The NVIDIA RTX 3070 is a strong 1440p card with 8GB of VRAM, and Star Citizen is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 76 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 93 | 92 |
| 1440p | 56 | 76 |
| 4K | 32 | 64 |
At 1080p expect around 92 FPS, at 1440p about 76 FPS, and at 4K roughly 64 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
