WEBVTT 00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.040 A global leader in tech recruiting is celebrating geek pride by giving away 10 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:19.039 amazing tech prizes. For more info, visit the modus Facebook page or 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.880 modus.com. It's finally here. DFM, dog 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.800 fighting module, arena commander, star citizen, fighter, whatever you want to 00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:29.359 call it, it has finally released and we have decided in our insanity to test it. 00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.040 Just to remind you guys, this is a pre-alpha release. A pre-alpha release 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.360 that is like we're lucky it's not setting their server room on fire. I 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.960 spent the majority of my time testing this game just trying to get it to 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.120 launch because that was extremely difficult. And if those are things that 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:47.760 are going to annoy you, don't bother because it's going to happen. There's 00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:53.360 going to be problems running this game. It's going to be difficult. It is a pre-alpha. All of that being said, we 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.039 wanted to test this game because we see this question all the time. Can I run 00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:00.800 Star? And a lot of people look at this game as it's extremely hard to run and 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:04.879 all that kind of stuff. And yes, that's true. It's not easy to run, but in its 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.479 current form, without any extensive graphics options and without any of the 00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:13.360 ludicrous things that we're expecting them to do with the graphics in the future, it's not actually that bad. 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.080 We'll get more into that in a second. So, you'll be able to see with this video a rough estimate of how well 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.000 you'll be able to run this game with these graphics cards. But in the future, 00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:26.320 this may not apply. with the release of alpha or beta or even the full game, 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.360 these numbers will be very different and we'll probably update you along the way, 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.799 although we'll ask for feedback for you guys from that point. I was kind of surprised to see the results that I got 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.479 while running at 1080p due to expecting this game to be a lot harder to run than 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840 it actually was. The only results that kind of surprised me a little bit were 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.040 the AMD ones. Although before the AMD guys run down into the comments and 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.360 start freaking out, don't worry guys. The second we jump up to 1440p, the 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.520 story kind of changes a little bit and we see that trend we've been seeing lately where AMD cards are running very 00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:00.079 well at higher resolutions in comparison to its competitors cards, which is kind 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.439 of interesting actually. And I'm expecting if we win even higher in the 00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:08.800 resolution, we'd see this trend start to scale out even more. I don't necessarily 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.120 expect NVIDIA or AMD to be rushing out 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.239 driver improvements to tune themselves to this game. It's a pre-alpha. That 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.400 wouldn't really make a lot of sense. So, don't expect any help in that aspect. 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.280 That being said, who knows what Robert Space Industries might do. They could 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:27.120 release a patch that makes it harder to run. They could release a patch that makes it easier to run. Who knows? It's 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.400 a pre-alpha. We will have to see. Although, as of right now, it's not that 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:35.599 ridiculously hard to run. It's not an easy game to run by any stretch of the 00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.560 imagination, but I actually kind of expected it was going to be harder to run than it is. So, that's actually kind 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.040 of a relief. It looks absolutely beautiful and it's feasible to run on a 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.560 fairly high-end system, which is actually pretty cool. Upon launching 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.000 into the hanger module, all you need to do is pick a ship. Personally, I'm going to go with my Super Hornet because it's 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.239 a freaking Super Hornet, so I don't really know why you'd pick anything else 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:03.519 currently in the dog fighting module. It looks amazing. Uh fairly recently 00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:06.959 they've updated some of the animations uh that that go along with getting in 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:14.000 the ships and stuff. So this is pretty cool. I'm going to show you guys this part just before we're able to select 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.000 what module we actually want to 00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:29.519 run. All right. Looks great. Sounds great. That's all good. That loads up 00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:34.239 the arena commander thingamajiggy. You can't do spectrum match yet. So, we're 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.360 going to do drone sim. And then we could 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:38.959 try the van duel uh swarm, but I don't 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.599 necessarily recommend doing it if you're going to benchmark because it is quite 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.599 random. So, we're just going to do freef flight. 00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:49.920 Once we launch in here, this is the ideal starting position. Sometimes it'll 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:54.159 start you looking a little bit further down, but you see this animation which really screws with your frame rate. So, 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.360 try to make sure you're facing about this position. 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.319 and then kind of just look up and I target out of one specific massive 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:07.200 asteroid first and then I kind of just fly in 00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:12.879 this direction and shoot at it every once in a while. Once I get really 00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:15.160 close, I will turn to the right until I 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:20.079 see another big cluster of asteroids and then fly towards a large asteroid within 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.800 that cluster. And then I just continue doing this until my 2-minute benchmark 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:31.280 is done. And I'm not going to bother to show you guys the rest of it because it is kind of very dumb. 00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:32.960 So, um, is it launching now? No. No. You 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:36.919 know what's funny is how many hundreds of dollars that we've spent on this 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:42.199 game. Yeah. Yes. friends, for less than the 00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:47.600 amount that some of us have spent on digital crap for a game 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:53.040 that isn't even close to release yet.

Guys, 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:55.680 like this video about Star Citizen performance, pre-alpha Star Citizen 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:58.160 performance in one particular module and a couple of games and a couple 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.680 resolutions. Anyway, that's the whole point. Dislike it if you thought it 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.199 sucked. Give it a share if you think other people need to know about this 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.880 exciting new game so that they can all throw all of their money at it the way 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.720 that we did. Leave a comment and let us know what you'd like to see in terms of 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:16.240 Star Citizen benchmarks from us moving forward or if you'd like us to just shut 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:20.319 up and stop talking about it.
