[@Super-id7bq]

Motion blur isn't a bad thing. Motion blur in video games is. Problem is video games don't have true vector based Motion blur, it just blurs in a straight line between frame 1 and frame 2, meaning unlike your eyes (which actually perceived a shit load of. motion blur), an actual camera or even an offline renderer (for VFX) it cannot handle curves or rotation in any way - period. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@ultrasquall22]

Yeah it's unfortunate that it's gotten a bad rap now. My friends who don't know shit about graphics settings just always turn off motion blur and chromatic aberration cause they constantly hear it's bad. Chromatic aberration doesn't work in all games, but it really works well in sci-fi games, and per object motion blur looks great vs just screen space motion blur. Another variable is motion blur to make low FPS feel less so, which is often overlooked.

[@shitsnwiggles]

Motion blur is really only helpful if you average >40fps to help with stutter and dropped frames

Great job, those settings worked for me with a 6700XT

[@Grimonyoutube]

Great video, glad you mentioned about the graphic settings on high , turning it down moves more load to the cpu. Clouds are a massive hit on CPU , same with water simulation and usually free up the most FPS. Framegraph dispaly coming up will be a great tool to see your limiting factors. Generally you will be limited by main thread but it will help you determine that. One thing is the shader cache, clearing this can fix a ton of problem related to blur and ui bugs, also when you first load in give some time for the shaders to load, this helps massively. Not sure about brightness settings and contrast, I have mine on 49 and 52, I think it really depends on your monitor.

[@LostInDistance]

Short and to the point. Love it!

[@sjoer]

Tesselation only applies to things near the camera and not far away like in your example! Tesselation happens on things like rocks, trees and terrain to make it appear more rounded!

[@UniversityofStanton]

@@sjoer wow what an intuitive way to name it then 😂. Thanks! I didn't see any difference when I compared the visuals at the FPS level but I'll check it again!

[@heru_ur6017]

Tesselation is used to give a 3d appearance to a 2 d texture. Example :ground texture has pepples in it, using tesselation the pebbles can appear to be 3d. Anti Aliasing is used to smooth corners making them appear more rounded.

[@sjoer]

@@heru_ur6017 you are completely wrong. Making a 2D object appear as 3D is called normal mapping or bump mapping. Anti-aliasing doesn't make objects appear rounded, it "blurs" jagged edges to make them appear... smooth. Tesselation ADDS vertices to a 3D mesh, making a ball appear round instead of facetted. Please go do some research on the topic instead of putting in down complete nonsense.

[@DrakyHRT]

@@sjoer Stop talking trash, in several games Tesselation does make a 2d texture get 3D details.

[@sjoer]

@DrakyHRT it does not, that is called a height map in combination with bump/normal mapping for light. "In computer graphics, tessellation is the dividing of datasets of polygons (sometimes called vertex sets) presenting objects in a scene into suitable structures for rendering. Especially for real-time rendering, data is tessellated into triangles, for example in OpenGL 4.0 and Direct3D 11." So you can tesselate for example a hexagon into a circle, in 2D...

[@scjnonayalu6846]

visibility edit: a quick 'fix' for a plummeting frame rate that i utilize is simply changing your in-game reso down and then back up. this 'fixes' bad choppiness for me in New Babbage for example, until I play for a bit and it returns (lol). 3440x1440p native curved widescreen here and my poor 3070 chugs hard at native reso after a bit, but i'm on a budget gaming laptop at the moment.

After years of playing I’ve learned you only need a few things to make SC better performance wise. Ryzen 8 core or more CPU , 64 go ram & high settings in the game menus. I still have a 5-10gb cache for my GPU. But with SC growing more & more every year , it’s taking up more resources. And since most players are also using 3rd party apps like Game Glass or others , you need more than 32 gb of ram. Just my 2 cents. Great video, o7

Hmm i have an issue with the turn V-sync off comment. I sadly suffer from screen tearing quite a bit in games. I upgraded to a 144hz monitor at 1440p recently but still get tearing every now and then, so unless there is another way, im all ears

[@UniversityofStanton]

You're not the first person I've heard that from, but I haven't had an issue with that in a long time, but I've also been using G-sync, so the game having to be locked to the monitor refresh isn't really a thing. Have you checked to make sure you have G-Sync/FreeSync set up properly? You should be able to run that but disable the game's vsync option.

[@Nerwosol]

you probably won't get that many fps in star citizen anyway, maybe lower the screen refresh to 100hz and limit the number of frames to 95-97, check in your monitor from what hz freesync/gsync works, it may be that it works from 60hz and if you have less fps it will stutter, it will also stutter if the fps are the same or higher than the maximum refresh of the monitor (this is why the fps limit is set), make sure you have freesync/gsync enabled in the monitor options and gpu drivers

[@BC_Joshie]

Enable Rebar, disable SMT And optimize your windows will make the game smoothe with higher frames.

[@starfleetLEGEND]

[@bennys7166]

Hi, so I actually started to play the game yesterday and right as I got into the tutorial after 15 mins I quit… I have a overclocked rtx 4090 a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and 64gb of ram running at 6000mhz and i was running the game at max setting in 4K and the game was dropping to 40 fps and I was like wtf is this, then I took a look at the temperature fps and so on and I saw that my gpu is only utilised 30 - 40% while my cpu is at 80% which is wired af tried to put the game in high priority couldn’t do that and idk what to do

[@UniversityofStanton]

One thing that's important is the context - I'm assuming if you only played 15 minutes that you haven't left your starting city. Unfortunately the performance you're describing is pretty normal there and not indicative of the rest of the game, and the cities are NOT where you want to be. Your first move should be getting off the ground and setting your spawn to one of the space stations. Then play the game out in the rest of the Stanton system for a while and see what you're getting.

[@PolarisCaptain]

turning global camera shake to 0 also helps :)

[@AceSuperiority]

I have a 3070 i710700 and 16 gbs of ram. The game ran fine in the last few builds. I played today in 3.24.3 for the first time and it’s unplayable. Took ages just to load in and I couldn’t toggle anything on or off in my ship…. I know 16 GBS ram isn’t optimal but it doesn’t explain why I wasn’t able to experience the game today normally the way I have been for over a year with the same setup. Mabye settings tweak? Mabye the game was running rough today?

[@UniversityofStanton]

Yeah unfortunately so much of overall performance is governed by the state of the server and the load it's under - it's very hard to predict and get reliable results.

[@AceSuperiority]

@ I will try your settings and update :)

[@CitizenWeez]

I had this exact experience.. same build.. played 4 months ago then got on today did all the optimizations and settings and the game looks awful and less then half the frames i was getting on 3.23

@@CitizenWeez wow unreal. I hope the game will improve because it’s not our systems….. my pc runs plenty of other demanding titles with no problems. Not sure how suddenly the game implodes like this. What frustrates me is my friends were in the server and said they were able to play normally despite still running into server lag and de sync. Not sure how I was encountering all these catastrophic bugs

[@UniversityofStanton]

Just to doublecheck with you both, you AR#E checking your frames after you've gotten out of the main city and are out playing the rest of the game, right? Trying to do some kind of frame test in the cities is incredibly inconsistent because any number of things happening can tank frames there. They've always been a mess in general.

I have two SSDs: 1 nvme where I have my OS and another for data, a "normal" SSD, does it change anything in terms of performance if I install SC on the same disk as my OS?

[@UniversityofStanton]

Good question. This depends on the overall performance of each drive. I would recommend using a tool like CrystalDiskMark to test the functional speed of each drive. If they're around the same, I would keep the OS and pagefile on one and the game on the other. If the NVME drive is significantly faster than the normal SSD though, it's probably worth having everything on the NVME.

[@FreeFragUK]

Appreciate this video, will give it a watch while setting everything up. To be honest the biggest frustration at the moment was coming back sheet not playing since 3.20/3.21 only to find I need to rebuild all my bindings and controller set up yet again.

[@UniversityofStanton]

I try to get new players used to that in a hurry - it's worth knowing your controls intimately and being comfortable setting them up from scratch just in case you need to wipe out a corrupted used folder!

[@FreeFragUK]

@@UniversityofStanton - It was less of an issue when I kept up with the game's development but unfortunately I've been on an extended break which is one contributing factor in forgetting my controls. I thought it was around 3.20 where I took a break but upon reviewing patch notes it's been much, much longer. Personally I find it to be an issue that's further compounded by the horrendously outdated binding system.

[@PrimroseParadox]

You said to never use Medium or Low setting for QUALITY, but don't explain why setting it to med or low is bad. Can you elaborate on that?

[@UniversityofStanton]

I admittedly don't know every aspect of it, but those settings have less to do with actual graphic quality than how the workload is distributed. Low and Medium shift more of the workload from the GPU to the CPU, which is already usually pegged out performing the rest of the game's tasks (what they call the main thread). If the CPU is already bottlenecked (which in a lot of cases it is) this makes the problem even worse. Hope that helps!

[@vrutu19]

How come you didn't mention lossless scaling?

[@UniversityofStanton]

That relies on external tools. This video was strictly to cover the easy in-game options that work for most players. Later on I'm planning on one that includes out-of-game optimization.

[@j.d.4697]

[@UniversityofStanton]

It may (if you've adjusted all the settings as recommended here) depend on where you are and what you're doing. It's almost a guarantee you won't get good performance if you're just going off of the planetary cities you start in. So if that's it, definitely travel somewhere else. Failing that, it may be worth looking deeper at your installation and seeing if any other factors are dragging it down. Join discord, may be able to help you rule some things out.

[@albertoferraboschi5768]

question from a tech noob: why does high quality run better than low/medium quality?

[@CapScreenplay]

The bottleneck in Star Citizen is usually your processor, not your GPU. At best, low quality does nothing to your framerate but a lot to your graphics, and at worst (don't quote me on this), low quality may distribute some tasks from your GPU to your CPU, putting an even greater workload on it.

[@UniversityofStanton]

I don't recall all the details myself, but @CapScreenplay has the gist of it. Star Citizen is extremely CPU-heavy (the main thread has a lot of work to do for a game as it is, and CIG runs all kinds of things in parallel to collect/log data and so on). Going to Low or Medium shifts more work to the CPU that the GPU should be doing, and when you bog down the main thread EVERYTHING slows down.

[@JamesPero]

Essentially the game has yet to fully optimized for all of the quality settings.

[@nevs42]

Turning to low or medium increases performance quite a bit for me, probably because my 3060ti can’t take 3440x1440 res that well. However it has other issues, such as the lower you go, the closer you will have to be to the MFDs for them to show anything. So you either have to lower FOV or zoom in on them, otherwise they will appear off, and in combat zoom tends to change so they will flicker on/off quite often. High is the minimum to prevent that for me.

[@albertoferraboschi5768]

ok thanks everyone, now i get it. you actually helped me cause i've set on low before this and was wandering why performance got worse, so i really appreciate your explanations :) thx again

[@arran6138]

I have 32gb of ram and the game is downloaded on an SSD. I stress tested my 5600x and it performs as the average 5600x would same with my 2070. Anyone have any ideas what could be the issue? I'm running on 1440p and use dlss and usually decent fps around 60-70+ when my game isn't being chopping from loading new objects.

[@UniversityofStanton]

That's really interesting - we should check your virtual memory settings and make sure you don't have pagefiles on slow drives (which can cause effects like that sometimes). For some of these things (assets not appearing where you expect them to be) your internet connection could also be to blame.
