The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super is a high-end 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 i9-12900F-class CPU it averages about 69 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 70 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 117 | 115 |
| 1440p | 70 | 69 |
| 4K | 40 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 115 FPS, at 1440p about 69 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Star Citizen doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
