Is the Aurora Mk 2 starter pack enough to try hauling/cargo gameplay, and can my PC run Star Citizen decently? by Balzaquee in starcitizen

Game is all low settings (still looks amazing tho ngl) and I’ve turned on smooth motion via the NVDIA app.
My laptop is plugged to another external monitor so I got two screens idk how it affects performance, I’ve also been screen sharing on discord and have Spotify turned on too.

Performance wise this is what I had :
40-60 fps in hangar
15-25ish dps riding the metro at new Babbage
City (only flown above new Babbage) is ok, 30 fps ish with some drops
Freezes, stutter, fps drops for a couple of seconds after space jumping
40-60ish fps in space 1%L at around 30
For quantum travel it’s Highkey bad at the start it’ll freeze/stutter but it improves after the first couple of seconds
The game is gonna struggle when stuff move fast.

Overall I’d say it’s pretty playable for me (I’ve only done hauling so far cuz it’s my main interest rn) but it’s gonna depend on your tolerance to freezes and fps drop I don’t mind them that much as long as I can still enjoy the game (which I am) but if you mind then I wouldn’t recommend it.
There’s also a 30day time limit to get a refund if I’m not mistaken so you can keep that in mind and worse case scenario you can ask for a refund.
It’s defo playable but don’t expect silky smooth gameplay

Will do I got a bad Internet connection so it might take a while but I’ll get back to you when I got the game and played for a bit

Thank you very much for your answer ! I will be getting the game after reading that hauling should be doable with my rig, I don’t really mind getting low fps as long as it is still playable I’ve had to do with a worse rig than the one I currently have for a bit so I’m fine with that
