These are the best overall settings for Little Nightmares 3, ready to be dialed in on any of your RTX 30 Series GPUs.
Little Nightmares 3 runs wonderfully on RTX 30 Series GPUs. Even the 3050, 3060, and laptop models utilizing the Ampere architecture can easily play the game. The game, built using Unreal Engine 5, does an excellent job portraying its visuals in contrast to its lore. With the settings below, you will be able to enjoy the game with minimal frame rate loss.
Note: The game appears to be using a very old iteration of the DLSS upscaling algorithm. From our findings, using DLSS Swapper to change to the transformer model yields the best image.

Little Nightmares 3 – Best Settings for RTX 3050, RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3070 Ti
The settings below apply to RTX 3050 and up to RTX 3070 Ti. For both the 3050 6 and 8GB and the 3060 8 and 12GB models, we recommend using 1080p, and that too alongside DLAA.
With RTX 3070 Ti and above, you can switch to 1440p and enjoy these settings. The game is well optimized, but has a lot of inconsistencies present within the output image. For starters, noticeable shimmering and artifacting are present. DLAA helps clean up the image, especially the Transformer model, but still, the image appears soft and blurry in most cases.
This is why we strongly advise against using DLSS when the frame rate drops, instead of lowering settings. Using DLSS will result in a softer image and can hamper the game’s fidelity.
