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.‼

One of the few things are pretty much mandatory for SC 😂
@@Sangvinivs true 🤣
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.
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
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
Thanks, this stopped the stuttering issues I had, and now even my graphics are much better on top of performance. There are so many little details I've been missing. I'm like, those stairs have lights. Oh, the signs flicker. Wow, the reflection on this plant in the station is so nice😂
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
DUDE THANK YOU! got about a 30-40% bump in overall performance. Like i knew some of these things, but the Lasso really helped most of my improvements came from there appreciate this
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.
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!
Why don't you show the results before and after? Reducing windows host files brings instability to the system. Show the FPS before and after, otherwise it's just repeating more of the same man.
Thanks for the tips mate, they worked great for getting some of the hitching I was getting and the game still looks good. 👍
Great tips and subbed
Thank you for this, you got my sub
Works great for me on a 4 years old gaming laptop after tuning as per your video. Good job.
Thanks man I got about 10 to 15 fps extra🔥
I'm glad I could help!
If I get 10-15 FPS more, I will have 20
@Velus One of the other ones that I always forget to tell people about is to set Discord to not use Hardware Acceleration. You don't really need it for audio. I have seen that boost Star Citizen 10 fps.
Dang this was a lot, good video!
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.
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.
@@Kai_7901 i thought they fixed the ram Leak :O
Hey, thanks for this video! How did you make your wallpaper ???
I found it on Wallpaper Engine!
@@Velus_ THXXXXXX :DD
Yeah imma need that background please 🙏
It would be beneficial if you also mentioned your computer specs. Are you running current gen or earlier? Might help determine what is useful for some people.
this helped me alot
A big Problem are the Server too. Often you have almost dying server where you get way less fps than you could have.
I've felt the same thing as a new player!
Yeah thats 100% true.
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 :)
I personally think that Windows Defender or Malwarebytes is better than any paid anti-virus. Norton and other things like it bog down your computer so this is totally a real issue for many people.
Strangely enough, I received a 10-15 fps boost switching clouds to photo mode.
Sad to see them set to off in the video, they add so much to the game.
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?
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.
What is in SoT SOTG? You also play Sea of Thieves? And is Work-School really work inside?
Velus, is that a moving background, if so, where can I get it?
I use wallpaper engine on Steam. It’s probably $5 max for the program and you can download whatever wallpaper you want.
Thank you so mutch m8 😎
Great tips
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.
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?
tried the nvidia control panel stuff on my 5800X3D / RTX 3080 FE PC and now
Helldivers 2 hast stopped working in two of four rounds,
my OBS stream is unwatchable (like sometimes the frames go up and down instead of a normal constant 60fps).
Have to undo some of the changes and retest everything.
Tried to log in (Orison) still 40fps on low / off details :P
wtf. this video made me realize i havent had rebar on this whole gadam time. this whole time i thought it was on
Thanks!!! 🎉
Of course!
if you have intel 13/14th i7 or i9 You can try it Vulkan
Vulkan was great until I got to a moon, the textures weren't rendering 100%
@@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.
I want to know how to fix the performance on the surface on some areas of the moons. It just tanks to sub 30fps in some instances on a 4080.
Yeah it's horrible land vehicles just blow up its so bad
Lossless scaling with frame gen
what processor do you have? my 4080 SUPER is doing fine almost everywhere
its wierd, when I use fsr upscaling all my mfd's on my ships don't show anything.
32gb of dram is my recommendation too..
The game also scales based on ram. I upgraded to 64gb and the game started using a max of 28-32GB when needed.
No Problem with Vulcan here and it performs much better for me.
5K€ configuration pc ?
@@TUROCK320 ryzen 7800x3d and a rtx4070 and 32gb ram.
@@Hotte1967 Same here 7800x3D and 7900xtx. MUCH more stutter on DX11.
Vulkan was great until I got to a moon, the textures weren't rendering 100%
Lets see you try flying a bike on cellum or daymar
Thanks for the tips, but nothing exept deleting shader folders helped much :/ still only 24 fps haha
7800x3d, nvidia 3080, 64gb DDr5 and my games fps is fine everywhere until im on the ground and a storm or massive wind happens then i tank below 20fps everytime no idea how to fix
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.
There hasn't been a need to delete shaders for a year now at least.
Every single update it creates a new folder and generates new shaders.
Also shader cache size doesn't matter, game still generates the same shader cache amount.
I just kinda see it as, "better safe than sorry" ya know?
Hi all. I have a 12600K and 4070Ti with 64Gb Ram. Nearly all settings for me does not improve anything. The main thing what was im proving overall PFS was Process Lasso and turning all Core's + E-Cores to Star Citizen. I've got from 48 PFS avg. to 70 FPS avg. What I was not ecspecting. Also HT enabled.
Interresting 🐱
What is HT ?
@@TUROCK320 Hyper Threading
@@robertm5355 thanks
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
I wish I've seen this during 3.18.
How can I get this live desktop wallpaper? 🌟
I use Wallpaper Engine, it's a great tool for getting cool animated wallpapers. It does use up system resources tho so I turn it off when playing Star Citizen.
Why vertical sync on fast and not off?
Fast sync is a smarter Vsync Off that still keeps your game running as fast as possible but also doesn't tear because it won't render partial frames.
WHY YOU DID NOT RECORD BEFORE AND AFTER BENCHMARKS?
1) I didn't even think about it idk why lol.
2) Everyone's system will perform differently, even if you have the exact same parts.
@@Velus_ it will perform differently with 1-5% difference, but if results are good for you, it will be good for others too
Put everything on high
Ships do not render for me while in the hangar. Frames are below 20s for most issues. Im trapped on the ground until the server crashes
What are your specs for your pc?
@@Velus_ i run a gen 7 cpu and a 1050ti and 32gb ram...
@@Underb00t that could be part of the reason. But my old 1070ti can still just barely get the job done on my other system. So it all just depends.
@@Velus_ ill stick to Elite Dangerous then, got some exploring to do.
Nice, but Quality > Very High is always better
Lossless scaling with frame gen is by far the best thing to be used with the PU
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.
Thank you so much! I added a change so hopefully that hides it. I appreciate it!
@@Velus_ Yay! Glad I could help. =)
@@Velus_ Also - any tips for AMD GPU settings?
@@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.
think it's important to say that game mostly depends on server side performance and switching to a better server, like asia, will probably yield much better results than everything here, at least in my own experience. ;o
A little correction. Asia servers are not "better", what makes a server better is the server FPS ( tick rate ), and less populated servers have more FPS. 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.
@@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.
Those are amazing tips but sorry that thumbnail is giga clickbait bro.
yeahhhhhhhh unless you have the most powerful parts I don't think anyone's getting 80fps in any city my bad og...
@@Velus_ I will release a video soon where people can ACTUALLY get that much FPS. So stay tuned ;)
@@TheBabeh BET. Just let me know bro, otherwise I'm gonna have to hook up a nitrous tank to my pc and hope that works lmaoooo
All these videoa recommending settings are a mess!
They all contradict each other 😅 😅😅
Virtual Memory is a must do in starcitzen, need to know this, this in not in the vídeo, Your Welcome.
I did this to my system and COMPLETELY forgot to put that in the video. Thank you for pointing this out!
I pinned a message in the comments for anyone else who might see this on how to set up your virtual memory.
Want better fps try Lossless scaling on stream
does not work at all
What is you config pc ?
How many fos ?
Overclock cpun?
the only good thing here is the 10gb shader cash. you are not getting 20-80 fps like your click bait title suggests
I figured that anyone who knows the game knows that they won't be getting 80fps in a city so it was sort of a joke. But you can still increase your fps bigtime.
7800x3d 7900xtx 6Ghz 32GB RAM NVMe ssd and on my setup the game is so MUCH smoother on Vulkan than DX11 its crazy. Stutters every few second on DX11 i tested it again because i was curious and i hated it lol. Turned off High precision event timer in Device Manager and downloaded Process Lasso, set SC on high, and i think it gave me few FPS more. And Lasso seems like cool utility to use, thanks! 👍
I'm glad I could help! Also I recommended to most people that they stick with D3D because in most systems for people who haven't upgraded to more modern parts it seems that using Vulkan can cause a memory leak and the game will run fine for a short time and then FPS will tank shortly after. This is also dependent on your system but I'm glad it works for you!
@@Velus_ Yeah looks like Vulkan is for the x3D boys only lol. Though the x3D and bigger L2 Cache is just marketing mumbo jumbo, but it actually works it seems 😀
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
No need to push fps, if the server doese 2 fps anyway.
This does not work people!!!!! Please quit following videos like these as this literally does nothing for your FPS. Your FPS is based on your PC hardware/specs and internet connection at time of playing. The server "health" and population, as well as how many entities on said server are present and being tracked, is also a factor. These changes literally do nothing for your FPS.
They worked for me and many other people in the comments. There are definitely things that can not be changed with settings or software, and hardware will limit you. But there are DEFINITELY things that can be fixed with software as well. Everyone's system is different. What works for someone might not work for someone else. Many people have said these fixes helped so clearly it's done something right. If it doesn't work for you, I'm sorry to hear that, but I hope you find a way to fix it!
Fake Video 😂 you cant get 1fps more
IF YOU GOTTA JUMP THRU HOOPS TO GET A GAME TO RUN PROPERLY SIMPLY MEANS THE GAME IS NOT OPTIMIZED AND YOU SHOULD SIMPLY NOT PLAY IT.
Mmm seems like you’re new to PCs lol
Not a pc gamer I take it.
You got it wrong mate, means the game is still on developpement, means that it’s still obviously not optimised but waiting for next uptades for more optimization, that’s the art of developping, nothing comes all good at first but if you played the game instead of raging out like a little baby you would know, even if sc is not optimized yet it has a lot more to come, the devs just don’t have interest in optimization yet because new content is constantly addes, so it would mean a lot more time on optimization
@@rksfr4143 is that not what i said lil rainbow nonbinary?! Let me Quote myself!!!
"SIMPLY MEANS THE GAME IS NOT OPTIMIZED"
@@Fatpumpumlovah2 These settings are not SC specific. Any game from Wow to cp2077 will see an increase in fps and frame stability with these settings. Especially competitive pvp players will make theses changes to any game they play. People who play games on older hardware like a 1060/1080ti or lower end cpu's can see massive fps increases with some of these settings.... for any game.
