit out of Star Citizen. Also, love the Scottish accent.

[@JustDave_GG]

You’re welcome mate!

[@nukeboxgames]

Just for the record; putting the settings to low instead of high will offload work from your GPU to your CPU, which you do not want since SC is a very CPU intensive game. Dont put the setting on low.

[@Avean]

It depends, if people are running 4K the game uses mostly GPU where this could be a good idea to offload some of the GPU load.

[@MrMcbear]

Bigger problem is the optimization. My game is only utilizing 70% cpu (ryzen 7 5800x) and 65% gpu (RTX 3070Ti) 35-40fps

[@zacharypump5910]

I heard “very high” was always the best FPS counter intuitively

[@Nine-Signs]

@@MrMcbear Hey friend, and snap, your PC is near identical to mine, I've an EVGA 3070FTW3, 32gig pc3600, 5800x, running on 2 x sabrent pci-e 4 m.2 drives. I get exactly the same kind of frames as you, seeing around 30 in the new Hurston/Lorville. I saw someone write the other day that "hardware needed to catch up to SC" ... I couldnt help but laugh.

[@Vanadium]

@@MrMcbear on what Resolution are you running this ? And where (area) do you count this kind of workload and FPS?

[@EmilAlexandru]

Render resolution is important. The details settings those with low medium high will apply to the selected resolution. That's it if you have a monitor with that resolution. 4k takes more resources at high details than it does 1080p at high details.

[@TenShadez]

Thanks for the info!

[@explodogames2774]

Make sure foip is off , even if you aren't using it , if it is enabled it uses recources

[@o7StarCitizen]

how ? from where exactly?

[@CecilMerrell]

Leaving graphics setting to high is important. the textures are being streamed from the ssd at 4k resolution. if you change these settings then the cpu will have to work harder to scale them before they get rendered by the gpu.

[@scifrygaming]

'Fast' v-sync caused horrendous tearing and stuttering on my system. I had to turn it off.

[@JustDave_GG]

Really? It is weird how some systems react. The original video has more increased FPS comments than not, but it doesn’t work for everyone though. Thanks for the comment though Sci Fry!

[@Porthias]

Working great! Thank you!

[@JustDave_GG]

Glad it helped 😊

[@nip3004]

Quality and graphic settings are important. Especially if you have a weaker cpu. And unlike most games lower settings will often give you worse performance as they don't utilize the GPU and offload more of the work to your CPU. I don't recommend going lower than high.

[@dazza5137]

I'm running 7680x1440p and this uses quite a bit of GPU, but my CPU is only hitting maybe 20%. I'd actually prefer to offload some tasks to my CPU. Would this work in my case?

[@yong62]

+ for mentioning the server. I think server's impact to fps is 20% possibly more. Cloud setting up to 10%. Nothing else seems to matter that much. One last check is to make sure Resizable BAR (Base Address Register) or AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) is enabled.

[@AnthonyFammartino]

This actually doubled my FPS cheers!

[@CowwieNZ]

Since its a global setting I would also suggest for safety sake to set 'max frame rate' to 80 or what ever you prefer, these settings make SC run great on my machine but in 'New World' it breaks the games in game frame cap limit(yikes given that games history at launch having unlocked fps and the effect it had on some flawed nvidia gfx cards) also imo its better to have roughly consistent fps than having it jump up and down all over the place.

[@wilconf]

[@JustDave_GG]

Hey dude. Yeah I have heard about brave. Try the setting in the program area and shader cache in the global area. That may help, or at least will prove or eliminate shader from the equation. You’re most welcome, by the way, thanks for the comment 🫡

Dude oh my god! Im at everus harbor and i don't go below 45 fps no more! In a server with 6 avg fps! Wtf i strongly stay around 50-60!!!!! 😂 you madman thank you!!!!! ❤

[@tobytoxd]

8:05 Hey, you must be joking? These settings affect most games. Many options like AF and AA are overwritten by the game, but others are not. This is common sense. I use the panel since it was first introduced decades ago. E.g. settings like AF x8 or x16 don't affect the FPS much on modern GPUs, but AA and resolution do. On my system in Star Citizen it's a huge difference switching from 1080p to 1440p or up to 4K. But online the FPS are highly affected by the server performance. The resolution of the clouds do affect my visuals. I can't look at them with pleasure in 1080p at less than the very high setting. The shader cache on 10GB is a great setting though.

[@amegaplay3044]

Server can certainly affect your FPS. And that's either a consequence of a general sense and how particular game is done in general. In general sense that is because server always sends you info about your surroundings at least, and the client has to process it. And not necessarily even render. And those surroundings may differ significantly from time to time. As an abstract example, imagine you are near a bunker and nobody and nothing is nearby, or when there are tons of debris already, which server informs you about. Who knows what else server is constantly informing the client about. And here comes the other side of the coin: how well this process is optimized or not. As an another example: imagine you are on a station and there are hundreeds of empty bottles lying on ground. On one hand, they are lying mostly still, and server could tell you about them only once, until something changes. But on the other hand, the server (or developers) may be lazy to "filter" this info and always send it to you, as if this surrounding is always changing, forcing the client to "update" all those entities even though nothing changes in fact. P.S. These were just abstract thoughts. I'm completely unaware how SC is done in particular. But I'm pretty confident the latter part (optimization) aplies to it.

Having just come from an extremely deep dive into nvidia and graphics settings and how it all works this video was a tough watch. I was hoping to learn something new about SC but instead I can perhaps impart some info: Shader cache size is better higher. 100gb. The difference you're getting at 10gb is either identical performance or worse but with cognitive biases in. The same true for your page file custom size. Its only even used when your ram runs out. And performance mode does NOT enable the gpu to run better. It simply doesn't let it back off. So you can expect a tiny bit faster response going from low draw to high draw areas, but it's not an overall limiting factor. It is best to have it on, but it's cost benefit is not a great trade.

Okay it‘s me again but this time I need your help. On wreckside outposts like „The Pit“ my fps drop down to like around 4. When I travel away from this areas my fps get back to normal. I tried to stay there for a amount of time because maybe they just had to load into the cache and I also messed around with my graphic settings, nothing helped. If someone could check it that it‘s only a client side problem for me. or if its a problem some others also have. Thanks a lot.

So in the Nvidia control panel I see the shader cache on/ off only no shader cache size at all I have a 3080Ti

[@JustDave_GG]

Update your drivers mate, if you are not seeing that setting then they are very out of date.

Pointing this out as PSA for others because you don't understand the features you're advising others to use. If you did you wouldn't suggest them in the first place. V-Sync "Fast": This is for when your game runs ABOVE the monitor refresh rate, so only use this if your monitor is for example, 60Hz and your game always exceeds 60 fps. This has no bearing on your game stability, in fact it might make it worse. This is because Fast V-Sync allows the GPU to produce as many frames as it can but it will only send frames from the frame buffer to the monitor in intervals fitting 60Hz, assuming 60Hz is your monitor max. So your GPU will use 100% of itself when it's not necessary. For FPS below the monitor refresh rate when using Fast? That won't be taken into account, so you will get tearing. Again, Fast V-Sync is only for when your games always exceeds your monitor refresh rate. Triple Buffering; This loads up 3 frames in the frame buffer to always send off a clean, tear-free image to the monitor. This means 3x frame latency. At 60Hz that's 16.66ms x 3 = 50 ms latency, which is unnecessary as there are better options. When you're using Fast V-Sync, this also just adds extra latency as Fast is meant to be used only when the game exceeds your max refresh rate. Part of the benefit of using Fast V-Sync is to get the "earliest frames" your GPU keeps making, to gain better latency when your monitor is holding you back. Typical scenario; 60Hz monitor but your GPU can do 200+ fps in a game. So your GPU is working at 100% producing as many frames as it can and storing 3 of those in the frame buffer. Adding extra unnecessary latency from working so hard, and more extra latency with the 3x frame buffer. What you actually want to do: For G-Sync monitors, you want V-Sync ON in the NVCP, OFF in-game, in all games. Cap your framerate 3-5 fps below your monitor's max refresh. Turn off Triple Buffering. Why? G-Sync needs V-Sync to eliminate tearing entirely. G-Sync (and Freesync) syncs game fps to monitor Hz. They work in tandem. You cap the FPS within the monitor refresh rate because G-Sync is Variable Refresh Rate tech, so it only works "within the refresh rate". What does that mean? It means game do 74 fps? Monitor do 74 Hz. No tearing. If you don't cap; game do 170 fps but monitor only maxes out at 144 Hz? G-Sync disengages, traditional V-Sync latency penalty kicks in; no tearing but more sluggish experience. You can notice features like Nvidia Reflex which is built to work together with G-Sync, that it always auto-caps fps 5-6 fps under max refresh. So 144Hz is capped to 138 fps playing something like Apex Legends. No G-Sync? You can turn V-Sync OFF entirely, then use something like RTSS or the NVCP to cap your fps to a comfortable frame rate that your GPU is sure to handle against your monitor refresh rate. If it can't, you'll get tearing, so V-Sync can help smooth things over at the expense of added latency. All in all, get a G-Sync/Freesync monitor if you can. These suggestions to use Fast+Triple Buffering is literally just telling people to add more latency than normal V-Sync provides. This is also why you always want to turn V-Sync OFF in-game and ON in the NVCP (or radeon software) when using G-Sync/Freesync, or just normal V-Sync, because games will add hidden optimizations like Triple Buffering with you knowing, giving you more unnecessary latency penalties. Educate yourself first if you're writing a guide at least google the features you're talking about so you know what they do and you don't spread misinformation.

Or maybe I could go from the fact it works for Star Citizen and hads been verified by hundreds of people that commented on the original video. So instead of posting without trying it, maybe try first then attack me, just a thought!

[@starflame]

@@JustDave_GG Honestly you're just doing what others are doing, assuming your settings are doing work when really it's not. As for the ram suggestion, the in-game settings those are fine, but your NVCP info is wrong and you should retcon that. Someone who's using a G-Sync monitor and dishing out advice should at least know what their advice actually does, don't you think? People will take this for granted after all, as if you're giving them keys to the kingdom because they trust you. Anyone can say with confidence some settings for others to use, and lots do. Few research and make sure what they're saying is correct. Fix that and you won't have replies like mine. Good luck on your next settings video!

@@starflame Star Citizen Instant FPS boost | Guide to Increase your performance in Star Citizen 3.15 / 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqPPnYaqq7-Ziqc I would suggest looking through comments on here then if you think these settings don’t work. A few hundred people disagree with you. Sure, doesn’t work for everyone, but plenty of people getting up to double FPS.

[@chrisblack4836]

@@starflame Works for me tbh. went for 40/50Fps to roughly 70-80fps at ARC L1. No tearing with Fast Sync either so I'm not sure what to tell you.

his so blindfolded... sigh... this video could literally fvk things up cuz some of the very basic stuff he said is misleading, and could screw people over.

Anychance of an updated version dude thanks for the video!

I haven’t been playing mate. I might do another when I come back though. Thanks for the comment

[@LordCritish]

I don't see how setting Triple Buffering to On can help the performance though, as it seems to be only applying to OpenGL applications. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ruorick]

After I turned this off I gained +-20fps in the station I was in.

[@JustDave_GG]

Honestly, I don’t know why this works for some and not for others. Even people with the same GfX cards can have differing results.

[@brianlevine249]

I tracked my RAM usage and you absolutely spike above 16gb of RAM. I was getting 18+gb or RAM usage.

[@MadBeausuff]

I have an AMD setup. Any suggestions?

[@TairnKA]

Where do I find the status info at the upper left of your screen?

[@JustDave_GG]

If you are talking about the FPS and GPU usage etc. it is Riva Statistics Tuner. It comes with MSI Afterburner.

[@CaspCic]

Most of these if not all were the actual suggestion since 3.0. I did run this game for 10years on a i7 2600k + GTX970 and 24GB DDR3 this way. Except clouds of course, which are new and which BTW you shouldn't really turn off, since there is a gas giant completely made of them. You might miss a whole planet. 😅
