In November 2025, I bought the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition—I had to save up for it for 1.5 years! I’m a passionate gamer who wants to play high-quality games, including Star Citizen! In February 2026, during an EPTU build, my two connected monitors shut down! I can’t remember exactly which one it was—sorry about that! I thought to myself, “Whoops! These things happen! Maybe a driver issue.” At that point, I hadn't made the connection to Star Citizen at all! I just thought it was a graphics card malfunction! These things happen. And no, it wasn't a burnt-out power plug or anything like that! Still, I was immediately suspicious about what was causing it. I updated the drivers, but there was no improvement; other games started causing the same issue from that point on! I reinstalled the system! The same issue persisted in all games. I contacted the retailer! After 5 weeks, the graphics card finally arrived at the retailer, who sent it on for repair! That took another 3–4 weeks. I finally got the graphics card back at the end of March! However, I wasn’t told exactly what was defective or what was repaired! 4/24/26 “Alpha 4.8 PTU 11689568” Same thing again! Monitors (two of them! 1x 4K, 1x 2K Ultra Wide) are turning off again! Started various games, same result! I immediately contacted the retailer again! I’m hoping for a faster resolution—and that it gets resolved at all! And now the icing on the cake: Alpha 4.7 was completely unplayable due to a missing “Home Location” inventory! The support ticket I created was closed with a standard response after I was asked to explain one more detail. I’m feeling a little pissed off! I’m allowed to feel that way, right, after investing thousands of euros (which I’m starting to regret a little bit now)? What am I supposed to do now? Am I not allowed to play Star Citizen anymore because it’s going to ruin my graphics card? I’m sorry if I’m writing this in a somewhat emotional and candid way. I’m just a gamer, not a dev, not an engineer who can explain where this is coming from or pinpoint the cause. And no, I’m not going to launch Star Citizen again to scan a QR code or anything like that! Disappointed regards Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
