How much fps could I run star citizen with this rig? Plus what do you guys think of the spec? Do they make sense?

[Ekans2011]

I’ll attach the configuration link if you guys could have a look at the motherboards and suggest which is best I would appreciate it alot(you don’t have to). My budget is 2800. The rig is for gaming. I’ll edit it in a second.

This is what I'd go today for a 1440p gaming PC. If you already own a Windows license you can transfer it and save some.

This is amazing, thank you so much. I reconfigured it slightly to a 4080S. It still runs cheaper than my current order. I wish I’d known about this earlier as I’ve paid through finance.

You're welcome, a 4080 Super may be really overkill for your current QHD/1440p monitor but it's your money.

I’m starting 4K gaming soon hopefully so should be good.

Yes, with a 4K you'll definitely need it.

EDIT: For the record, I had a good test run in Area 18 a few hours ago with RAM usage ranging from 23 to 26GB.
The demands have risen slightly from older versions, when max use was 20-23GB, however I'm hoping the devs will optimize soon or later.

Alot of people are saying it’s not until 4-5 years later that they will fully release the game. However I hope they optimise much sooner.

Area 18 was my pick aswell 👍

We all hope so, but considering the ethernal development, I believe it's missing a 'if' before 'they will release the game'

Personally, I'm looking forward to Squadron 42 more than the full release of PU.

In any case, running Star Citizen on my Ionico is not an option; I'll have to redo a desktop sooner or later.

I think we'll discover a way to enable near light speed travel before Star Citizen comes out of Alpha - and it will probably cost less to do so
