Here are the best settings to dial in for Dragon Age: The Veilguard for your RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti GPUs.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard presents a beautiful open world to gamers. Built with Ray Tracing in mind, this game requires serious hardware capabilities to run at eye-candy settings. The RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are still relevant today; the only gripe is their VRAM, but their performance in the legacy midrange segment is unmistakable. Here are the settings, which depend on multiple CPUs due to the game’s CPU-demanding nature and are optimized for a smoother experience.
Best Settings for RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti in Dragon Age: The Veilguard (1440p and 4k Optimized)
A few keynotes to consider:
- Watch for VRAM leaks that degrade performance over time.
- Save and restart the game if FPS drops after extended play due to VRAM leakage.
- Expect a hit in frame rates in Arlathan Forest regardless of settings.
- Treat Arlathan as a stress test zone for both CPU and GPU, and make observations for further tuning.
- Note that both GPUs have 8GB VRAM, which limits 4K and Ultra texture usage.
- Monitor VRAM usage during gameplay to avoid sudden hitches.
- Check GPU usage; if it drops below 80%, you’re likely CPU-bound.
- Lower settings tied to NPCs, like Terrain Decoration Quality, on older CPUs.
- Use “Selective” ray tracing to balance visuals without heavy performance loss.
- Avoid full ray tracing unless on high-end CPUs and high VRAM cards.
- Swap in the DLSS 4 Transformer model for the best image quality.
- 60 FPS is mentioned as a reference to cap your frame rate; you are free to customize and use RTGSS.
