The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end card with 16GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 65 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 66 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 109 | 108 |
| 1440p | 66 | 65 |
| 4K | 37 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 108 FPS, at 1440p about 65 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Star Citizen. Star Citizen doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
