Where Winds Meet looks exceptionally good on modern GPUs such as the RTX 40 Series. The game is built on the Messiah Engine and can be pretty demanding on entry-level cards like the RTX 4060 when using overly ambitious settings. 

Ray tracing looks impressive here, but the performance trade-off isn’t worth it on mid-range RTX 40 Series GPUs. There is also a noticeable shimmering issue that continually affects the game’s visual clarity.

The settings below improve the game’s visuals and help reduce shimmering so that you can enjoy a smoother, cleaner image.

Note: The game is quite CPU-heavy, and we recommend pairing a Ryzen 5 7500F with an entry-level RTX 40 Series card to avoid bottlenecks. The higher the CPU performance, the better the frame pacing will be.

For the RTX 4060 and up through the RTX 4060 Ti, we recommend playing at 1080p. 1440p is achievable; you can try it on the 4060 Ti and see how things fare.

Higher resolution can look good, depending on your monitor, but it is highly situational. There’s also a chance the shimmering within foliage may not be noticeable at 1440p, especially on a good screen. Since we are not opting for upscaling and relying on DLAA for the best image quality and reduced shimmer, the settings below are on the conservative side.

On GPUs such as RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti Super, you can easily play at 1440p resolution with these settings. With RTX 4080 or later, you can enable RT and enjoy 1440p. With the 4090, you can play at 4K with RT enabled.
