Well-optimized titles like Stellar Blade are a rare find in 2025. That said, the game utilizes Unreal Engine 4 and relies on pure rasterization techniques, yet it still looks fantastic. 1080p is the go-to resolution for many, and the game’s hack-and-slash nature attracts a significant player base.

Gamers using cards such as GTX 1660, RTX 3050, RTX 2060, GTX 1070, will find the settings below helpful for them. Thanks to the optimized nature of the game, the performance and the image quality will be phenomenal.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • 6GB VRAM GPU users, such as those with 1060, 1660, or 2060, if the game stutters, try lowering the texture and shadow settings.
  • If you’re experiencing issues with 4GB VRAM GPUs, such as the 1050 Ti, consider lowering volumetric fog and clutter density, as well as adjusting textures and shadows.
  • Using FSR helps on most Pascal and Turing GPUs.
  • Use RTSS to check your VRAM usage, and enable frame generation only if you have significant headroom.
  • DLSS 4 Upscaling (on supported GPUs, such as the RTX 2060) can help mitigate temporal issues and shimmering, and make the game look even better.
