How to BOOST Your FPS in STAR CITIZEN 3.23+

[@Velus_]

IMPORTANT TIP‼⬇ I completely forgot to mention in the video that setting your system's virtual memory is very important! To do this, go to the Windows search bar and type "Advanced System Settings" and click, "View Advanced System Settings." Make sure that you are in the Advanced tab and click Settings on the Performance tab. Then go to Advanced again and under the Virtual Memory tab click Change. Select the drive that you have Star Citizen downloaded on and select Custom Size. Set the Initial Size to 16,000 and the Maximum Size to 32,000, click "Set" and then press OK. Then just click Apply and OK until you are out of the System Settings. ‼DO NOT do this if you play the game on a Hard Disk Drive, but only if you are on a Solid State Drive.‼

[@Sangvinivs]

One of the few things are pretty much mandatory for SC 😂

[@deroace]

@@Sangvinivs true 🤣

[@dontanton7775]

Win11 auto allocation is really good. If you have enough SSD space, auto will eat as much as it needs. The times where you manually need to select 2xRAM size as pagefile size are gone. Even worse, when you have 16gig ram and limit pagefile to 32 gig, that leaves you with a limit of 48 gig, while star citizen (with all it's bugs and leaks at the moment) sometimes asks for 50+ gig to be allocated. The important part when setting it to auto mode is that you have at least 60-70 gig free on the SSD you are using for the pagefile.

[@shaneedwards596]

should be "do not play on a mechanical HDD AT ALL!!!" you will face so many issues running the game and loading in will be terrible and it's always for Virtual Memory double the size of your exact amount of RAM available

[@blomsky3475]

Do You recommend this as the only virtual memory setting? SC is on drive F: (SSD) while OS is on drive C: (also SSD) which already had an entry for virtual memory. Should I keep the settings for drive C: and add VM settings to drive F: or should drive F: be the only one with VM settings? Edit: Forgot to mention that I´m using Windows 10

[@seanmackay6739]

Disabling high precision event timer only make it LOOK like a game is running smoother because FPS and Frame time logging rely on it for accurate performance measurements. Disabling it makes your performance monitoring less accurate which makes your nunbers look smoother even when performance is the same

[@LukieSeven]

Its almost like putting "optimization" in the same video as "Star Citizen" is a joke.

[@seanmackay6739]

@LukieSeven my comment has nothing to do with star citizen. It applies to all games, because people falsely tell you to disable high precision event timer as a general rule on optimization videos when it's wrong.

[@LukieSeven]

@@seanmackay6739 I appreciate what you did. Im not attacking or mocking you. Take a breath. Im mocking the idea that star citizen could ever be anything close to optimized. You proved that because that setting doesnt actually change things as you stated.

I went through and made adjustments with your recommendations and am very happy to say it has tremendously improved the smoothness of my experience. Thank you! I have outdated hardware and that cant be changed but it did improve the experience over all.

The first half of this video just over tripled the FPS I was getting on low settings with volumetric clouds off and I turned that on and bumped my graphics even. Thank you!

should not run less than high. it just hogs more cpu instead of gpu in its current form.

Lossless scaling is a great tool. I don't use it just because I get good enough frames without it, and sometimes for me it causes screen tearing. But most of the time, it works wonders. Thanks for the sub!

Volumetric clouds in photo quality at 4k in Orison is simply breath taking! I tried a lot of different settings, and played just native 4k on high to very high settings on my 5800X3D/7900 XTX rig, then I tried out the photo realistic clouds in Orison, and was like "Yep, this is how I want to play." Native 4k though was down to 20fps. I really like CGI's TSR upscaler, and use it on quality, which allows me around 50-60 FPS when flying into Orison. The settings I have it at loads my system pretty balance, and run into little bottlenecks, as I tried to eliminate them as much as I could with 32GB Samsung B-Die being tuned as well at 3733Mhz CL 14-8-14-14-22, with all secondary and tertiary timings tuned. I will try some of the other things suggested, like using Lasso, as I noticed I wasn't able to switch the priority for Star Citizen through WIndow's Task Manager. Great video! Really covered all the bases.

Thank you for these hints. For those who like me can't set high CPU priority in Process Lasso because it says "access denied", the registry alternative worked for me.

[@What3v3a]

If each patch shadercache is generated and stored in a new folder, I don't understand how deleting shadercache could have any benefit. Besides freeing up storage taken up by older unused shader compiles.

[@Kai_7901]

Process Lasso was a life saver. The event timer atleast for me made the game run worse but every PC is different. I would say if your going to set your cpu priority to high depending on your cpu its going to run hot. If so i would atleast set your curve optimizer to a minimum of -10 so it doesn't get too hot.

[@Kai_7901]

Also if your using AMD card I would at least try Vulcan. For me the game was more stable. Just remember it does have a small Vram leak. It will leak about 2gigs in 3 hours. I have a 7900xt so it's not really an issue for me but just wanted to let people know.

I definitely got a bump using these settings. I did start encountering a new issue though and I haven't nailed down which setting it is. If I am in another window like web browser, as soon as Windows puts SC into "efficiency mode" in the background, SC will CTD. Happens every time. Could this be the registry edit?

[@IAmKlagg]

You mentioned "HDR should be set to off" but followed with that's because you don't use HDR. Is there any other reason you suggest others do this or just personal preference? I don't recall my experience with SC and HDR as its been a while but I do use it wherever possible as it generally looks a lot better for most games.

Let me share my experience from yesterday. After playing on speakers instead of headset (too hot these days) I heard my 14 years old 1 TB Samsung HDD running at 100% (it was one of the 1st 1 TB originaly in external box and price was like 100 Euros back in 2010, now using it only for not as important data storage) My game was laging in the rythm of sounds of that HDD even tho my game is installed on M2 Kigston SSD. I realized it was Eset Antivirus doing its thing. Even after disabling thingy in Eset those lags kept going until I turn it off opened the PC case and disconnected that old grandpa for good. Since then no other issues. If you are like my suffering from good old NAH-am-NOT-throwing-THIS-it-MIGHT-be-USEFUL-in-THE-future then this may help :)

[@Velus_]

I think the storms affect FPS in wild ways for some reason. It's probably due to the particle effects and poor optimization due to it being an alpha. I think this is kind of normal from my experience.

Im getting 120-130FPS at 1440p with a 7800x3d and 3080ti with these settings. But what i have noticed since going to them, the game freezes (music/affect sounds still play) for about 3-4 seconds before resuming. First time launching the game after using these settings, about five minutes in I got a BSOD for a kernal error.

Did it persist?

Would any of these settings impact streaming to OBS or Discord? I got an IRQ error with an NVIDIA 2060KO while streaming to Discord, and flying to Area 18, and opening up Google to login to RSI.

[@inigma_X]

I think i fixed it by not limiting FPS of secondary apps at all (global settings), and also setting vsync to the global 3d option (which also fixed the obs stream stuttering).

That sounds like a more than reasonable frame rate for Star Citizen, especially if you’re sitting in a City, or one of the major planets. It’s not happening if you’re expecting a hundred or more frames unless you’re in space. It just won’t happen, the game itself isn’t optimized well enough some of my friends have basically NASA computers for Flight Sim and they get 100+ FPS on their sims but Star Citizen they don’t get more than 50 FPS. So I’d say see what the frame rate is in space, but the reality is youre already playing with more FPS than probably 3/4’s of the player base

Thank you so much for this video. I recently started playing this game with a computer my brother build a couple years ago. He built it with a ryzen threadripper 1950x 16 core processor and a Geforce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card installed. I have been crashing and getting watchdog errors from the get go. Sometimes as soon as I log in to the game, sometimes I cant get more than 30 minutes of play without crashing and sometime i can get a couple hours before i crash. I tried your settings hoping that that would help. Almost all my settings that you spoke of where different and needed to be changed. I logged in, flew from Tressler to Crusader and locked up while flying into Orison. All my hopes of solving my problems where shattered. Do you have any recommendations? Is this hardware just too old for this game?

[@Velus_]

It could be just due to the hardware being physically old. I've heard stories of a 1080ti being just fine in today's games. But I have another system with a 1070ti that struggles tremendously so it could be due to aging parts. My best advice is to look up "Star Citizen Ryzen 1950x 1080ti" or whatever your cpu and gpu is and you SHOULD find a channel benchmarking the game with those specs. My guess is that your bottleneck in Star Citizen Specifically is your processor. The 1950x is good but it's definitely a little slow compared to more modern processors. That is the only other thing I could think of.

[@alexwithanx]

I can only talk about 4k but ill take your system specs into consideration and assume youre gonna be playing at 1920x1080. 32gb ram is NOT enough for star citizen. I have 32 and mine is at 99% at all times. The 2070 is fairly old by now, also it only has 8gb vram. Star citizen (at least in 4k which is unusual bcs its usually the other way around) relys HEAVILY on cpu. Im playing on a rtx 4080 and its barely at 50% while my cpu (5800X) is constantly at 80-90% on ALL cores. You say a 2k$ pc isnt necessarry for star citizen but unfortunately it is! Also the guide in this video is kinda mid and besides changing the ingame settings (volumetric clouds for example) its not gonna impact performance much. For me DLSS on Quality was an absolute blessing. Quality is obviously not as good as native 4k but if im honest its x10 better to play at 80fps+ than 30 on Native.

@@rixxy9204 Because you set it in the NV control panel .texture filtering-Quality is High perfromance not high definition In Star Citizen, you can use as many resources as you have, including overclocking, so when your turbine power has no upper limit, this game will make full use of it. Even if you have enough resources, the game will still use your hardware at maximum speed. so it often causes the CPU to overheat and underclock. If you are an air-cooler like me, it is recommended that the wattage of PL1 and PL2 be limited. , the game will run more smoothly, as long as it can meet the power wattage of 70-80FPS. Of course, if your cooling capacity is good enough, you should be able to exceed this number by a lot. FPS + server latency exceeding 60 is basically invisible to the naked eye. The extra FPS will become a "deduction". When the calculation load is too heavy, it will become a resource that can be deducted to maintain it. 60FPS efficiency. The Vulka option was added after the 3.23 update, which CIG intends to use to replace DX11 in the future. When using Vulkan, Intel's Frametimes are significantly lower and more stable than AMD's. The main reason is the delay in L3 cache caused by AMD's CCX stack design. data latency is so high that it explodes, so people who use AMD processors are currently playing with DX11 settings, and the screen will be smoother. Interestingly, the FPS setting of Star Citizen cannot be adjusted in the game, but it can be controlled by setting the wattage of PL1 turbo. You can find a balance point between cooling efficiency and wattage, and you should be able to get the best result. The smoothness of the game has improved.

Which means you have to find a server with less people on it, and that will depend on the time when you play. So if you are from EU and play at afternoon / night, that means in Asia it's late night, people are sleeping, so it's easier to find less populated servers there. Or if you play from the America, then for you it's gonna be EU servers. Again depending on what time you play. This will all go away hopefully once server meshing is in and works well.

[@FlavorsomeMusic]

@@Aztaable I'm aware that a server performs better because there's less people, but asia is always a reliable lower pop server to log on to, and I very rarely need to switch off it.

[@prodigy455]

Lossless scaling with frame gen is by far the best thing to be used with the PU

[@M0T4]

Nice, but Quality > Very High is always better

[@negueba235689]

I did just buy the game. FPS is not the problem, the server is ! i try 3 weeks now. its always the same problem. interaction is slow! click and it take 1sec+ before somthing happens. and vary often 5 - 10 sec and then server error. I know alpha games have bugs!! but this game is vary close to not even be playabol at all.

[@GrandRiserOfficial]

Didnt work for me and my game stuck on loading screen

[@Velus_]

What are your PC specs?

[@ryandoughty7671]

Thank you for all this.

[@immense0281]

your vid helped me out, thanks

[@sagamer3594]

Thanks heaps dude!

[@Setuaro]

Doing all of this has only increased loading times to the point I might aswell be booting up another game, I'm going to reverse these changes because clearly it was useless on my system.

[@karlstrom1981]

Thank you so mutch m8 😎

[@Mozh644]

Bro i'm out here trying to make this run with a 1650s i'm not even sure if it could run.

[@JoeyMania91]

Did you ever find smooth settings? I'm debating whether to play again with my 1660 Super as a Ryzen 5 2600.

[@Mozh644]

@@JoeyMania91 I haven't played in like a month but Ii think your CPU will be your saviour likely. The settings don't matter, Id say keep them at high and Turn clouds off. I'd also recommend lossless scaling. It gives you a smoother gameplay Overall with 1650 super and i3 10100f I got 15-25 fps in cities and 25+ fps in outer space and stations and moons. So I'd guess you will have at least 5-10 fps more

[@JoeyMania91]

@Mozh644 , yeah that's about what I had. I might play again when I get the new PC built.

[@ivorito]

i use lossless scaling ang got 90 fps

[@RonJeremy514]

This is sad though to use scaling in order to get to play a game decently. This encourages devs to make more and more poorly optimized games abusing upscaling and TAA instead of optimizing and finding better solutions. It's scandalous that a decent GPU nowadays can't run a game on native res properly (and I will be kind saying 1080p-1440p, maximum UW).

[@NUCLEAR71124]

Thank you Human.

[@ingeonsa]

Do these settings fix the OP's audio micro stutter xD

Lets see you try flying a bike on cellum or daymar

[@OwlButler_CEN]

Hi Velus! My PC set is GTX3060Ti with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, I tried your guide and have a boost on frame rate but still not stable enough to do any distribution center mission. I wonder if that's probably my PC's limit or there's any possible way to further boost FPS beside methods in your guide.

[@Velus_]

With you mentioning the distribution center, I'm pretty sure fps will be low unless you have an absolute powerhouse of a pc, like best cpu, gpu, everything. What fps are you getting?

[@cblack3470]

Games using 30gb ram, gpu at 50%utl ... The devs just dont give a fuck

[@RonJeremy514]

They will say it's because it's EA, that optimization comes afterwards. LOL!

[@greygamer6220]

Great tips

[@MelonFelon57]

Thanks for the tips, but nothing exept deleting shader folders helped much :/ still only 24 fps haha

[@swindler1570]

Just heads - your legal name is visible in the video somewhere. I noticed you blurred out your start menu, so figured you'd like to know.

[@Velus_]

Thank you so much! I added a change so hopefully that hides it. I appreciate it!

[@swindler1570]

@@Velus_ Yay! Glad I could help. =)

[@swindler1570]

@@Velus_ Also - any tips for AMD GPU settings?

[@Velus_]

@@swindler1570 I'm kind of unfamiliar with AMD's GPU settings. The best thing I can say is to try to find the similar settings on the AMD GPU software that is similar to the settings I have on the NVIDIA Control Panel. I believe that a lot of the settings are the same with their AMD version of the names for them. But they should be similar.

[@Servalandark]

Subbed, Thank you so much... my game is now perfect 🙂

Thanks!!! 🎉

Of course!

Virtual Memory is a must do in starcitzen, need to know this, this in not in the vídeo, Your Welcome.

[@Velus_]

I did this to my system and COMPLETELY forgot to put that in the video. Thank you for pointing this out!

[@Velus_]

I pinned a message in the comments for anyone else who might see this on how to set up your virtual memory.

[@GrandRiserOfficial]

My game crashed :(

[@OiiBruv.o7]

I warning to everyone about adding/editing the REG is important, REGEDIT makes live changes to you system and 1 mistake could completely destroy it. It's not something to mess around with if you don't know what you are doing.

[@mevans4953]

Thanks for mentioning FOV. You can tell someone isn’t serious about a game unless they max out their FOV, and I find it nearly impossible to take their advice seriously unless they max out their FOV In any game. I’m sure a lot of people agree

[@Tattooniac]

Put everything on high

[@nd6886]

I wish I've seen this during 3.18.

[@TheBabeh]

Those are amazing tips but sorry that thumbnail is giga clickbait bro.

[@Velus_]

yeahhhhhhhh unless you have the most powerful parts I don't think anyone's getting 80fps in any city my bad og...

[@TheBabeh]

@@Velus_ I will release a video soon where people can ACTUALLY get that much FPS. So stay tuned ;)
