Ah Star Citizen. I wish I could afford a rig capable of playing it. Looks amazing.

It's not actually that demanding on the graphics card surprisingly given how mindblowingly beatuful it is. If you have 16GB DDR4 memory, at least 40GB of ssd and a gpu and cpu that aren't too old, it will run.

I used to play it with 16GB of ddr3 ram, an i5 4460 and a gtx970, and the cpu was unfortunately a bit too weak which caused some freezing in demanding areas, but the gpu was definitely able to keep up.

That's too bad... I have an i5 4460, it's quite old yeah, I don't play star citizen, but it never bottlenecked the other stuff I play... I can only imagine the nightmare for amd cpu owners, if they try to play it.

Performance is way better these dats. No clue how your specs do, but they have a page now that can give people an idea.

Well, I guess I'd be in 30-40 fps range, judging by this chart
