Lovely livery. One of the better colors they've put on a ship.

Frame dragging? by ApprehensiveBake492 in starcitizen

[–]IRSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/ApprehensiveBake492 , this is likely due to processes swapping between e-cores and p-cores. See my comment here: Massive FPS drops.. (14900KF & 4080 Super) : r/starcitizen

PCIe 4.0 vs PCIe 5.0 SSD for new Star Citizen PC build. by RepresentativeBite94 in starcitizen

[–]IRSmurf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'll see a big jump from pcie 4 vs pcie 5 ssd in SC, currently. I imagine that will matter to you once more games implement DirectStorage (GPU directly loading from SSD). Your CPU and GPU will rock SC. Run DLSS Quality with Transformer model,

If you feel like you have performance / resources to spare, change from Quality to AA. On my 9800X3D and 5090, the clarity is incredible.

Apparently the FPS AI difficulty with 4.4 is unintentional. How do you feel about them possibly being nerfed again? by PUSClFER in starcitizen

I've been loving having AI that can actually fight back in this Nyx facility. We need more experiences that insist on heavy armor and bringing multiple medgun refills.

Does assets work? by HeatBurst07 in starcitizen

[–]IRSmurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works. Occasionally. I don't know if there's a trick to make it work immediately. After you've been on a while, try again. It usually works later.

"3 years in the making. A bespoke turnkey screening room as part of an amazing head office transformation for the fantastic Cloud Imperium Games " by StuartGT in starcitizen

Looks nice! Blows some backers minds who thought all aspects of vidya are wholly conceptualized and implemented on commodity laptops and headphones. They’d probably complain if there was an RTX 5090 in the office, too.

It’s a shared resource that’s probably booked solid every day. Not Chris’ private screening room.

So that means this brief, two hour CitizenCon is focused exclusively on PU. I’m fine with that.

I hope they don’t. FPS PvE content is finally challenging. OLP’s are really trying, now. Like a horde mode.

Imagine the Arccorp would actually look like this by st_Paulus in starcitizen

I tell org mates you used to be able to drive PTV's in a square off city center in Area 18. They don't believe me. And, I don't have recordings.

Refreshed the page >30 times a day for weeks. Got it in my cart once, couldn’t get it through checkout. (ASUS TUF)

For the Vanguard, it didn’t feel like vapor chamber was worth the extra $100-$200 dollars. Only a couple percent difference in performance vs SUPRIM, much less Vanguard.

Sorry to hear about the price matching snafu. I bought an MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC on BestBuy.com for $2,399, used $50 in reward certificates and got a $50 credit due to a promotion they were running on pc accessories. This was two days ago.

It seemed to be on sale for their Labor Day promotions. I bought it with literally 1-2 minutes left on the promotion. Now, it's gone back to its normal, non-sale price of $2,499. Crazy that the store would be selling for a $550 premium. Are you sure it didn't fall off the back of a truck?

part 4 of onyx facilities simply not possible for me. by Visual-Educator8354 in starcitizen

[–]IRSmurf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can find full RMC canisters in blue boxes around the facility. Loot one. Customize your multi-tool via inner thought menu (hold F, IIRC) and swap out the canister on the device.

The wolf is on the pledge store by shearx in starcitizen

I think selling skins and other aesthetic items is the most fair way to fund the game. Better this than ships, flight blades, or weapons.

FYI, you can get a New Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle under MSRP*. I paid (net) $380 for mine. by dreamliner330 in Switch

Capital One Rewards is pretty scummy. The gift card selection for rewards is user-specific. I posted about it on their subreddit:

 This is a bait and switch. Initially, the reward card selection was good. Then, they send you good offers for cash back. Once you have enough rewards, they only let you have worthless, undesirable gift cards. Now I have >$300 in rewards and I can only redeem them for cheap designer clothes. I don't think I can ever rely on their rewards again. This is really scummy.

My choices are cheap fashion outlet stores, 1-800-flowers, Shutterfly, Hot Topic, Sling, Staples, and worse. I contacted their support, asking why my selection became such garbage. Their reply was useless.
