Little Nightmares 3 is an incredibly well-optimized game, offering incredible visual fidelity and atmospheric effects made possible by the Unreal Engine 5. Even with the RTX 50 Series, you may experience traversal stutters, frame time issues, and frame pacing, among others. That said, below are the best settings to refer to.

From our observations, there is active shimmering within the game even with DLAA enabled, and there is a significant amount of noise visible within the image. This is why we strongly recommend the use of DLAA; otherwise, the image will appear noisy, blurred, and have motion artifacts.

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 output image.

The settings below apply to RTX 5050 and higher, up to RTX 5060 Ti. We recommend playing the game at 1080p or 1440p with DLAA, as the game is incredibly well optimized, and any RTX 50 Series GPU can drive it seamlessly.

On the RTX 5060 Ti, especially the 16GB card, you can push for 4K, but if the frame rate drops below your monitor’s max refresh rate, then lower the settings.

For RTX 5070 and higher, we recommend playing at 1440p or even 4K with DLAA. The game performs incredibly well and does not require any sort of upscaling. However, if the frame rate drops in certain intensive stages, then we recommend using upscaling.
