    I remember when Star Citizen first started being talked about I was worried I wouldn’t be able to run it on my GTX 770 lol. Both that gpu and any desire to play star citizen have been gone for years.

      I scoped my PC build in 2013 with a GTX 770 with Star Citizen in mind. Even then SC becoming a reality was a coin flip - I was (and still am) a huge fan of Freelancer so I knew what I was in for on a Chris Roberts project before I backed. Built the PC, popped $25 down on an Aurora, and figured we’d see how it played out.

      I’m still using that PC as a daily driver, granted with an upgrade to a GTX 980 and some extra ram in the time since. It’s long in the tooth and is probably going to be retired by years’ end, but I laugh a little thinking about how that computer had a whole life in the time SC has been in development.

      I did run the hangar module when it first came out, so at the very least I did get to see my ship using that machine.
