So I used quite a bit a time optimizing SC for my rig, and AMD quad core, 3.6GHz, 8.00GB with a Nvidia 580GTX.

So here's my user.cfg. It also runs okay in full HD but the 1600x900 just gives a bit a extra performance. At least for me that does a lot while gaming.

sys_spec_particles = 1
sys_spec_shading = 1
sys_spec_shadows = 1
sys_spec_postprocessing = 1
sys_spec_texture = 1
sys_spec_volumetriceffects = 1
sys_MaxFps = 60
Con_Restricted = 0
r_Gamma = 1.5
r_TexMinAnisotropy = 2
r_TexMaxAnisotropy = 2
e_ShadowsMaxTexRes = 512
r_MotionBlur = 0
r_ColorGrading = 0
r_FogShadows = 0
r_VSync = 0
i_Mouse_Accel = 0.0
i_Mouse_Smooth = 0.0
r_ChromaticAbberation = 0
r_sharpening = 0
r_HDRGrainAmount = 0
cl_fov = 80
r_DepthOfField = 0
g_radialBlur = 0
hud_bobHud = 0
r_SSAO = 0
r_ssdo = 0
r_SSReflections = 0
r_HDRBrightLevel = 0
e_ParticlesShadows = 0
e_GI = 1
r_SSReflections = 0
r_FogShadows = 0
e_ParticlesForceSoftParticles = 0
e_ParticlesObjectCollisions = 0
e_ParticlesShadows = 0
r_width = 1600
r_height = 900
r_FullscreenWindow = 0

Do these user.cfg changes work when game is updated to new versions? Or do you need all new ones?
Beerjerker is only mildly compooter literate...

This old thread got a like so I thought I'd necro it up for a bit of an update.
Boredgamer https://www.youtube.com/user/BoredGamerUK (who may be a TESTie under a different name, I'm not sure...), he put out a guide to user cfg's: http://www.boredgamer.co.uk/2018/03/20/user-cfg-3-1-guide/
As someone who is not all that familiar with compooter wizerdry, I found this really helpful. And with tweaking his suggestions here and there, I'm running Star Citizen at acceptable quality on a laptop with a GTX870M.

Hope someone finds this helpful, and if Bored stumbles upon this, thanks a bunch!
