Following an imminent backlash from gamers regarding the RTX 4070’s underwhelming performance. The 4070 Super surfaced, showing a significant advantage over raw compute power compared to the standard 4070. Stellar Blade is an incredibly optimized title, and the developers have demonstrated that with proper rasterization techniques, a game can still look good, even without using real-time rendering (RT).

That said, the 4070 has enough oomph to play the game without upscaling at native 1440p with these settings, and even 4K with upscaling.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • If you want to use FG, ensure to check your VRAM usage. 12GB VRAM cards can quickly run out of VRAM. 
  • Use these settings as a starting point, and you will be good to go. Customize further as required.

Verdict

That concludes the RTX 4070 Super best settings guide for Stellar Blade. Some settings are a bit aggressively toned down; this is done because, first, the guide suggests Native AA at 1440p. The second reason is that 12GB VRAM at higher resolutions, such as 1440p and 4K, can easily be capped out. Had this GPU carried 16GB, then it would have been a different story.
