sebcreed 1,522 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Honestly I don't think it's worth building a rig for it just yet as it's not even optimised yet. Wait for it to come out then start seeing about it. I can get 60fps in places but it's no where near stable in the persistent universe. Check my profile for specs! As for gaming online It will have little to no risk to you using your pc for work. You probably have more risk opening an email and getting a virus than you do gaming online. Yeah there's not much to do in the game right now. I would recommend at least waiting for the next update to come out, because it'll add a significant amount of content and also a more optimized netcode that should increase performance for everyone. Thanks for the responses guys! I'm getting the pc soon regardless of when the game releases. Just really wanted to get an insight on whether or not it would be able to run the game. I will pick up the game once it releases, it really looks awesome. Its great news to know that I have little to no risk of playing on a serious work computer. Just the thought of someone being able to log into my brokers account, well, that could be disastrous. Thanks again OysterBarron and Richard Power Colt.

Candy_Licker 402 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 You want to go with Nvidia 730's? That's a really bad choice. The 730 is wayyy to weak for gaming, and running 2 of them won't change that. I'd advise against dual GPU's in general, put your money on one, potent GPU. GPU is most important for gaming, your memory and CPU is really overkill and will be bottelnecked by your weak GPU's. 16gb Ram is more than enough at the moment, and you could run with a weaker CPU to put the money into a competent graphics card. If you want to go with Nvidia, I think you should atleast get the 60's models (760, 960 etc) or higher. Although an earlier generation, a 690 will be way more powerful than a 730 for example. Generally, I would recommend a card with atleast 4gb VRam to be somewhat future proof. If you can afford it, invest into a 70 model (the 1070 would be the newest) or go with a good AMD card (I'm no expert on them), good GPU's are pricey but a prerequisite for playing new games. sebcreed and Richard Power Colt 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Yeah dual GPU isn't good for gaming right now. SLI doesn't work properly with a lot of games. A GTX 970 or higher is probably a pretty good bet if you wanna run games like SC although SC is still so far from being finished that it's hard to say what the actual spec requirements for the finished game will be.

sebcreed 1,522 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Alright Candy Licker and Richard got you, that setup is NOT good for gaming. That spec is the recommended for the type of work I do I guess, like I said, I don't really know what it all means lol. Two cards is probably for the multi monitor setup? Anyways when the game comes out I'll probably take the disc to a computer shop and tell them to call me back when they have a gaming rig that works haha! Thanks for the responses and maybe we'll see each other online upon release! Happy Holidays! Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 3.0 production schedule was just released: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/schedule-report Definitely gonna be a huge update. Right now the target date for release is 29th of June, but it's probably gonna be delayed a month or two at least. I just hope it'll be out sometime this year. Link to post Share on other sites
deadx23 8,024 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) So quite a bit of stuff going on,on star citizen.release date for 3.0 got delayed to July 20 so far (it's looking awesome) so im just going to post about a ship for now. For subscribers we get to test out one ship every month for this month is the caterpillar There are multiple rooms This one controls a tractor beam View to the front A place to eat And poop with a shower over head in case it gets messy Here's a server room Engineering room Made my way to the cockpit, it's on the side so it's weird to pilot it There are 4 of these cargo rooms You can open the doors on both sides With a loading dock type room There are 2 manned turrets for your friends or hired npc but one is interesting you turn upside down See you in the verse I didn't like piloting this ship its big,slow and hard to see.

OysterBarron 1,834 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It's quite cool seeing it in-game after watching some of the developer doing code for it and modelling a while back! deadx23 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Quite a lot of eye candy in the latest episode of ATV: The moons are looking quite impressive though I hope they can fix some of the pop in/pop out. The "Evocati" testing for 3.0 is scheduled to start from today until like july 20th or so. Probably not gonna start today, but hopefully next week. Really cool to see this game coming together though we're still probably years away from a final release. Edited July 7, 2017 by Richard Power Colt Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Star Citizen gamescom presentation: Haven't watched the entire thing yet, but I gotta say the game looks breathtaking. The kind of visual fidelity they are able to deliver in such a huge game is pretty impressive. Word of warning btw, the players are doing the cringey roleplay thing and the game crashes at one point so they have to restart the demo. Link to post Share on other sites
deadx23 8,024 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I watched the whole thing lol loved the face tracking tech, using a regular webcam amazing [YouTube] [/YouTube] the capital ship looks awesome looking forward to earn it haha. I seen the streams they've been playing on 3.0 (restricted to Delmar ) for gamescom just awesome all around the visuals, atmosphere, vehicles, and atmospheric flight can't wait for 3.0 . currently their are 66 bugs to fix for an evocati (special hand picked public tester) release after that about 2 weeks a subscribers release (from past experiences) then backer's release. They fixed about 20 bugs introducing 3 bugs this past week. Love the new Arora update looks much better than before.its an important ship because it's a starter ship which everyone will mostly choose I personally like it better than the mustang I have the LN version. [YouTube] [/YouTube]If I had to guess 3.0 won't go live for about a month and a half from now but I think it's worth the wait. Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 f*cking finally we're getting there. It's hilarious to think how Chris originally said it would come out last year. I'm not really upset, I do get that game development especially with a project like this is unpredictable, but man I've been wanting to get my hands on this for so long.

Richard Power Colt 3,066 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Idk if I understood it correctly, but are they seriously suggesting that they'll have procedural interiors for every building on a planet entirely filled by city?

deadx23 8,024 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 ^^ it sure sounded like it, with roads connecting to each other (depending on the artist) just amazing although this will come on 3.1 I loved what Chris Roberts said that he knows it's been "a long content drought" but they accomplished the "bare bones" (3.0) as he put it and now they could start making the universe.that translates to faster updates. just shows all the hard work is paying off, I've been looking for that road map to see what things have moved around. Just took some screenshots from the videos Planet side Current progress for 3.0 16 must fix "bugs" to fix (it can go up if/when they find more bugs) Hopefully the next phase is inviting everyone to the ptu for server test Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBurnsRed 1,863 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 3.0 will be when I reinstall it, especially since it'll come with the delta patcher. That means no more 30GB+ updates and a lot more frequent smaller updates. deadx23 1 Link to post Share on other sites
