The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (laptop) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 40 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 18 | 40 |
| 1440p | 11 | 24 |
| 4K | 6 | 14 |
At 1080p expect around 40 FPS, at 1440p about 24 FPS, and at 4K roughly 14 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
