Most people know that Star Citizen‘s performance is not yet optimal, which is why it makes sense to display your own FPS. We will show you the FPS command in Star Citizen, which displays all important display information.
What it’s about: You don’t need any additional software to see the FPS in Star Citizen. With a simple console command, you can view all relevant display information in real time. This way you always know exactly how many FPS you have while playing.

You can Display the FPS with this Command
Star Citizen does get regular performance updates, but the focus is still on new core features for the game. To check what your current FPS count is, you simply need to follow these steps:
- Open the console with the “~” key (key above Tab on QWERTY keyboards).
- Hint: On QWERTZ keyboards, it is the “^” key.
- Enter the command “r_displayinfo 1” there.
- Hint: If you want to remove the display, use the command “r_displayinfo 0”.
- Confirm with Enter.
This will show you some information in the upper right corner. Besides the FPS, you will also see information about your RAM usage or latency. If your FPS is between 30 and 60, you should have a reasonably smooth gaming experience. The higher the FPS, the smoother the game runs.
Note, however, depending on where you are in the verse, the stats will be different. For example, in a larger capital city, like Lorville, with many players or NPCs, the stats are lower than in open space.
Tip: If your FPS is very low, it can also help to set the quality to “Low”. The game will still look good, but you will save a few important frames.
