Can the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super run Star Citizen? (2026)

✅ Yes

~63 FPS at 4K with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super 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 63 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 47 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	131	131
1440p	83	82
4K	47	63

💡 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.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 82 FPS, and at 4K roughly 63 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Star Citizen. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
