The AMD RX 9070 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 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 49 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 131 |
| 1440p | 87 | 86 |
| 4K | 49 | 65 |
At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 86 FPS, and at 4K roughly 65 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Star Citizen. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
