I'm curious to know about the hardware setup required to run Star Citizen in full HD on max details.asked by 10
TL;DRRoberts can't give a definitive spec this early, but aims for today's very high-end hardware to be mid-level at release, running max details at 1080p, with 4K needing newer top cards or two in SLI.
So that's a really good question. It's hard to definitively say that now because we're still early in the development process and new hardware comes out every year. So generally, we've been aiming that the very high end of hardware now is kind of what we think the sort of mid-level will be by the time the game is fully finished. So that would have been a GTX 680 or now a 780 on the Nvidia side, or on the AMD side a 7970 or now the R9 290X. And you should be able to easily run the game in the highest of details in 1080p. If you want to move to 4K, you'll probably need the very high-end cards that will be available next year to run smoothly in 4K, or maybe current-day high-level to mid-high-level cards, but two of them in SLI. And the engine scales really well, so it will take whatever you can give it in whatever resolution you can give it, but you can also scale it down and it still looks pretty good. So if you don't have quite that high-end hardware, it'll still be a pretty good experience. So I hope that answers the question.
