hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus net and today we're looking at a star citizen benchmark if you follow the channel you already saw my benchmark course which was effectively the marie racing cup where I flew around the circuit and sort of looked at various buildings and things like that to try and stress the GPU and this is the actual benchmark results which have been published on the website for a few days now but I wanted to get it on the YouTube channel as well so first of all this is benchmarking the point 9 22 alpha star citizens arena commander 10 just came out the other day I briefly tested it I haven't done a full test and it performs pretty similarly to the point 9 tattoo tattoo alpha so there haven't really been any major optimization changes yet there have been a lot of changes don't get me wrong they just they're not on the hardware level just yet so star citizen will be a fairly complex game graphically once it ships it is presently in such early alpha that you cannot apply this information to the game as it develops so if you're looking at this six monster when the video was published you need to look at one of our more recent benchmarks because this will no longer be relevant as for the Alpha in its current state it performs really sort of okay on medium and low settings but it doesn't do to great on very high because it has not been optimized for hardware yet and Nvidia and AMD don't have drivers yet and all these sorts of variables that come into effect and aren't are unaccounted for in an alpha of a game the GTX 980 performs at almost 60 FPS average on very high settings so it struggles a little bit and the 780 Ti is 46 780 is 42 290x is 37 so really you if you're trying to play on very high in the Alpha you need a pretty high end card I would not buy based on this data because it will change when the game is optimized and you'll be able to buy a cheaper card most likely all these things noted the game it performs much better in the arena commander dogfighting module and in the hangar module so it's it's doing the worst the worst case scenario is the Murray racing Cup which is what you're looking at here and that's why I tested it and that's just because it has more models and objects and things to load and crazy stuff like that a lot of the graphics options haven't been integrated yet like PBR is sort of still being developed and things like that so that is not accounted for in these tests on medium the GTX 980 does better it's at 71 FPS so it's very playable and the GTX 780 Ti is performing well also and so is the the 780 the 290x doesn't do so hot as for the low benchmark it's basically playable on everything except 750ti 270x but I do think it will get there at some point all this information provided it's fairly playable right now on a medium and low settings you will probably not be able to play it on very high unless you've got high-end hardware one point I would make some changes but nothing major for optimization and I'll be testing this game as it iterates every time there's a major optimization patch I will publish a benchmark that way you can check it out and see if it's doing what you needed to do for for the hardware that you have so that is all for this benchmark and I will see you all next time peace
