PC System Analysis for Star Citizen
Star Citizen is still in development but is currently one of the most demanding games on PC. Running on the high-end CryTek engine, Star Citizen's system requirements are very high. The sky is the limit here, so the better the graphics card and CPU you can throw at Star Citizen, the nicer it will look and the better the performance will be.The system requirements for Star Citizen are in a constant state of flux as development progresses. The latest high-end GeForce GTX 1000 Series or AMD's Radeon Fury graphics cards are needed to get Star Citizen looking its finest.
Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious space combat sim in which the plan is you can go anywhere, do anything, and be anyone. Pilot spaceships, farm for resources, race, even board a ship for first-person shooter action.
