How to BOOST Your FPS in STAR CITIZEN 3.23+

IMPORTANT TIP‼⬇ 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.‼

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

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😂

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

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!

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.

Thanks man I got about 10 to 15 fps extra🔥

@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.

Thanks for the tips mate, they worked great for getting some of the hitching I was getting and the game still looks good. 👍

Works great for me on a 4 years old gaming laptop after tuning as per your video. Good job.

Great tips and subbed

I was extremely sceptical, but damn, you delivered. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this, you got my sub <3

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.

Dang this was a lot, good video!

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.

some few good tips i will try on. could not notice your pending windows updates notification in system settings, in light of your advice to have them done :)

A big Problem are the Server too. Often you have almost dying server where you get way less fps than you could have.

Strangely enough, I received a 10-15 fps boost switching clouds to photo mode.

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.
