Build help Star Citizen | Performance & Tweaking Guide

[ErrolMc]

I came across this SC performance and tweaking guide by YouTuber 'BoredGamer' and the results are astounding.

Guide No.1:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8K9Xfn6YlQ

Guide no 2: https://www.redacted.tv/how-to-set-up-star-citizen-performance-guide/

Previously, my son could only run SC in 1080p at the lowest graphic setting, now he's running it at 1080p with the highest graphic settings and its smoother than before. 

It took about 40 minutes to complete the process, but the results are clearly worth the effort.  If this has been posted before then apologies in advance.

Enjoy.

Thank you for the guides, I do want to stress one thing, and that is that the game is CONSTANTLY changing. Granted, now they aren't doing as much between major patches as they used to, but usually every patch their is some sort of update to the graphics system, or it resets a lot of your settings.

I fully support modding config files and everything - it is one of the great things about being a PC gamer, but I just wanted to let you know to pay attention to your files and frames per second once 2.6 comes along, because you may see a performance drop if they reset or change the config files and settings.

Yes, all valid points. Most of us accept that we have access to an Alpha and playing around with the settings is going to be a constant "battle" that most of us do not want to bother with. If you like to play with optimization, have at it, but don't get frustrated when you find yourself spending more time than you want doing it.

@Gremlich @JakeStoanes Thx for the feedback and good point.

I reviewed the gfx and user.cfg tweaks but didn't apply them.  The Win10 optimization was enough to greatly improve performance.
