I am enjoying my little sessions but I'm not going to let it take over my life. Don't have the will to do that for any game these days.
Edit. Not suggesting this of anyone here but I've found in the past that I get encouraged to play with others, and then find out they take it too seriously and it takes all the fun out of it for me.
Happened with Rust and a few others. I don't see why you'd think it's fun for new person to just get told everything by the people who are really into it and then there is nothing for them to discover by themselves. When I jump in with you lot it will be my first 'social' gaming for years

I dabble with it about every 2-3 years but wouldnt mind getting a little into it now. I'll really be in my element when component modules are introduced though as i love the idea of managing systems and fixing stuff while we're flying or being a turret gunnerI am enjoying my little sessions but I'm not going to let it take over my life.

I am harmless in voice chat. but in game? Ask @Uncle Petey and @humbug
I find it weird playing with forum people because like in the capacity of forum I kind of forget there's a real person behind the keyboard and then when you speak to them suddenly it's like, Oh yeah, this is a real human.
GPU is weird in game. The utilisation was flickering between about 60 and 80% and yet it was absolutely belting out heat and drawing nearly 450 watts lol.

ha yea. i have even met a couple of ocuk members here face to face and later become good good mates.
TBH i never used much voice chat in games pre pandemic but ever since the pandemic when i fully started to play SC, i used voice chat quite a bit.
Volumeric clouds - off (medium if you feel the need) it eats up GPU resources for little benefit.
motion blur, vsync, chromatic abberation, film grain all off or at zero.
Oddly detail wise you tend to be better leaving this at high/very high otherwise it loads it onto the CPU.
Play around your system may cope better with some settings than others. I honestly can't tell the difference when I disable some of this in game though!

Performance wise, Noxia should be fine with clouds turned up, since they're a GPU resource hog and he's on a 4090.
His electric bil on the other hand...

Points taken on the settings, to be fair I,ve just left them on default except for taking motion blur completely of and CA and film grain Which are all instant offs in any game I play.
I do prefer to play at my native res of 4K, but I'm happy to reduce a few settings to see what difference it makes because ultimately this is an alpha so have to compromise a bit due to the optimisation.
I will probably play more when my joysticks arrive. It's a big part of the game for me, but I'm learning bits just with my little sessions on my own which is cool except for how to get rid of that bloody coffee out of my hand lol.

U say that but the 4090 is apparently very efficient!
Just turning the Volumetric Clouds down from Very High to High doubles your frame rates, CPU dependant, there is more distant shimmering of the visuals when you do that but CIG have acknowledged that with a promise to fix it, and they have, the cloud tech in the test patch is very much better, that distant shimmering is almost gone.
Have not properly tested SC with the 4090 yet but probs will do at some point when i can get the game running properly.
The 4090 is a monster GPU even for Star Citizen, the limitation becomes the CPU, you need a 7800X3D or a 14900K with the E-Cores off to get the most out of the GPU, even then these the fastest CPU's on earth right now might not be enough.
But the frame rates should be decent, even with a 7700X still pretty good but you do need something like that at least, my 5800X is a fast gaming CPU, faster than the 10900K ever was but with a good powerful GPU i think it would struggle.

I tried the temp fix where you can put in a command line to only run the P cores on my 12700k when you launch the game but it doesn't seem to work anymore, i can see it loads all the cores and the game tanks between 70 fps to 30 fps lol.
Might turn off e cores and try it again at some point.
Im not changing FOR SC but I will be getting the next 3D CPU at least. Pretty much because the current one has been fine.
My GPU is hitting 2920mhz comfortably and with a mem boost but I'm not really a big overclocker and actually run it at 80% power limit 90% of the time.

Same running mine just shy over 2800mhz and a +1500 on the mem drawing anywhere between 260-280w is awesome for this card. If i overclock i can get around 3045mhz on the core but that will draw around 410w or more for an extra 5-6 fps... its not worth it.
Yeah turn them off in the BIOS.
Intel have been to CIG and they failed to fix this, its just not built to use "up to 8 threads" Script or not if the game can see them it will use them, the game is programmed to use up to 64 threads and it always wants more if they are there so the only way to get around it is to deny the game that they even exist.
