On a AMD RX 7600 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Star Citizen runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 64FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7600 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 50 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 64 | 63 |
| 1440p | 39 | 64 |
| 4K | 22 | 50 |
