The NVIDIA RTX 4070 is a strong 1440p card with 12GB 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 62 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 62 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 104 | 103 |
| 1440p | 62 | 62 |
| 4K | 35 | 63 |
At 1080p expect around 103 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 63 FPS with optimized settings. Star Citizen doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
