Star Citizen scaling options?

[VelxraTV]

Hello, I want to see what LS can to help with FPS in star citizen. It is a CPU intensive game. I picked up a 4090 and the gpu usage is only 40% in SC. My resolution is 5120x1400 native ultra wide.

What options in LS be would best for FPS or Quality using a nvidia card? Im not quite sure what lower resolution to upscale from.

EDIT: also NIS is missing from my nvidia control panel. So Im hoping LS is a good alternative.

LS can help increase the performance of a game if it is limited by GPU, so you lower the resolution of the game, get more fps and then scale. When the game is CPU limited you won't get the performance boost. However, given that you have such large reserves of GPU power, you can do a super resolution, using a scale factor of 1 LS1 or Anime4k will raise the resolution and then downscale it to your native. Or use the driver feature like DSR.

With these specs you should be able to pull 1.78x DLDSR and get amazing visuals. (this won't bosst the framerate and would even lower it but it will help to utilize more of the GPU power; if CPU limited, you might wanna think about an upgrade)

Hmm I must be missing something. I set LS to use Anime4k as a start and to upscale. But only LS itself goes into full screen and not the game.

Activate (focus) game window, then scale.

Star Citizen performance cannot be saved by any type of software. You do realize that you have problems running a tech demo that uses a 10 year old graphic engine while your rig has a 4090 right?
Cryengine, Lumberjack and Star (lol) engine are one and the same.
Refund or sale to gray market and save your mental and brain status.

All the rendering parts of CryEngine are gone. It has been replaced with CIG's in-house Gen12 renderer. The performance issues left with SC are mainly in the main thread, not the render thread which is why it's CPU intensive. SC has increased in performance greatly over the last few years and they are still making gains. The only place I get mediocre performance is flying over cities, which is understandable given how big and detailed they are. There is much more optimization in the pipeline. $500mil is pretty impressive for a 10 year old tech demo, don't you think?

In my humble opinion and also many other people opinion both in reddit and gaming sites this pre alpha , alpha or game (terms are changing depending what CIG wants to sell or defend) its a train wreck and borderline a scam.

i follow this social experiment for many years since i never liked games like these but remembered Roberts from Wing Commander and his B movie which made me laugh. So when i was seeing the gradual fund raises i was just interested in the story behind.
Strictly by observing the facts and since i can say that since this game after 10 years is at this level right now most likely we will have two outcomes
1. It will be never finished.
2. Roberts will just deliver a minimum quality level product which will be nowhere close to the kickstarter and promises made these years , in order to avoid legal problems.

Since iam a 40 year old gamer and i suppose you are of a certain age as well since big % of the SC crowd is like that (if not iam sorry assuming) i know that Roberts has only done some coding for Wing Commander which was more like a FMV space oper than a game. His most recent title was Freelancer in which Roberts Digital Anvil was bought out from Microsoft and Roberts was removed since like now his management was horrendous.

No, iam not impressed at all or in fact iam impressed with how far sunken cost fallacy can go and how much people can deny pure facts and red flags but i guess this state of mind is a part that contributed to the gaming scene becoming so bad these days in general.
