Best Star Citizen settings for the AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) (2026)

On a AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Star Citizen runs at roughly 37 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 17FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD Radeon 760M (iGPU) is a handheld graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 37 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 17 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 37 FPS at 1080p and 23 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 13 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Star Citizen at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Star Citizen: Famously CPU- and server-bound - a fast CPU and 32GB RAM matter more than your GPU; Volumetric Clouds is the heaviest graphics setting.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Star Citizen offers FSR upscaling. It helps the GPU side, but the game is famously CPU- and server-bound — a faster CPU and 32GB+ RAM matter most.
Planet Volumetric CloudsLow+14% FPS
Volumetric clouds and gas clouds — one of the heaviest GPU settings. High is a strong step down from Very High.
Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks close to Very High while running faster.
Object Container QualityLow+9% FPS
How far detailed objects and ships render — partly a CPU cost in busy cities like Area18. High is fine; lower if cities chug.
Effects / ParticlesLow+7% FPS
Explosions and engine effects. High is plenty.
Texture QualityVery High-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — VRAM-hungry; on 8GB cards keep it at High and pair with 32GB system RAM.
