Some extra notes to add; I did this as a quick test just to see how a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM held up against the latest Star Citizen HUD they added in awhile back, and can't say that I'm really satisfied with it, I previously was running a 5800x3d, at about 20-30 less FPS, but before the HUD update, I more or less had the same FPS in rooms as the 9800x3d here. Just another symptom of the devs not really caring on what they add in is optimized or not. Can only hope that they somehow manage to add in Vulkan proper and fix the FPS problem, but I doubt it, it likely will be a full year before anything happens with that.
Another thing; I am running the RAM at a slower speed for better stability, as building this system up had some hiccups, and I've been slowly working on fixing all the issues that came with installing a new motherboard and cloning a SSD to a NVME. I will also add that I'm operating on windows 10, and not 11.
As for any other notes, 48GB will work just fine with star citizen, I took the extra RAM in case of any potential memory leak issues that may arise from this game, as it has in the past and caused fps issues.

My CPU would be like 70% and GPU at from 70-85% utilization. Neither would ever peg 100% so goes to show that software is limitation here, not hardware.

[@velocitymg]

Was hoping mine would be up and running by now, 9800x3d is just sitting here as every single board I would consider is out of stock….glad I made the right choice though. 9800x3d, 7900xtx, 64gb ram running at 6400 cl32.

[@bmorefranklucas]

Just tried running on 1800x surprisingly it works

[@sheg9629]

i really want a direct compare with 5800x3D vs 9800x3D without the DLSS stuff

[@Fluke2SS]

The 7800X3D is vitually identical to the 9800X3D and notably faster than the 5800x3D. Mista stated that fact in the description. And his statement about having same FPS in rooms before the HUD update didn't involve high traffic major landing zones. Everyone's FPS is shit in those areas. Some more some less.

[@Edukacyjny_pa-troll]

I can tell you 7700x with 7900GRE and 64gb semi fast ddr5 ram. 30-70fps NB. The only diffrence with this video is I play 1080p (old tv) and everything is on high(vhigh), clouds on photo, no fsr stuff. Just plain old very high settings. That's yesterday on 3.24.2 live.

[@Fluke2SS]

@@Edukacyjny_pa-troll That also is dependent on population of the server, and in the landing zone as well as Server FPS. I get the same or better with or without DLSS with the same settings on a 10900k with a 3080 with 64gb ddr4 at 2560x1440. Then other days like I said, 30-50 fps and some days 30-40. Out in space I get 60-120 fps depending on asteroid density like at Grim Hex. Hell at pyro stations we are talking about 20-30 fps like the good old days of Levski. And that is with Server meshing and 20-30 server fps along with several hundred people or more in the same area. Then add in the fact that cockpit views cause a huge loss in FPS from external views of the ship. Haven't figured out why on that one yet, but FPS losses as high as 30-60%.

[@Edukacyjny_pa-troll]

@@Fluke2SS I just cant justify switching form 7700x to 7800x3d or higher for few more frames (3-6% apparently). Funny you mention, when servers are less stable i can see lower framerates. Im not lucky enough to be in evo or wave1 but i hope it gets better and better from 4.0 onwards

[@Fluke2SS]

@@Edukacyjny_pa-troll Same here. Hoping it gets better as well. Its tolerable, but figure with 800 people flying in polaris on a single server mesh... good luck at landing zones lol. The way I figure it if my FPS goes into the negative digits Nvidia will have to pay me to use their cards.

Crazy how much fps mfd's eat when switching to first person view. Thanks for the video was waiting for haha! My next cpu will be this for sure.

[@DobeyTube]

Thank you. I was planning to build new PC next year with 9800X3D dedicated for Star Citizen. If my build can handle this game, it can play any game.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I long for the days to see the game optimized better. Before the patch that introduced Vulkan, I used to get more performance than this with a 5800X3D, 64gb, and a 6800XT at 1440p. And after moving to 4k with a 7900XTX I still had more performance than this. Then the Vulcan patch came and the game has never run the same for me again, I lost about half my performance and nothing I've done had brought it back. My 9800X3D finally shipped yesterday, can't wait to get the new system built and see how it handles things. Your low GPU utilization shows that you're likely still CPU limited in the station where you spawned, you're probably single core bound, which won't show looking at overall CPU utilization. Unless you were using DLSS just to put more load on the CPU, I'd absolutely be playing native.

[@paranikumarlpk]

Hey ggs mate . Thanks for the early Star citizen benchmark of 9800x3d. I was eagerly waiting for this and I can see the lows on planet surfaces while taking down the mrt that entrenched bounty mission , my 5800x3d gets as low as 39fps but the 9800x3d stays above 67+ fps that's no joke . It's very impressive and on cities 5800x3d runs at mid 20s to low 30s but the 9800x3d holds above 40fps . With some RAM tweakings and undervolting and pbo , it may boost 5 to 10fps more ??

[@Mistasandman]

likely the case, I'll be sure to give it a try in the following days/weeks and see what I get, as there's still plenty of other places to check out.

[@paranikumarlpk]

[@jsbfe9395]

Great, but I have two observations: 1) According to the link on your description your RAM is CL 30, not CL32. Not really important, I just happen to use the same exact memory module. 2) Is SC memory allocation 34GB? Isn't that a bit excessive? I play SC 4K all max (except clouds on High) and I rarely see anything above 18GB.

[@Mistasandman]

Yeah, I did a typo there. I'll be sure to change it here in a bit. as for memory allocation, I couldn't tell you what's causing it to eat up so much RAM, I had some external applications open on the side, but nothing that would impact CPU or GPU performance.

[@Warsheep2k6]

You might notice that the 4080 is chilling at 50-60% and while the 800x3d is also at the same percentage, some cores run full throttle your gpu will probably settle at 70-80% no problem there

[@Mansour449]

[@great_generalchannel]

love the game SC. gta in space. I want 9800x3d now

[@Fluke2SS]

They do have vulkan. I was wondering why you weren't using it. Also notice how your FPS drops by almost 30% or more (depending on where you are in the game) when you go to cockpit view? Then back to normal with F4 external view of the ship? Ya, that is a huge issue that should be reported. I get the same issue, going from 80 FPS from external view on the polaris down to 30 FPS with cockpit view in the Polaris. Here's the funny part, If you store your ship at a gas station after that happens, then call it back out, it will clear up the FPS in and out of the Polaris, but once you start the polaris it happens again. I am suspecting a memory leak of sorts with the UI but can't prove it yet. I have 64GB of RAM myself and SC uses up to 25GB. I had to downclock my RAM some because using 2 different speeds and compatibility, at 3000Mhz instead of the faster ram running at 3466Mhz. DDR4 vs your DDR5. Also on a 3080 and 10900k so you have better hardware than I do. I do use Vulkan and DLSS, but rather or not I don't it does nothing with the framerates. My FPS is the same with or without Vulkan, and with or without DLSS.

[@shimairskhull]

This performance issues inside the cockpit with MFD have been in the game for ages. There have been reported many times and I think the devs are pretty well aware about it. It happens as well on foot but it’s less noticeable.

[@LucidStrike]

[@TheDude50447]

Mem speed and fclk + ratio is extremely important for Zen 4/5. So I really recommend setting up the memory and finding the reason for the stability issues. Like this I honestly think youre leaving performance in the double digit percentages on the table. I would be really happy about some feedback since I might be building pretty much the same system with a different gpu and I plan on going 8400 ram in a 2 to 1 ratio. But from Zen 4 experience the system should easily be able to handle 6000 to 6400 Mts. Might be a MB issue or Vmem is too low. Also the Zen 4 mem controllers at least didnt really like dual rank with 4 sticks.

[@Mistasandman]

I plan on it, just doing some research for now since I just got it recently.

[@Mistasandman]

@@Eli9A nah all good, as for multicore, years ago I remember them mentioning that they do utilize all cores, here's a quote from Silvan in a thread named "Current and projected CPU core count": "as of now we are already utilizing all cores. However, there are two threads (Main Thread and Render Thread) which have a very high utilization depending where you are in the game. In draw call heavy scenes like Lorville, Newbab etc. the game is mostly bottlenecked by the RenderThread. This is quite a big dealbreaker at the moment and is the major reason why the game is so slow in big locations and why maxed out single thread performance is still so important for Star Citizen. Gen12 along with Vulkan will improve this massively. The first step will be the new Gen12 renderer which will already improve performance by a big margin due to improved Render Thread performance. Starting with 3.14 we will be slowly rolling out parts of gen12. However, you will see the big performance improvement only once everything is fully transitioned, specifically once we enable the gen12 scene rendering. In parallel we are working on the vulkan backend which comes along quite nicely as well. It is to be expected that we can roll out vulkan shortly after the full Gen12 renderer is working. Once that is done we will push into parallelizing the whole scene rendering even more and get rid of the entire Render Thread. When this is done the rendering will be utilizing all available cores as much as it can and we should no longer be bottlenecked by the rendering."
