Back in the days when Star Citizen was just kickstarted (without all that RSI additional crowd funding BS), according to Chris Roberts himself you'd need at least two GTX 480s, at least 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3, and at least an i7 2600K, to run it absolutely smoothly in 2560x1440 with constant 60 FPS.
Times have changed drastically since then, so...predict in this thread what combination of hardware (video + speed/type/amount of RAM + processor) you would need to run this thing smoothly within at least 60 FPS while maxed out in 2560x1440 (as a bonus - maybe also 4K) when it finally goes 100% gold.
I think that RyZen 1700X/Threadripper 1920 will be already enough on the processor side, but regarding video - there's simply no such card out there yet. As for RAM - I honestly assume that 16GB of single-ranked DDR4 with speeds of 3200MHz will be more than enough. But again, that's all maxed out in at least 2560x1440 and when it's in the full complete state.
P.S. Usage of Vulkan is highly assumed.
