I have analyzed Star Citizen’s performance in great detail and it is indeed a demanding game. Object details are much higher compared to other games while at the same time rendering massive space ships and entire planets further adds to the load. There are several techniques that CIG uses to address these issues. Object Container Streaming (OCS) both on the …
Star Citizen Performance Guide and Optimal Settings (2024)
Star Citizen is one of the most visually stunning experiences out there. From the frigid biomes of Microtech to the pollution ravaged savannas of Hurston, and from the detailed carvings of the Banu ships to the massive kilometer-long Bengal carriers, its a masterpiece in graphical fidelity. But this fidelity comes at a cost.The no-compromise approach of Star Citizen appeals to …
Star Citizen 2024 Review – Is it worth buying?
Even the game’s harshest critics would agree that Star Citizen is one of the most ambitious gaming projects ever undertaken.

Star Citizen – Best Joysticks, HOTAS, Controllers (2024)
To fully enjoy the BDSSE (Best Damn Space Sim Ever), you need the best damn controllers ever.

Best Graphics Card for Star Citizen (2024)
Star Citizen is a very demanding game. It’s supposed to be visual masterpiece (a space opera if you will) and so far, it’s been living up to that at least in the graphics department.

Star Citizen VR setup Guide (Alpha 3.18, 2024)
Star Citizen does not have official VR support currently. However, Chris Roberts has said that VR support will eventually come.
