Fin Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi folks! so, I am just wondering how well my pc will run Star Citizen with my current specs? Will it run reliably or will I run in to constant issues? Specs: Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processo Thanks :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgivre Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hello, what you have so far seems pretty good. 2 others things to check Does your game run on an SSD ? What is your graphic card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Thanks for the reply! It's on an HDD as I dont have enough room on my SSD (uni stuff). GPU: 1660 armour series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgivre Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 ouch HDD is a no go, unless you have an SSD, the game would be a slide show and will take forever to load. Fin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaera Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I will second what @macgivre said. SSD is a must. There is also an issue with your video card being very rough handling a lot of the more intense areas of the game like Orison, dust clouds, etc... Additionally, pretty much everyone has said they experience a big performance difference with SC by going to 32GB of RAM from 16, so if you can, that's something worth doing. SSD + More RAM would be your "easiest" way to try to run it. But HDD=you'd ragequit after one session. macgivre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgivre Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 On a bright side, good SSD are cheaper and cheaper, and if you don't have slot available inside your computer, you can duct tape it on the side of the casing, as it is an SSD, if it falls it will not be damaged ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morse Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hello ! As @macgivre and @Chimaera already said, an SSD is a must have for Star Citizen. You can duct tape it or use rilsan if you don't have the mounts available. Increasing RAM might also be an option but you can try with 16Go for now i would say. Meanwhile, you can use the Telemetry dashboard to see where you are compared to other players. Here is a link explaining what is "Star Citizen telemetry dashboard" : https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011767373-Star-Citizen-Telemetry-Dashboard With this tool, you can see the number of FPS that people can get with their setup (and see the setup they have) in comparaison to yours. It can be a good way to determine rapidly if your computer can hold it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
