The Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 73 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 74 FPS with everything on High.

💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 73 FPS, at 1440p about 68 FPS, and at 4K roughly 56 FPS with optimized settings. Star Citizen doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
