[@cpt.tombstone]

The drop in fps when powering up the ship is caused by the MFDs. They are still using Adobe Flash for the UI instead of the Building Blocks system CIG built. Flash is notoriously inefficient with resources, and the more MFDs you have, the worse the performance impact gets. Newer ships with only two MFDs are much better in this regard, but there is still an fps impact. Also, the HUD itself can also cause performance issues sometimes, but those are usually bugs, squashed quickly.

Should've mentioned Ollie in the title, maybe he just doesn't know how much he's bottlenecked and it would help him to get higher fps

[@XenoAstralGaming]

Your timing is perfect. I’m new to PC building and just built my own rig last year for SC. 4080, 13900k on a msi z790 edge with 64gigs of corsair vengeance 5600. I get almost identical fps to Ollie and couldn’t figure out for the life of me why it wasn’t performing better. I’ve just purchased the ram you linked. Thank you

[@gamedaytoday1]

Be carful if you get 64 Gigs of 7200Mhz it may not be stable with 4 dims so you would probably need to increase the voltage a bit to get it stable.

[@evindtv]

The game isn't optimized, but you inspired me to take a deeper look into my RAM. Turns out I'm rocking awful RAM CL42 and doesn't even have XMP. Just in time to pick up a black Friday dead

[@gamedaytoday1]

Two things can be true at the same time. While indeed the game is not optimized, it does not help that your PC is not optimized either.

[@Naqaj]

2:24 these performance dips have nothing to do with simulation at all. It is the displays. All the ship displays are currently still running on the original CryEngine UI tech, which is based on flash. Yes, Adobe/Macromedia Flash, which is a cool 28 years old. CIG's in-house developed replacement for that is called building blocks and will hopefully begin to be rolled out to ship displays with the Master Modes update in 3.23.

[@jan-christophglaser1763]

You would have to be actually on the same server to make a real comparison. Since the server performance has a huge impact on the client fps.

Intel needs that high speed memory but you don't on the AMD Ryzen which prefers lower CAS.

[@noalear]

The 3D cache processors are the move with SC. Probably for the same reason as high memory speed. Now I want to see how high I can clock my memory!

[@nightspiderx1916]

Tuned RAM is indeed very important for Star Citizen but every Star Citizen player, considering buying a new PC or new CPU should wait for the new Zen 5 CPUs. 8800X might be 25-40% ahead of 7800X and with tuned RAM even far ahead of the 7800X3D.

[@0Metatron]

I would wait for a Zen 5 X3D chip rather than the first Zen5 they release Lots of ppl hit that issue last time, that the first couple of chips in the series are not the best and they hold them back until later down the line to sell more

[@nightspiderx1916]

I'm about 1 minute in and I can tell you it is his memory speed. I switched from a 5900X to a 5800 X3D and didn't notice any increase in FPS until I noticed that my machine turned off my XMP. Turning on XMP I was able to get 135 FPS in the middle of space. That's with the 3080 and and 32gb @ 3200 MHz and a ship that was powered on. No idea why a gamer would go Intel when the 3D chips are by far the fastest overall gaming chips.

[@tommyrottn]

I'll add a few comments. My laptop has a 13900HX and 64 GB ram but it's only running 5200 mhz it gets about 47 fps @ 1440p (yes you need more than 32 GB, you will top out at about 33 or 34) My regular rig is due for an upgrade but has a 10850K at 5.3 all core with DDR4 memory running at 4260 mhz (which is roughly 8500 mhz in DDR5) It also has a 4090. I run 4K vsync because that's what I like. After everything settles down, it runs a solid 60 FPS with the CPU at 85% and the GPU at 60-80%.. So yes, I agree memory speed is very important for Star Citizen. It's the main reason I overclocked my memory to 4260. Still sourcing parts for my upgrade, which will be a fully water cooled 14900k with 8000 mhz memory and a 4090. o7

[@philipm5043]

Hi. Whats the minimum spec to average 60 fps in cities? I have rtx 4080, 5800x and 32gb 3200mhz

[@gamedaytoday1]

You would need to overclock the memory and CPU. I made a video about it here: Star Citizen 5800X vs 5800X3D + RTX 4090 Unlocking Maximum FPS! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrEdHVuj85srLc

[@MrDaisygrand]

This great video demonstrates that Star Citizen heavily relies on memory bandwidth, highlighting its poor optimization for both previous and current hardware. The x3D model AMD cpus stand out as an exception due to their larger on-chip cache, which helps mitigate the impact of lower bandwidth compared to higher-clocked DDR5 systems. 13900KF + DDR5 8200 MHz 131 GB/s 14900KF + DDR5 5600 MHz 89.6 GB/s 7800X3D + DDR5 6000 MHz 96 GB/s

[@gamedaytoday1]

Due to AMD's FCLK limit at 2000mhz the 7800X3D at 6000Mhz is limited to 64GB/s (2000*32) The larger cache only helps in low demanding areas such as in space where it print massive FPS. From testing I can say that increasing GB/s scales pretty linar until 7200Mhz (105.6 GG/S) then memory latency starts to play a big role to gain more performance. Then after that frequency starts to matter.

[@Kessra]

Are you sure you play on the same settings as the other streamer does? From the clips taken it seems you're using a different one (based on the different sizes of text of the display info), maybe also upscaled or the like. Sure, using more potent RAM Dimms for sure can make an impact though this also requies overclocking your CPU which may degrade faster and/or leave your system unstable or even harm components on the long run, as the I9-13900k has an upper "natural" transfer rate of 5600 MHz.

[@lifeisconflict1140]

It's crazy to see that a $2000 GPU is struggling to put up a solid 60 FPS at 1440p, even with the inefficiencies. The 'good one' isn't doing much better in many instances, sometimes barely getting over the 60.

[@Aero_Yuki]

To me, this video recommendation is less about tuning and more about "go buy better RAM". Unfortunately, this cannot be done in some cases without buying a new motherboard first. Not everyone will have the disposable income to upgrade their PCs every few years when the latest tech is available.

[@surject]

..or if you got too much money and install 4x32GB into a Z790. XMP won't work with that big amount of memory. Had to find out the hard way.

I know I still got alot to learn heck just the other day was the nvme incident glad my friend helped me long before we bought any, my point is maybe talk to ollie if you don't want people to make these mistakes you or I as someone who is more knowing when it comes to tech we got a gift and people wont learn ya know teach a person to fish and all that! if ollie is informed on it if he hasn't seen this already maybe just show him then maybe give him advice or some links on how to do it himself, but keep this vid up cause it does still help others who don't know alot of people outside our techie circles don't realise building pc's is fun, surprisingly modular and easy to learn to install & upgrade these days and lastly it's more often than not cheaper that retail! my sibling had their laptop die I did warn them about a new laptop especially around that time due to reports of corners cut due to covid having an effect on production quality of electronics also laptops don't generally last as long as a desktop across the board unless they actually was careful she got one of those lenovo legion 5's and yeah I did say the components were good like the gpu and cpu were up to spec... but I never said about the mb and even much to my surprise it hadn't even reached warranty run out time of 2yrs before everyone with a legion 5 seemed to be experiencing the same motherboard failure (a specific transistor sited as the problem) they wanted to charge her £500 for repair we said at that price & the fact any replacement will likely do the same thing in 2 yrs (she couldn't get free repair because she removed the warranty sticker not knowing what it was) so I said frick it lets get something that will last! she wanted to get a fancy pc on scan but it would of been £1600 and due to her income they wouldn't let her do it on credit so... I got her roughly the same components better gpu though and it comes in around £1512 not much lower but keep in mind the better components instead of a 7000 series she's getting a 9600X, asus TUF gaming a620-m plus and a 32Gb of RAM keep in mind she's not gonna be playing SC her most demanding game is fortnite on epic settings so rather than a rog 4070ti oc just a TUf Gaming 4070 OC edition and a 1000W gold Gaming tuf PSU if she ever did wanna upgrade the current case could be an issue since she's borrowing my old build for now and slowly upgrading it into the new one and well it may not be a ti but the 4070 tuf oc is just as big as my gpu and sadly my old case is an msi vampiric o11c ryzen and the 40 series are absolutely frikkin huge if your pc case isn't a wide atx mid tower at least then your gonna run into the gpu cable issue or the cpu heatsink issue you see the 40 series are more of an eatx kinda gpu especially the rog versions.... so at 13 plus inches it barely fit in that case but the more troubling thin was the cards width if I had put the glass on the case it would of cut off the 12 pin connector at the wrapped part near the base that you should never flex 12 pin connectors are notorius for burning issues and those 90 degree adapters were just as dangerous! so to avoid this issue entirely with my sisters gpu I am buying a cooler master V3 kit which is a vertical gpu mount it can fit most cases even ones with none vertical capabilities and it comes with the 4.0 riser cable this means the atx connector will not be bending at glass but be aiming upwards the gpu mount can be adjusted in length to fit even large or small gpus and it can be adjusted further in or further out so as long as theres enough room you should leave a gap both behind the gpu on it's shelf (btw some gpu got holes in the back to let some heat out the back the shelf has holes) and most importantly leaving a gap between the gpu fans and the glass so it doesn't choke... i'm considering getting one myself but with that new mb I might not need one myself besides I got the rgb herculx it would be wasted if I got a vertical mount now! go for your dreams frick everyone who says you can't (within legal reason) and save up and invest and if you don't have the skills the internet is a big place if you don't know where to look theres even yt vids for that! heck theres even vids on how to use the search bar the right way to get what your looking for (asking the right questions with the right language usage is also a learnable skill) now don't take everything to heart those of us in the tech sector of youtube know about the whole verge incident a long long time ago where a rookie somehow got greenlit to build a pc not his fault was the channel creators though so make sure if you know someone tech savvy or if you don't try to find one preferably less opinionated than me i'm a team red cpu fanboy and a rog fanboy but it's useful if you got a friend more knowledgeable pick their brains about stuff they like introducing new people to the scene! that being said my post here isn't gonna help many because I have just realised if your here it probably means your already doing all that and probably pretty tech already so the very few minute amount who have stumbled into this from their YT reccomended I.... hope this helps? ignore the rest it's the ramblings of ASD and severe ADHD apparently!

I don't have a similar system, not even close, but AFMF does some magic with my RX6800, OC memory to iirc 3433mhzw and just CL17, so not the best of memory OC, but not the worst and an ancient 2700x is getting similar fps to that Novatech build. 900 Dollar Build at todays prices. ;-) 1000 Dollar build with the much better 5800x3D which I still need to install. And don't be fooled, for FPS combat, you 100% do not want just Fake Frames to boost up the smoothness because it's all just looking smooth but the underlying fps issues can still be felt when playing with mouse and keyboard, but for flying with joysticks ... seems absolutely fine to go with 60-90 fps native and just boost with with AFMF for smooth looking gameplay.

Never buy a prebuilt. They short change the customer so they can increase profits. It's so easy to put together a great pc these days. Tons of information out there. You don't need to wait for the next greatest thing either. I put together a new pc in November 2023. At 4K, max settings, it gets 80 to 200+fps. No need to get more than 32G memory for Starcitizen. The most I've seen it use is 29. The cpu and gpu never get close to 100%. I did go with the fastest memory that was compatible with my motherboard. Don't just go with the highest DDR speed, get the best timing you can. As for the install drive I'd go with a PCIe 4 M.2. I was tempted to go with a PCIe 5, but didn't due to the cost increase.

[@Halengar-o7]

TBH while Star Citizen is currently CPU limited it is much more likely to be bottlenecked by GPU in future as they are moving a ton of the workload onto the GPU with the Vulkan renderer and other engine improvements coming this year.

[@realWorsin]

Your test literally means absolutely nothing without being able to replicate all of the exact same conditions including the server that you were on.

[@gamedaytoday1]

Why do you think that?

[@realWorsin]

@@gamedaytoday1 Because the games FPS can be severely affected by a slow populated server. If I am on a server by myself I am getting insane FPS but if I am on a server with 100 people many areas like planets are laggy and low FPS. It is incredibly hard to do this type of test in SC because of the huge variation in experience due to the servers themselves not being optimized and so severely affected by traffic and server bugs.

[@gamedaytoday1]

@@realWorsin do you know why a populated server impacts your clients (PC) performance? If you answer the question correctly, then you would know why this test is comparable. You can definitely add a 5% margin of error, to this results. But you’re not saying that so… Two things can be true at the same time. In this case a truth is a tuned pc drastically improves the FPS in star citizen whether the server is populated or not.

[@Pillokun]

fast ram indeed helps, but to be honest Star citizen should not be such a perf hog, after all when u damage your ship all it does to the ship is to replace the undamaged ship model with a damaged ship model, it does not even have a real time damage model where the ship model actually crumbles like in a cad software.

[@PapaSumaFitz]

Sorry to be negative, but lot of red flags here. There isn't enough data or control to determine causation. In general, faster clocked memory should result in higher framerates but not the framerates differences shown here. There are too many unknowns to say whether the builder did a poor job on the settings/configuration or there are a combination of other factors. And really, how many people have a 1440p monitor that's got over 144hz refresh without significant other drawbacks? Also, what is the tick rate of Star Citizen? Super high refresh rates can be problematic for the game. Lastly, Star Citizen is getting better, but every time you log in, performance and stability are a crap shoot, so this kind of comparison is largely pointless. I wouldn't make any purchasing decisions off of this video or off of Star Citizen performance.

"Keep in mind I'm doing other things with my PC as well" sounds like a copout for shitty performance, to me. Even a noob like me knows that 5600 DDR5 is garbage compared to even 6000, much less 8000. Why would anyone who plays SC even think about using 5600? I get that it was a FREE PC from a SPONSOR, but they embarrassed themselves by putting such crappy ram in a top end PC. Why would ya? DEEEEERRRRRRRRP!!!!! They must be morons. They really wasted an opportunity to show off how well that kit would run with higher quality DDR5. Most people will look at the price of expensive ram and say PASS. However, when you see the difference in performance you dig into the pocket for a little more money because you can see the difference it makes, and it's a big difference. They must be morons to have wasted such an opportunity to showcase the kit, and decided to go cheap on the ram. BAD decision.

Wrong Ollies video is 26 jan 2024 mine is 23 Mar 2024, correct yourself, that is 2 months. it is both SC 3.22. Also don't use the not the same server fallacy to explain away 50% performance difference. there is max 15% between the a bad server to a good server and it also depends on where you are and timing. I have done enough tests to see this. Server FPS does not impact performance on your client it is actually how many NPCs that the server is spawning near you that your client needs to compute. I had a server with 5FPS and I know they don't impact my performance, I have done enough test to see this. My controlled test I did in the past shows' 55% difference between 5600Mhz and 8200Mhz in star citizen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXq3naWajNiUjacsi=xm-LHaYo1c6Esp9r Just try it for yourself.

[@larrypaul2462]

Little something you are overlooking, as the majority of gamers do! Especially when it comes to multiplayer games. Even gets worse once you factor in peer to peer games, won't dive into that one as Star citizen is server/client (aka dedicated server servers) Your ping time to a server is as fast as you will receive location data on other players in the game with absolutely no way around it. Give you a breakdown of ping times needed to be "optimized" you'll notice these are exactly the same as frame times, intentionally, and only using two frame times, but yes could very much be broken down alot further no doubt about it. 16.7ms for 60fps 33.4ms for 30fps Considering most have coax rather than fiber, average ping times are actually greater than 35ms, or slightly slower than a 30fps if they are located within the same region of the server and the ping will be much greater for those farther away. A physics thing and the users ultimate speed limit for communications between the client/server. Many get speed confused with bandwidth, without getting into great detail just think of bandwidth being a big truck on the road compared with a car, the big truck carries more than that car, while going the exact same speed as that car. Higher the rate of fps over and above the ping time to the server you are connected to the more unoptimized the client is, with two slight exceptions, draw more power which raises your electric bill and heat produced. Other than those two exceptions, you will gain absolutely nothing. The electric bill is a net loss, but beside the point. Not as big of a deal as ping times but ultimately plays a factor as well. Star Citizen servers only do 15fps on a good day and for a very short amount of time. Most of the time the servers are running 7fps or less.
